I have to change to a cellular equipped tablet for e-logs. What "good value" cell service are you folks using? Of course, it goes without saying, I need really good coverage too.
My tablet is an unlocked android. So, a bring your own device plan is preferred.
TIA

I don't know if this helps or not, but.
I've always had Verizon as my cell service provider. When we had to go to elog, I added a second line to my service and linked that new number to an air card. Basically a cellular modem, and used that for the laptop and, later, the tablet that I used for the elog. And when I had to provide a cell number to the broker for tracking their load, the aircard number is what they got. The aircard never left the truck, the cell phone did. I don't mind them tracking their load, but they have no business tracking ME.RustyBolt Thanks this. -

I've been using visible from Verizon. Coverage seems to be the same and my bill went from 120 a month to 33 dollars a month after prepaying a year in advance.

With t-mobile, I'm paying about $100 a month. I don't have any slowdowns or interruptions or any of that, but I do have a limit on the Hotspot data.
I just looked into it and Verizon will not slow your voice or data. What will be slowed if anything, would be like streaming movies or things like that that require a lot of data at peak times, or in areas that they don't have a lot of towers.
But Verizon has such great coverage, you should pretty much always have voice and text, probably better than the other carriers.
For the price, I could probably get that AND home Wi-Fi for what I have been paying.
That's a very cool thing this site has such a great exchange of information.86scotty, RustyBolt and Opendeckin Thank this. -

Try Mint. Cheaper than Visible and much better customer service.
RustyBolt Thanks this.
