Everything is done over the Internet these days..
I Have a "Straight talk" cheepie contract at WM, with a Samsung S4 which does NOT have hotspot ability on it.
Not really sure what I need, But I do know when Camping some places I go do not have good internet service / WIFI, and I end up driving up my data use.
I think, maybe a dish net? hughsnet? change phone provider and pay more for a hotspot? TV is not the driver, I would like to be able to see the internet and google my next camping experience.
Thank You,
Please advise me.. I can work a hammer,a pipe wrench, & a Oil can Spout. Not this IT stuff...
Not Hughesnet or Dish net. Satellite is more expensive so setup and more difficult to use and the service is substantially slower than service available on a cell phone.
So, cellular service is your best bet as long as you camp where cellular service is available. You may want to add an external cellular antenna as well to help with the service.
Since you have a Straight Talk account you must not use the service much so you might want to pick up the Straight Talk MiFi and use that as necessary. If you will be on the road a lot then getting service with Verizon. You can get a smartphone that you can use as a hotspot as necessary for for an extra $10/month add a MiFi. You will still have to pay for your data usage so be careful to select a plan that will cover your data needs.
