Ya wish I had time to play games to but I am driving to much or sleeping but when I take restarts it would be nice I might as well just use Pilots or Js it works well enough for Netflix last 3 out 4 I've tried just gotta get close to building

sprint has always been unlimited. and has no plans to change any time soon.
i use my phone for wifi hotspot. and i dont pay extra for the plan. paying for one of them limited data wifi devices is just wasting money when your phone can do the same thing. -
I use verizon...far superior in coverage over att..just ask my trainer hes always asking me to turn on my hotspot because he has low or no signal
RickG Thanks this. -

I have unlimited on my phone and 2GB/month on the phone's wifi hotspot through Verizon.
I also heard Pilot/J is going to start letting you pay for wifi with your points, so essentially it's free. -
key word still, and not for long, my cousin is a Verizon Excutive and he said when the Full 4G swich happends next year all of the unlimited grandfathered in people will lose it

Be careful of hotspots. Most of them are unsecure so your computer isn't really safe. It can be expensive to say the least. I used to have AT & T for my internet but in a lot of cases I didn't have a strong enough signal to use it.
I then went to Verizon and now have my private WiFi. I've never had any problems getting a signal with it and you can hook up to 5 devices with it. It cost me $50.00 per month for 5GB and it's a 4G. It's fast and there are no wires to hook up so it's not in the way at all. It's worth it to me and gives me a piece of mind that nobody can get on my WiFi without the passcode.
My advice is to shop around a little to see which one would work for your needs. -
you can set a passcode on any device. you just got to be smart.
google is always your friend and will always show you the way.
as far as hacking goes. somehow i just don't see it coming from any truckers. or they wouldn't be trucking in the first place. they would be doing computers.
there are tons of smart truckers. but when it comes to computers. most of the world don't know anything more then the basics of how to turn it on. and surf the internet. let alone hacking.
