Bought from Verizon and utilized about 3 months due to extremely bad Verizon signal. Functions via internet/ethernet connection to convert to cellular phone signal. I decided to switch to Straight Talk which utilizes ATT in my area and has a better signal. My other half has and travels a lot household on Verizon. She changed to Verizon pre-paid and is keeping her 3 G phone.
The extender will certainly not deal with Verizon prepaid service. Just with Verizon postpaid agreement service.
