Interesting .... Wonder if it will work in a 4G tablet.
Not sure but I do know this:How will it prevent hotspot usage?
1. Americans have always been able to block hotspotting on phones. from the days when they started offering unlimited plans. They used to call it "No tethering".
2. Every device needs an IP address, I guess they could block additional IP addresses on the specific sim.

What exactly is going to stop one from making a hotspot?
Ah yes, point 2. You can just root your phone and get around it.
Hey there Ladies and Gents
I can't actually get into the specifics of this but we do have a way of detecting and managing hotspots.

Oh, darn, really wish they'd make a 24/7 Plus package for home use by now at a much higher price which is basically this minus the streaming cap in off-peak hours, and even with the bypassable hotspot monitoring it would be very tedious to maintain so good on them for this deal.

500Kbps average speeds + and 360p streaming. Lost the plot. Still getting more users on a severely crippled network. WTF.
The network isn't crippled, and we are making updates and improvements to the network.

Okay then help neon ninja out to prove your network isn't crippled.
Listening to your customers, I certainly would never consider a rain product until your 'updates' are complete.
We will continue to work on it, and we hope you will consider us in the future.
In my area the tower im connected to is always conjested and rain is only connecting me to that tower not the other closer towers around me
@Jintong please PM me with the email address that is linked to your rain account, let me take a look at this for you.
I would just use the R250 for my phone as most of the time I am home between 6-11pm and on wifi
