Internet

I have AT&T service for my phones and tablet with 20GB data every month. I've never had to conserve my use of it and always seem to roll over data. For this month I have 32gb allotted and have only used 1/3 of it with 7 days left.

I guess it all depends on what you will be doing online...If you are watching tons of YouTube videos then you may want to keep an eye on the data...

 

my grandfathered in Verizon unlimited data hotshot is $80 a month. I used less than 1 gb data on my phone

 

Seriously, I have the att+directv bundle thing (280 4 lines just for the phone) and its unlimited in all of north america(USA/CAN/and that other place) I can use my tablet with USB tether to laptop or with my phone I can BT tether. Before the unlimited I could wifi tether but only had 25GB.

 

Most of us burn through 1 gig a week on Facebook and this websight.

Others will use more then 1 gig a night watching Netflix.

 

my phone uses my hotspots wifi, just like my laptop is right now and my ps3 and ps4... that's why I use 60-90 gb a month on my hotspot

 

Thanks everyone!
I pay $50 a month for unlimited hotspot (grandfathered). Believe it or not, I haven't upgraded the device since '13. They sent a new device about 2 years ago but I sent it back after they told me that if I switched, I would lose the unlimited. The device still worked well up to about 2 months ago. I also have an unlimited phone plan for $60 a month and a tablet with 1 GB.

I watch a lot of YouTube and Netflix as well as Facebook. I may drop the hotspot and just add another phone if I can't find a good plan. Replacing my current device with a similar device from EBay may work but slower since they haves upgraded the network.

 

my grandfathered plan is 3G only and I do just fine with it and I do youtube and Netflix ALOT, yes I would like to go to 4G but i'm not giving up the plan I have to do it

 

I went into a sprint store today and they tried to con me into getting a tablet to use as a mobile hotspot. He said that it would be $25 a month compared to the $60 that I'm paying for a hotspot. At this point, I'm dont think I want to enter into another contract with Sprint because I'm tired of the dropped calls, the p*ss poor customer service, and the slow internet speeds when I'm home (I'm in the city and I live walking distance to the Sprint store).

 

Unfortunately, you will mostly find wanna-be salemen at the stores. I like my tablet being connected, although I don't use it for a hotspot.

 

Neither sprint nor Verizon has tried to sell me a tablet.

The new phones have Wi-Fi calling now. Helps when you're in poor coverage but have access to somebody's Wi-Fi.
