    i don't know. $70 is a lot of moola for 20 gigs.

    i'll pay $10 more per month for unlimited mobile to mobile. data. text. gps. and hotspot. i'll pay for a phone instead.

    I have the verizon wireless jetpack mounted on the wall in the sleeper. It is good for 50 feet of range so I can sit outside the truck at a picnic table and use it. It is the 4glte coverage and been pretty fast where i am.

    I finally made a decision. I'm expecting delivery of my Tmobile hotspot with no contract. It was cheap enough as a stater to
    check Tmobile's service out. Less than 40 dollars and it comes with a 25 dollar data card and free activation. I was really worried about getting a phone and trying
    to look for loads, map them out and call a broker all at once from one device. Tmobile seems really customer friendly all the times I called asking questions.
    I called att one last time to see if they could do anything the lady there was at a loss as it has become apparent att's new mantra is ?? "run the customers off"
    I suspect after a 30 day or so trial marriage to tmoble I'll be divorcing att.

    We pay $241 a month for four lines, three with unlimited data with mobile hotspot and two with unlimited minutes. I will drop the fourth line when I'm able to next year.

    We don't have Vodafone in the US though I do believe Verizon Wireless is partnered with them. A few Verizon phones had international roaming capabilities using Vodafone networks.
