    I tried to make a post and it got picked up for mod approval for some reason. I wonder if this will go through.

    Edit: yep, looks like it.

    Just be patient and wait for mod approval when that happens.

    I have Verizon Cell Service, use the Wifi Hotspot.
    I am on an old Unlimited Data Plan.

    Guess you'll have to see how much you use.
    10gigs really isn't that much.


    Wow, I thought I use alot 30-50gigs most months.

    I have Verizon, I am on a Unlimited Data Plan. which they would like me to upgrade, not going to happen. When I have a chance to game I will buy a 24 hour plan at the truck stop.

    I am usually a heavy user I would guess. I don't stream a lot of movies, but I do watch YouTube a bunch. I imagine I will be sending in BOLs eventually as well, scanning them and emailing them.

    What unlimited plans are out there? What is it costing you and is it still available?

    Sprint is a non-starter for me. Had too many troubles with their coverage in the past.

    I have unlimited, because I've had the same plan for about 3 or 4 years.

    I got 10 gigs from att. I come close to using it but I also run hard as I legally can. Not a lot of down time. I watch shows on youtube and what not haven't gone over but my phone has an option to turn data off when I hit I certain amount. I have used truck stop wifi before I wasnt very impressed with it although alot of people do use it. I would start low. You can always up grade your plan if you realize you need more. Way easier to up your plan then to down size it.

    I am using Version and have 20 gigs a month. I am not happy with the cost as I have no idea how many gigs I am using at any time. It would be nice if it had a meter on it to let you know how much you were using at the time. I know how to go online and look but it seems that all of a sudden, I used it all.

    On the two trucks that I have on order, I am going to have an in motion satellite system installed so I can have the same systems as folks in their homes do. I do not know if that will be Dish or something else. But that is the way to go, I believe.
