    I did last night Mark. I was also looking if you could use more than one device too. $99 is a pretty good deal for a year of wifi.

    What if you’re parked in the back of the lot? In the past I couldn’t ever pick up their signal.

    It all depends. But like I said. Lots of times not being able to have a strong signal is a shortcoming of the device or laptop more than the wifi infrastructure. They generally try and cover the entire lot, even the back row, but obviously the closer you can be to a wifi repeater, the better ( white plastic thing mounted on a pole)

    I was at the J in Houston, perfect line of sight to the building etc. No internet for 2 days, call Wandering WiFi and spend 35 minutes on the phone with this fella who by the way was a nice enough guy. After going over the usual " are you parked beside a reefer?, is there a white truck in the parking lot?, is there a dog taking a dump?, he gives up and says nothing he can do. LOL, it like magic tho' how you can get the whole login/payment page and as soon as you click "confirm", you're hooped. You spend the rest of your time trying to get a page to load.
    Wandering WiFi is like their name suggests, wanders everywhere except where you need it.

    Don't waste your money. Just get Verizon unlimited data.
