How are you recieving Netflix on the road

If you pay for the new phone yourself, or possibly with the edge plan, u can keep the unlimited. Yeah, thats expensive, but the value of keeping unlimited data, i wish id done it...

 

Thanks everyone for the response's.

Do you have ATT and if so how much do you pay for tethering if you don't mind me asking.

 

I just got the new Sprint Zing Hotspot device. It's really cool and gets me, right now, 3 gig's/month for $35. In the cab, I wi-fi to the Zing with my laptop, Nexus pad, my Rand McNally GPS and Smart TV player. Then you can use the internet on all these devices.

But, for Netflix, since movies are bigger in size, I stream onto my cell phone (Galaxy Note 3) and use the Samsung All Share device to share my cell phone screen with my TV screen through the HDMI cable. This way, I use my unlimited data plan for Netfilx and then use my hotspot device for my laptop and GPS for the small amount of data that they use up.

 

I saw at a loves today a movie console called digiboo. It is a service where you will be able to load movies to your device via USB or WiFi right at the truck stop.
That's all I know so far.

 

I get three discs at a time, then immediately make copies of them, then send the originals back to Netflix.

 

I have enough movies and tv downloaded to my laptop to entertain me for a year.

 

Thanks everyone for the Intel. I'm going to call ATT and see which is cheaper, tethering or the ATT g4 Beam. Seams like they both serve the same purpose. I believe the difference being, the ATT Beam plugs into your USB port on your laptop and connects to internet without your phone preventing your phone from always running down the charge.

 

I found that you can't have the phone do too much. I would hotspot my GPS through the phone, but when I got a call, the GPS would disconnect from the hotspot. It was much more efficient to get a hotspot device to do Internet only. Don't be so concerned about cheapest.... You know how that turns out.

 

Your right it's not cheep. I just got off the phone with ATT. After 30 plus minutes the rep finally understood what I wanted. Pay 169.00 cash for the ATT Beam that plugs into the USB port = no new contract. 10 GB 60.00 and 20.00 for laptop. GPS will connect through Beam so my cell is left untouched. This is what I' going with.

Verizon is killing me I don't have an unlimited plan. I thought they got rid if that. Anyway 5 gigs and sometimes I go over.
