(For more on why Verizon’s network is superior, read our guide to the best cell phone plans.) Since our last update to this guide, Verizon has helped its cause by rolling out a new set of data-only hotspot plans, both postpaid and prepaid, that offer far more data than you’d get via mobile hotspot on even its most expensive smartphone plans. Meanwhile, Verizon’s LTE coverage still tops surveys for nationwide service-especially in places where free public Wi-Fi is scarcest. 4G boosters can also technically work with 5G phones with a caveat: It will enhance signals only when you set the phone in its 'settings' to operate on 4G / LTE.
Verizon just launched a 5G hotspot to take advantage of growing network coverage with next-generation speeds, but until we test that model, the 8800L remains a good, reliable value. A 4G signal booster will definitely work with AT& Ts 5Ge network (5G Evolution) because it is the same, only faster. And because the hotspot itself charges via that same port, you can use the AC adapter from a USB-C laptop or Android phone to recharge it, saving on bag space. Its battery lasts through all but the longest workdays-it averaged almost 11.5 hours in our tests in late 2020 and early 2021-and it has a USB-C port that you can use to charge your phone or tablet if necessary. Most people who need only occasional internet access for their own laptop should just tether to their phones, but the Verizon Inseego Jetpack MiFi 8800L does the job more reliably and for much longer periods.
