Internet on the road

I will pay no matter what it costs to keep it just for the simple principle of the matter.

 

I was in the same boat. Wife gave hers up years ago and went to a dumb phone. She really wanted a smart phone again. So I caved. My phone bill dropped a decent chunk. Now I just have to connect to wifi where I can.

 

I really don't use that much data but I just can't bring myself too cave in to them

 

I was hoping to cut my bill down now that i don't need data anymore. Other then the light usage.

I'd have to crop a chunk of data and i'd only be saving $10 or $20. Not worth it. But then, the phone don't work at home anymore. Without the home wifi. So it's a tough decision.

 

If anyone else is thinking of dropping their grandfathered in unlimited verizon plan, please let me know. I would LOVE it! Thanks...

 

If it's not going to be any good for them, why would you want it?^^^

 

I use wifi at home. Thinking of working locally again so would only need a little bit of data but still hard too part with unlimited.

Make sure your phone can miracast

Chromecast requires a router and wireless network. And until recently, it required an Internet connection and only played web-based content. It only works through Chrome as well.

Miracast is peer-to-peer. Your transmitting device (like your PC, your phone, tablet, etc.) connects directly to the receiving device (like your TV). No need for a wireless network. No need for a router. No need for the Internet. You can play any content you like. You can extend your desktop (so you can be doing email on your laptop while playing a movie on the TV). You can mirror your display. You can play any content via any program or any app.

You might think that scenario isn't important to you. But portability and freedom are important in a lot of situations. Let's say you want to go to an acquaintance's house and want to show a movie or slideshow or something but they won't give you the password to their network (even friends can be paranoid about giving out their password). Or let's say you are doing a presentation at an office which most likely won't let your computer on their protected network. Or let's say you're throwing a pool party and have a TV out there with your cell phone or laptop but no wireless network in sight. Hotspot access costs extra money for a lot of people. Travel routers mean more wires and another power plug.
