Question: If I buy it do I have to buy a contract
Document: I didnt know i had to get on a 2yr. Contract to use this device but arrived in just as planned. Wasnt damage and brand nee. Great price. Will reccomend for others if with verizon 2yr. Contact
I was told that I would have to pay $249.00 for a new device or sign another 2 yr contract with my internet provider. I ventured on amazon and  found same unit (like new just like promised) . Up and running and thanks !
It's not as fast as the Verizon Jetpack (up to 10mbps down 3mbps up), but the connection is much more stable and I was able to get the port forwarding to do what I needed without any issues whatsoever. I also get 10GB of no-contract data per month for only $35 (and only when I need it!) instead of being forced to pay $80 per month.
I found this product for the perfect price on amazon. I bought it because it was newer than the one I already had, and I didn't want to renew my contract. I like the features on this device. The mini screen is perfect for checking the amount of used, and also how many devices are connected to it. You'll also be able to tell when you are on 4G LTE right from the screen instead of you having to remember blinking color lights.
Due the Hurricane Sandy knocking out phones and internet in lower manhattan, NYC, I purchased the Verizon 890L Jetpack 10 days ago from Best Buy. I noticed that my Verizon iphone5 was getting good 4G-LTE signals at work, so I thought it would be a good idea to pick up a Jetpack to provide some WiFi in the office until our service comes back.What a nightmare this turned out to be. Initial setup went fairly smoothly.
The Internet speed was a lot slower than I was hoping for, but other than that it was great. Holds a charge well, too.
works as expected, in as new condition.I've been using it without any problems since I got it. I've been happy with it.
Works great! Remember to set the sleep features to your liking, yes there are two of them, I disabled both as I want it always on and connected.
I use one of these at work, and have so for about 3 months.The hotspot works well, when it is working, but periodically, it "forgets" it is on a network, or loses signal or something and it will NOT find it again.
I don't have any issues with this. Needed an aircard that could connect 10 devices at a time. Has a nice display to see how many connected. Also only 5 can connect on 3G.
Answer: If you buy the 890L from Amazon or other independent vendors, you don't need a long term contract (e.g., 2 yrs).  However, you do need to purchase a monthly service allowance from Verizon.  You can get the details from their web site or via a chat there.  You can also suspend service ($0) for up to 90 days two times in a year.  The 890L has provided excellent service for me.
