I think we're having a disconnect Barb - you buy this hotspot from Digicel (internet provider in Jamaica) plug it in - and use your devices on it - wirelessly- you're only a Digicel customer while in Jamaica and you pay as you go -

when I go visit my sister - I just turn on my laptop, iPhone, enter the password and that's it (well I don't have to enter the password anymore)

we took it to Hedo - plugged it in and wifi

when I get home - it's back to AT&T or my wifi at home
