Anyone using Straight Talk ZTE288C LTE Hot Spot?

If anyone is using the Straight Talk ZTE288C LTE mobile hotspot on Verizon do you know if it can drop back to 3G if 4G is not available in the area? Also, how well does this hotspot work for you?

Thanks
  • Thank you for the replies. We could not find out if the ZTE288C would drop back to 3G if 4G was not available in an area.

    Correction, Should have said does not run at LTE speeds. 5Mb/s seems to be the max.
  • From what I hear, the ZTE288C doesn't really ever run at 4G speeds. It will drop to 3G if 4G is not available.

    I had the ZTE289 version that ran on AT&T network, for a short time, but that one didn't work at all.
  • Yes it is backwards compatible.. Works fine but it does eat data when using video.
