I don't have time to read anything about this but someone recommended it to me.

Do I just need to put in a sim card from Verizon and then I can connect to 4G anywhere that their service is available through USB?

 

I need to be able to use internet on a laptop in a car while traveling acrossed the US.

 

I don't know much about 4G LTE, I've only worked with wired connections and local wi-fi.

 

Are there any other services or devices you would recommend for me?

Looks like it, pretty sure you need to buy the service from Verizon too though.

Just get one of those portable hotspots?

you have to pay verizon for data

its basically just a 4G USB adapter to get data to a laptop just like with phones

 

you have to either pay monthly or by the data you use

Thanks. I think you just get a phone plan and they give you a sim card for your phone but instead of puting it in the phone, you put it in this.

yeah but it would be simpler to just get the whole device in one with a plan...

That's what this is though.

Um, no?

You need to first get this adapter, then buy a sim card with a plan from the company

Or you can just go directly to the company and buy a single USB 3/4G stick with a plan and not need to bother about 2 separate pieces

Also prices will probably be cheaper than paying for a sim that wont actually be used in a phone

 

Plus you also need to pay the cost of the adapter you linked and shipping, while just buying the USB stick with a plan usually doesnt cost anything

Yeah, I think the adapter is like $30 with a contract 1 or 2 year contract.
