hello, I am not sure my how much cellphone data I would need while I am over the road. How much data do you use while over the road? My current data plan is 16 gigs of data with Verizon. I was reading up that Verizon is the best cellphone provider to get while on the road. The reason why I ask is because Verizon is going to have unlimited data plan back again and might get it if I need more data.

If unlimited is an option I'd grab that. I mostly browse the internet to stretch my data but I could blow through 16 gigs in a week.

That is a lot of data to use in a week.

I keep an eye on it and only use it when needed as a hot spot for my laptop. I have T-mobile so I have the binge on to watch you-tube, etc... without using my data. But I end up using approx. 6-7GB a month on average.

Well you use your phone for gps? I thought you can use the qualcomm for gps or is it because the gps on that is bad?

I use my GPS to help my trip plan, but not to navigate with. The phone GPS doesn't take a lot of truck attributes into account that would make it a good thing to do normally. I don't us the QC Navigo system as it's no good to me. but again... it's another tool to use. so I use multiple things and read signs to get me where I need to go.

I could stretch 5GB's an entire month.... as long as I didn't watch much porn.

Sprint unlimited data. I go through 20 plus gigs a month. Sprint roams on Verizon towers if you get out of sprint service. Sprint is way cheaper. I have 4 phones all unlimited with wifi hotspot. $180 per month. Just saying it's an option
