You have no idea how much time I've wasted looking for a video like this that consolidates all the relevant information I needed to collect.
THANK YOU!!!
Welcome to our channel.. we are super focused on this topic.
Amazing! Thank you!!
Can't believe AT&T and T-Mobile still offer their standalone tablet plans! Definitely my favorite and I also got Project Genesis which works pretty well for unlimited hotspot.
We keep hoping Project Genesis brings that plan back, it's a great one for sure!
@@MobileInternetResourceCenter 100%. Thankfully I have one that lives in my laptop bag.
Thanks!
Hello, thank you for your video,
Could you give me some advice?
I need a cellular internet connection (actually 3 different sites) in a remote area (on a farm), so we can have an wifi signal to monitor our solar power production.
We have been using the old MC760. the old 3G mobile broadband device, with TMobile, I have been having problems with this setup and think we should upgrade to something more modern. I would need a plug-in (not battery powered) device,
Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance,
Gypsy
We are focused on mobile internet options for RVers and cruisers - stationary internet is not something we can offer advice. Here's our guide to optimizing for a specific location with some tips: www.rvmobileintenret.com/stationary
Thanks for the video. Question, wonder why T-Mobile allows international roaming with all their plans, but the business plans? If you're a business...wouldn't it be more likely (versus personal plan) that you may travel and NEED international roaming? Do they offer an option to add international roaming that you know of?
Thanks again
Their smartphone plans include international roaming. But their 'business internet' plans do not, they are meant for domestic use only and generally for fixed locations.
I added Verizon 100gb Hotspot to my phone line for $10 more. I pay $55 per month on my line total.
Plans are always updating and giving deals
Can you plz make a video about what is the best plan to buy if you have a mobile Ai device in car running your CarPlay infotainment system on the dashboard. I have no idea what to get so I can run my streaming apps I have the. Carabc H5. Box I think I need micro sd 🤷🏽♂️
We are focused on the RV and boat audience - these are our top pick data plans for them.
This might be a bit of a lazy question but what would be the best backup internet plan for your home? For example, my charter has been out for 2 days and I’d like to have a backup option when it happens. I’d like to be able to plug my WiFi into a fully functioning internet that just works. I am currently on Tmobile and have phone service, a tablet and a watch.
For a stationary location, totally depends on what your options are at your location: www.rvmobileinternet.com/stationary. We are focused on mobile and primary internet sources on the road.
Have you had any experience operating mobile internet near Canadian border. T-mobile uses Rogers and Telus for phone service but could not get the Mobile Internet Router to hook up.
You should check the international roaming terms of your data plan - some include it, some don't.
AT&T offers 5G home internet now I believe called AT&T Internet Air. Thanks for the video!
Yes, but their fine print states that it is only to be used at the location where service is established.
@@MobileInternetResourceCenter doh! Thanks for clarifying!!!
Are there any prepaid plans that support buying a block of data (say 50GB) and using that in a hotspot/mifi device until it runs out? My use case is inconsistent travel and I'd rather not pay monthly. Thanks!
We occasionally see such options (such as for Peplink Routers with eSIMs) - but the costs are prohibitively high. Here's our guide for part-time travelers: www.rvmobileinternet.com/part-time
@@MobileInternetResourceCenter I was hoping to also see if something like this were possible, or carryover data on a cheap plan that could build up when not traveling
I was also wondering if anyone you know uses a WWAN laptop and what plan they use (but I think I would still prefer something like mentioned above, carryover data)
Hi Kiki
Hi there, I just reached one of the right reps who immediately found the $20 At&t tablet plan you spoke of. Great price! but, does it work like the old $35 unlimited or the new $55 50gg ($35 w/autopay)) where the sim card "just works" in an at&t hotspot? That's even greater! if you give me the right answer I promise to sign up as a member ! - THANK YOU for all of your hard work.
This is a tablet plan, only authorized for use in a tablet.
What plans can you pause when not traveling in rv?
We have a list of plans we consider flexible curated for our members at: www.rvmobileinternet.com/part-time. Also join us for our MIRC LIVE this Tuesday evening, we'll be addressing part-time RV travels.
I have had Verizon 5g home internet at an unauthorized address for 11 months now. It works great and it is $30 month. I hope they don't suddenly enforce the location rules.
The home internet plans are great values - but the terms are clearly there for fixed location use only.
I'm also using a home Internet service but from T-Mobile. I pay $30 per month and I use it primarily for mt RV traveling the southwest with no problems. T-Mobile seems to be ok with traveling use and has not enforce the home use only rule. I got a $150 rebate card from T-Mobile duo my 1st 15 months is only $20 per month. I have use the the T-Mobile gateway in Texas, Arizona and California so far. Sometimes I will get over 200mg download. I watch Netflix until the cows come home. Sorry Starlink users.
Verizon does enforce the address lock to home internet but T-Mobile doesn't so you can just it wherever T-Mobile has service.
We have not heard of consistent reports of Verizon enforcing the fixed location terms.
@@MobileInternetResourceCenterI think it’s a recent thing. About two months ago reports of users on Verizon Home Internet no longer being able to use while traveling have gone way up. This is from Reddit posts I’ve read.
We keep a regular eye on it.. and have not seen any reports in RVing groups and such.
My phone gets too hot when I use it as a Hotspot and leave it on the charger, but if I don't it drains the battery pretty quickly.
That's one of the downsides of using a phone's hotspot feature - here's more: www.rvmobileinternet.com/cellular-devices
@@MobileInternetResourceCenter Thank you.
im a newly, why do manafactures include Winegaurd systems on the roof? Or is that for something totally different?
Winegard and many manufacturers have a deal to include the system.
Still have a couple TMO $10 tablet plans. TMO Home internet SIMs will work in a router.
We have tested TMHI SIMs in a router multiple times - and they do not work. However their business version of the plan does.
Visible also limits hotspot to one device at a time. So you can’t hotspot multiple devices at the same time.
They have changed that and you can have multiple devices at Visible. visible plans have gone from 5mbps to 10 mbps on Visible plus plan. Video is still limited to around 2mbps so SD 480p but I often get 720p with Visible and rarely 1080.
I have uncongested Verizon towers out in a very rural area and I do not travel much so Visible Basic works great for me. I use the unlimited hotspot to run my laptop which is my home internet more or less because it is about the only plan available where I live besides very expensive ones.
