I do not have phone capability, though.<\/p>\n<p>The Sprint modem\/router picks up the Sprint LTE cellular<br \/>\nsignal containing Internet data and converts it to a WiFi<br \/>\nsignal which is transmitted to the tablet.<\/p>\n<p>Each device is battery powered, and charged by plugging<br \/>\na USB cable with a micro USB connector into the device<br \/>\nand a male A-type USB connector into the charger.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of plugging into a charger, the tablet can connect<br \/>\nto a computer by plugging the A-type connector into the<br \/>\ncomputer. This allows both data transfer and charging<br \/>\nthe tablet from the computer.<\/p>\n<p>The Sprint modem\/router can connect to a computer in<br \/>\nexactly the same way.
