Any OTR Truckers with Sprint or T-Mobile Unlimited Data?

We got my daughter a Toshiba tablet for Christmas 2 years ago and it somehow managed to delete the Android 3.0 operating system. Now its a paperweight.

 

Packrat i can probably help you with this if you want.
Basically you probably need to install a couple files on a sdhc card install it and push the right button combo to get it to install a new os.

 

I have tmobile and it works good forv me ,but i basically run the I 95 ,I 81 corridor from va to mass. only problems i have in some parts of western pa. I had sprint for years but hated their customer service

 

Yeah, the geek squad said as much. We'd have to flash a new OS onto it. I guess it was a rogue ap that caused it.

 

Use Wifi when U around free wifi area. It save ur data. Not affect ur data usage though

 

I have T-Mobile works pretty good all over but you will have those bad areas but not for long. Works good for me and I'm all over the place.

 

I have straighttalk unlimited on my phone. you dont have to use one of their garbage phones at walmart just need an unlocked gsm. For talking and texting it's great but they are TERRIBLE about data usage. Good coverage most everywhere i've been to. In the small print it says you may only view mobile websites, no video, tethering or anything useful and if you use too much too quick you're throttled for the rest of the month....

I have sprint 3g/4g Mobile broadband through Millenicom for my laptop. 3g coverage is pretty good but 4g is garbage even in and around most cities but works in random backwoods areas of KY and TN... I tend to use 25-30gb/mo. It's worked pretty well for me running Midwest and Notheast but now that i'm back OTR it's hit and miss. I'm thinking of moving over to the verizon hotspot so i can use my tablet too. 20gb cap for $70/mo

 

When I go back OTR, I'll probably jump on with Millenicom, too. Not sure yet if I'll go with the 20gb on Verizon or unlimited on Sprint. I could probably make do with 20gb for the better coverage... I love the T-Mobile deals available now and am using it at home, but am afraid I'll have to go elsewhere when I go out.

Although, RKH's response seems promising. Maybe I'll just carry an AT&T SIM Card with me in case I have to make a phone call outside of T-Mo's coverage =) (or use wifi calling over the millenicom!! yes, yes, this may work...)

 

As a long time sprint customers, over 10 years (we had Nextel before sprint bought them and had very little trouble) we finally made the move to Verizon. No, Verizon doesn't offer unlimited data plans like sprint does but the way we figured it was, what the heck good does an unlimited data plan do us when at least 50% of the time we couldn't even get service for regular phone usage. For our usage we didn't need a big data plan, but we'll see how much we use now that we actually have reliable service that we can really use. We got a 8 gig plan with two phone lines for the same price as we were paying at sprint. sprint's customer service is perhaps the worst I've ever dealt with. They'll blow smoke up your behind claiming they're working hard to get everyone better service yet nothing has changed for years. Go to sprint's facebook page and see how many folks are complaining about their crappy service, especially when they make an idiotic post about rolling out 4g service to a new area. Most of folk's comments to them are along the lines of, "Screw your 4g service! You can't even give us reliable phone service!" Maybe sprint is spending too much on nascar to be able to afford actually giving folks reliable service.

Another good thing about Verizon is that one can make changes to their plan without extending your contract. At sprint, if you want to add a line, change phones, or do anything else with your plan, you automatically have to start a new 2 year contract.
