No, Sprint is providing Mobile Beacon’s users with an unlimited 4G LTE data-only plan subject to Sprint’s network management policy for the unlimited LTE plan it offers its own retail customers. There are no preset data caps or overage charges.*

* Sprint’s “Quality of Service” Practices (QoS): Unlimited customers who use more than 50 GB of data during a billing cycle will be deprioritized during times and places where the Sprint network is constrained. See See sprint.com/networkmanagement for details. Limited time offer. Coverage not available everywhere. Subject to availability. Eligibility restrictions and other restrictions may apply. All service plans are subject to Mobile Beacon’s Terms and Conditions located at https://www.mobilebeacon.org/legal.

The 4G LTE service plan Mobile Beacon offers is unlimited — there are no data caps or throttling under this plan. Quality of Service (QoS) is different from throttling in several ways. First, it is not automatically triggered by reaching a certain data allotment. With throttling, speeds will automatically be reduced as soon as a certain data allotment is reached, regardless of network capacity.

Sprint’s QoS is only triggered during periods of network congestion and if a user has surpassed 50 GB of data during that month. Customers may experience a temporary slowdown for a few seconds, a few minutes, a few hours, or not at all. This slowdown will cease as soon as network resources are freed up (which is re-evaluated every nanosecond). This is very different from throttling where users are subject to lower speeds for the remainder of their billing cycle.

QoS is also different from throttling in that throughput speeds are not dramatically reduced to, say, 156 Kpbs. With Sprint’s 4G LTE service, even if QoS is applied, users may still experience download speeds faster than Mobile Beacon’s previous speeds on Sprint’s WiMAX network (3-6 Mpbs).

We offer a choice of mobile or fixed 4G LTE devices to give you access when and where you need it. It depends on where you need to connect and how many devices you need to connect.

View our current list of devices here.

The ZTE Warp Connect does support the use of an external antenna, but Mobile Beacon does not offer (and has not tested) any compatible external antennas for this device. You may be able to purchase one independently from Mobile Beacon, but you are responsible for ensuring it is compatible with the device and is compliant with Mobile Beacon's LTE Customer Agreement, which includes Sprint's Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service.

Libraries are able to transfer service to devices at different branches.

Mobile Beacon can provide your organization with a monthly data usage report. Reports are made available on the 15th of each month for the previous month and include the data usage in GB per device. Please email [email protected] to receive your data usage report monthly.

View our detailed instructions for how to check 4G LTE coverage in your area before checking coverage on Sprint.com.

Sprint’s coverage map can't guarantee coverage; rather, it approximates your anticipated coverage. Certain areas may have limited or no coverage, and various factors (e.g. terrain, foliage, buildings) may affect your actual coverage at a particular location.

No, you do not need to make an account on Sprint.com nor do you need to register your LTE devices on Sprint.com. Accessing the Manager’s Page for your device will give you access to all of your information. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact Mobile Beacon’s Customer Service Team at [email protected].

Please contact us immediately if your device is lost or stolen. You can reach us by emailing [email protected], or you can call us at 401-934-0500. We will need the PTN and serial number of that device in order to cancel the service and prevent unauthorized access.

If your device is deemed defective and you are within the 60-day trial period, you should email [email protected] within the first 60 days following your purchase. Be sure to include the PTN and serial number of any device you wish to cancel in your email. Someone from our Customer Service Team will email you back with information on how to return your device and receive a replacement.

If you would like to change or cancel your service plan, please email our Customer Service Team at [email protected] and let us know what changes you would like to make to your account.

We know how important it is to have a reliable, mobile internet service that works for you, and we believe only you can be the judge of whether our service meets your needs. That’s why we offer a 60-Day Limited Refund Policy with any new purchase. We want to give you ample time to evaluate whether our service and device will meet your organization’s needs.

We also understand our not-for-profit clients work within limited budgets, so we recommend starting out by requesting a single device donation through our TechSoup donation program for public libraries and nonprofits, or through our Digital Wish donation program for schools, colleges, and universities. This will further reduce any upfront costs while you evaluate our service.

Requests to add, delete or update contact information should be provided in writing by the primary contact on the account to [email protected] please include name, title, contact number, and email address. If the primary contact is no longer with the organization, any active contact on the account can provide the information referred above.

Mobile Beacon’s service is only available to eligible community anchor institutions. Organization based emails are required to help validate your eligibility. If you are associated with more than one organizations you must provide an organization email address for each organization.

If your organization has more than one device, we recommend you create a spreadsheet with all of the pertinent device information to make managing your devices simple.

Yes, Sprint provides a tool for content filtering on the devices. Sprint’s content filtering tool helps protect the Sprint device you purchased through Mobile Beacon against adult content and malware while browsing the web on the Sprint network.

We will submit a request through Sprint to block sites or content determined inappropriate in accordance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). For more information on CIPA, please visit fcc.gov/guides/childrens-internet-protection-act.

When Sprint’s content filter is set to on, all web pages accessed by the Sprint network that the user visits will be screened for adult content (pornography), and malware. Any attempt to visit such a page will result in the following message being displayed:

Please note Sprint’s content filtering tool will not filter emails, SMS, MMS, applications or anything else which is not accessed through a web browser. The content filter is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate but is very accurate with daily updates to the filter list. The content filter will only work for web pages accessible via the Sprint network. It will not work if the device is roaming or using WiFi.

Additional information regarding Sprint's Content Filtering Tool:

If you are interested in adding this feature, please contact our Customer Service Team at [email protected].

No. The hotspots are mobile devices that are designed run off of their own rechargeable battery. The estimated battery life is 8-10 hours before recharging is necessary. Please be careful not to over-charge your hotspot. Overcharging can cause significant damage and/or loss of life to the battery. Please note: The battery is not typically covered under the limited manufacturer warranty.

If you are tethering with the device (providing internet to a computer via a USB connection), try removing the battery once the device is fully charged to prevent overcharging. Often, the device will receive enough power from the USB cable. If the device does not have enough power to stay connected without the battery in it, please remember to unplug it anytime that it is not being used to tether.

Mobile Beacon is here to help assist you if you are experiencing difficulties with your device and need technical support.
