AT&T ZTE Mobley - *NO* grief - availability & sign-up! FYI
Read thru the various ZTE Mobley threads regarding the $20. per month unlimited data plan.
See: "AT&T Unlimited LTE Hotspot Without AT&T Phones", by lexi51
("lexidog" has a similar thread running on the Escapees "Internet Access On The Road" - forum.)
BTW - Thanks to "lexi51 for starting the thread/s!
Looks/sounds great! - but posters here and elsewhere were indicating problems finding the device *AND* sometimes major problems signing up for the plan..:(
Preferred to see if I could locate a device at any of the Best Buy stores in my area (So. CA) - before mail-ordering.
Local Best Buy indicated they had three.
Went to BB on Sunday, 4-9.
Bought the device (outright, not 2 yr contract).
Young guy not too 'tuned in' to how to sign up - and he *thought* it
had to be done at an AT&T store.
OK with that - but figured here comes the battle to accomplish the sign-up part.
Today, Monday 4-10, went to the AT&T store. Guy helping me had never heard of the: "Connected Car Stand alone Unlimited Data Plan" at $20 per month"- even asked one of his associates if he had done a sign-up. (No help).
Hoooo boy! - Here we go!..:R
When he was scrolling thru the plans, I mentioned (what I had read) that the plan is "down at the bottom")
But - he got busy on his tablet - I figured we might hit a glitch when he had me enter my SS# - as I have credit freezes at the credit bureaus. No problem...about 10 minutes total and he had it done.
His comment: "This is really a good deal - I want one!"
Verified the plan, cost, and a one-time set-up fee of $25.
He offered to take it out to my vehicle and check it out.
Sure - why not (I didn't volunteer I would be using a 110v connection, LOL)
He walked out to my SUV, plugged it into the OBD2 port, and bingo, up and running.
So - (now) head back to those other threads for more Q and A info, "refinements" and "tweaks" for your particular use...:C
