Mobile internet

Hi All, We are new to the part time Rving thing, we used to be just weekenders and as of this year can now get away for a whole 2 months. Yay for us!
Anyhow, our current Provider Bell does not offer a great plan for us to travel to the U.S. for 2 months and so I am looking for something that offer unlimited if that exists? We don't watch alot of TV but we do download a ton.

Any suggestions?

  • I have a Verizon pre-paid mobile internet device that I bought outright and add time/data to when needed. It's $60 for 5 GB over a 2 month period. I can add less, as low as $15 for one week, or as much as $90 for more GB. I forget how many comes with the $90.

    Unlimited data? No.

    Google might be your friend on this one. Plans change frequently. Verizon has the best coverage. That's really what you're paying for- something that works when you need it to.
  • Straight Talk wireless from Walmart can be bought month to month and can provide unlimited phone 5 and 10 GB data plans. Not sure if they are compatible to your existing phone but getting a compatible phone is not that expensive, especially if you do not mind a used phone to use for two months.
  • None that you can aford. Verizon has the best overall coverage, but unlimited? Not going to happen for less than 5-6 hundred a month. You would be far better off with one of the US satelite providers and a pay as you go phone plan from places like WalMart.
