Straight Talk HotSpot

If you bought at Walmart you could return it and try the 2288L which is Verizon tethered. It could be that AT&T has lots of overhead when used via Straighttalk.
Coverage should be pretty equal unless you are stationary and need the AT&T where you are.

I have the Straight Talk U240C 3G hot spot. Seems to be pretty stingy with data usage compared to the 4G Virgin Mobil one I used to have. 4 gigs easily last me 60 days but I don't watch video. The U240C was free with the purchase of a 4 gig card.

We have the Z289L, rapid data use is an understatement. Thanks for the reply.

Had an ATT Hotspot w/5GB, paying $51.00 a month and not using 5GB in a month, maybe 2 at the most. So seen a Straight Talk Hotspot, bought it w/4GB card, wow I used up the 4 in no time, seems it eats up data. Does anyone have a straight Talk Hotspot.

Thanks in advance

Which straighttalk hotspot do you have?
The 288L is Verizon tethered
The 289L is AT&T tethered
The designation L is the latest one and supposedly cure problems found in the C. I believe this included rapid data use.
Some Walmarts still have the "C" on their shelves you have to look closely.
