    Better check your bill Verizen does not have unlimited, you probably have 2-5gb of data to use before they start charging you.I am under the old unlimited plan never upgraded, and there is ways to use your data from your phone to your laptop.:biggrin_2558:

    My phone is only a 3g device so I can't be on it talking while using the wifi.

    I recently upgraded PdaNet on my AT&T Android. It now allows me to use my Android as a hotspot for FREE. Previously I had to use a tether.

    AT&T will allow me to use a 4G enabled tablet for only $10 more a month.

    I'm thinking a tablet if I can find a good trucker GPS program, or I may look for a 4G enabled laptop and ditch my netbook.

    Because we should expect things for free.?
    They are a business and there to make money.

    I have Verizon MiFi and am limited to 5g/per month.
    Therefore, I use that for most of my online computing *except* for streaming movies or watching videos, which will eat up your bandwidth very quickly if you're not careful. Therefore, if I do want to do some streaming or online video watching, I'll buy the truckstop WiFi instead.
