Several newbie questions

But I gotta buy a DVD player, right? ☺ i'm on it.

 

Get a laptop that can play dvds

 

Duh. I actually have one of those! Thank you for the reminder!

 

Since you're already accustomed to Amazon prime you can download movies and tv shows you purchase there then watch them on the road. They don't allow you to download the free ones included with prime but anything you purchase you're allowed to download twice. Get however many you need while you're home.

Also the major truck stops charge for wifi but several state rest areas and many small truck stops provide free wifi so when you're on your own start searching out truck stops other than the major chains and if you find one with free wifi write it down in your notebook so you know the next time you're in the area. Last night was the only night this week I didn't have free wifi because I slept at the receiver

 

Awesome. I do have Amazon Prime. I own a bunch of movies, too. I'll go check right now about downloading them. I don't think I've downloaded any yet.

 

I don't know how exactly to do it, I generally only watch the free ones but I did read about somewhere on my prime account

 

Yeah, you can only download them to a tablet, though. I've been trying to choose between my tablet and my laptop. Looks like I will have to take both.

 

Your biggest concern as a newbie is "How do I entertain myself on the cheap"? God help us all.

 

What were you concerned about when you decided to move into a truck? I don't drink or smoke...

 

I have a vey cheap pre-paid phone, and I do not get charged for roaming. In fact, I was under the impression that roaming charges no longer exist..???

When I have Verizon cell phone service, I was never charged for roaming there either.

SO if Sprint does charge roaming fee's, perhaps seek out another carrier.???
