I believe Sprint still has unlimited plans, not sure where you mostly run but they may be an option for you.
-
We used Millenicom and they were truly unlimited. Check their web site and see if that's changed. I wasn't disappointed with their service at all and had pretty good coverage.

You're too late! I got Verizon unlimited broadband and T-Mobile unlimited phone everything. Coverage IS limited with T-mobile. In theory I can do wi-fi calls with my Galaxy over my Verizon svc but the Galaxy doesn't have the right settings available to force wi-fi and I can't make it work.
I use a Cradlepoint router to make wi-fi in the truck and at home. Just plug my Verizon Novatel modem into it.
Smaller carriers still have unlimited but coverage might be iffy. -
I was looking into companies, Sprint coverage is not great if your OTR, I have AT&T and grandfathered into an unlimited plan so im just sticking with it for now since my phone is rooted and I use the tethering. AT&T coverage varies as well but its right behind Verizon, I used 22gb last month on the road watching a movie here and there, using online radio etc so Verizon would be too expensive even though I would prefer them. T-mobile from what I have seen sucks over the road too, if your not in a major city then the data might or might not be there.

Thanks everyone I read some bad things about the compan with service which sucks, I wish I could get the unlimited from Verizon but there dumb, ah well I guess no Internet for me in my truck lol
-
I have sprint. And I turn my phone in to a wifi router. Doesn't cost me anything extra. If you an android phone all you have to do is root your phone and download wifi tether app. Cellphone companies are already charging you arm and a leg, why pay for something you can use for free
-
I can do that also with my iPhone from Verizon BUT the problem is they charge WAY TO MUCH for data plans I have 10g now and it's no where near enough and I have 2 lines on it were payin like 179
jrotra Thanks this. -
I looked at the company you mention, were you OTR? how was the coverage around the country if so, lot of states with dropped signals? I will keep this company in mind if I ever decide to leave AT&T or they find a way to remove my unlimited plan in the future. I know they have throttled me once and have sent "threats" about tethering before I went to a custom rom and stuff. I played stupid "whats tethering?" lol

I have sprint good service, I have 2 lines $150.00 a month unlimited everything. And now sprint has 4g in almost every major city.
