I'm stepping away from my rotary dial cell phone and have purchased one to
use on the road for WiFi. I'm tired of sketchy connections provided by RV
parks and do not like Mickey D's. What is the biggest bang for the least
buck out there. Our local mall is loaded with hawkers from every carrier
and I'd just a soon not get attacked without arming myself with some
knowledge. Non Pic email and WiFi only. Not interested in much else,
well,,,,,,maybe GPS.

My brother has something he calls a "mifi". I think it is from Verizon. $70 per month. I don't know what his data limits are.

Steve,

I think the most important thing here is cell coverage. If you don't have cell phone service, you don't have internet. From what I can tell and have heard, the best network is Verizon.

Steven,

A - Join the club with the shaky Park RV and Micky D's....

B - There are many choices, but none are cheap. Possibly the least expensive over all is the Verizon plans (I am not solid on these) for a hot-spot box that you can either turn-off when not needed or pay-as-you-go for band width. I know these exist, but know little else about them.

C - The possibly least convenient choice would be either one of the boxes that make a hot-spot and leave it alive or get a smart phone and either tether with cable or Wifi. The only advantage of a smart phone is that you would have it, so you pay for the data line if you get one and then you can buy the program that makes a tether work (buy it once) and then you only pay if you exceed the plan band width.

Forgive my ignorance here but it is an AT&T phone. I've heard of plans on
the net where the subscribers are paying as little as $30/mo. Thanks for
helping so far.......

I've been with Verizon since before they were Verizon and agree they have the best converage...period.

Both the wife's smart phone and mine have Mobile Hotspot capability built in. No additional monthly charge. Any data used by my laptop goes against my monthly contract. I barely have a 3G signal inside my house so I haven't tried it yet but during a call to the helpless desk this week, I asked about it and was told that basically I turn it on in the phone, set up the password and my laptop will find it just like any other wifi. Select the network, enter the password and it's on. No data used while idle...only when the laptop is online.

Verizon has a thing called a Jetpack that is basically a black box that does WIFI over the cell. It has it's own bandwidth that is priced based on what you want.

We're only looking at browsing forums and reading email and have way more data than we'll ever use so we're going with the mobile hotspot for now.

keep in mind this is all hearsay. I haven't actually done it yet.

I took our sales rep into Verizon (we both use them). He got a 4G box
that shared the 2gb/month on his phone. The box cost $20 and it was
$20/month. I got grandfathered in with tethering and unlimited data so I
don't need such a gizmo. The part that bites is that if I upgrade my
phone to a 4G one, I lose both perks. Rat bastards...

Steve, we are now using Verizon jet pack. 5 gig per mo. 50 bux. Has an external antenna plug and we have an antenna on roof of GMC. Most of time we need no antenna. Our phone carrier is AT&T. Both of us have iPhones with wifi. We can connect the phones and laptops to the jet pack. Have no data plans on our AT&T phones. This what now works best for us. Always have Internet. I have a little case for the jet pack with a clip. I just clip it to my belt and off I go. Different things work best for different needs. This jet pack serves as our home wifi also.

Hi Steve,

Take a look at Page Plus.
No contract, 3G on Verison towers, same coverage as Verison.
I have used them for years, you can even get them on the phone for help.
I average about $12 a month for voice only, about 300 min. a month on the
$80 plan
good for a year or until you use the minutes at $.04/ min.
Just got my wife an I phone I am trying her on a $12/ mo. plan with 250
min.(she presently averages 15 min. a month) 250 text
and 10 meg. data with $.10/ meg. overage charge, if I can keep her on wifi
mostly, it may
work out to less than $25/mo. otherwise I will go to the $30 plan with 500
meg and $.05 meg overage.
They have a $55 plan with 2 GB and a $70 plan with 5 GB

Steve,

I've been very happy with Millenicom.com's Hotspot plan: $99 for a
Verizon-labeled 4620LE Jetpack supporting up to 10 Wi-Fi users. $69.99 per
month for 20GB. Uses the Verizon network, but you never deal with Verizon
(and cannot). No contract but $15 reconnect fee if you drop off.

They also offer a BYOD plan with unlimited data. Caution: NOT Verizon
network!

When I get home, I may drop my DSL.

Thank you guys for the overwhelming response. Looks like I need to learn a

For Wi-Fi on the road I use an iPad with Verizon. One gigabyte per month costs $20 which is the minimum plan they offer. Verizon also allows tethering to the iPad. Unused data does NOT carry over to the next month. I use it mainly for navigation by either Apple or Google maps and 1gb has been more than enough data for my useage. Apple maps also provides turn by turn voice navigation.

For a phone I use a Trecfone which costs $21 every 3 months for 120 minutes on one of their cheapo double minutes phones. The unused minutes do carry over and I have accumulated about 400 minutes.

If you use a lot of data or do a lot of phone calls my system probably would not work, but its cheap at only $27 per month for both data and phone. I would prefer to be using an iPhone so it was all on one device but that would be a much higher monthly cost. Also, at my age, reading a map on an iPhone would be difficult whereas on an iPad it is quite easy to see the map.

Steve,
While T Mobile may not be the best solution for you because of their
coverage area over the USA, they have a military discount that applies to
the total bill each month. I get 2 phones for less than $90.00. One with
4G and cell phone capability and the other with text messaging and cell
phone capability. I'm currently trying to get my laptop (Win 8) to tether to
my 4g phone, Galaxy S2, without paying that extra $20/month using the PDAnet
app that I bought.
At home I use an Ooma phone hooked up to Cox high speed internet, it rings
what used to be my house phone system and my cell phone simultaneously,
never have to reset it when I'm not home.
Regards,
Gene 76 Eleganza North County San Diego

Steve, as you have noticed, lots of variables and lots of good options. When I got ready to jump from wifi to some kind of paid data, I learned all about what was available from the Escapees Forum. I found their information the easiest to understand. Have not been keeping up with escapees while we have been stuck close to home but as soon as we hit the road agin they will be in my "favorites".

Steve,

I think Dan is using the same thing I do.

I use a Verizon UML 290 USB modem with a remote antennae which I just attached to the center section of my batwing Winegard antennae
so it winds up three feet off the roof.

I get up to 4 LTE speeds depending on where I am.

It's $50 per month.

Regards,
Rob M.

Rob, I got rid of my modem back in the Spring. Will show you what I have now. Super portable and we can carry it into the mall so while I am sitting on the old men's bench I can have Internet, if no other old men wish to visit with me. It is an upgrade from what used to be called Mifi. This one has a brain in it.

Rob, I think I have posed it. But, same unit Ken H has but with Verizon. Jetpack. HAs the option for external antenna. I got mine free from Verizon. Cost me 50 bux a month for 5 gig. That more than takes care of us. We dont do videos.
The Milletium, or whatever, that Ken has might be better for you, pay as you go. Same unit, Verizon Jetpack.
