New FMCA/Verizon Unlimited Data Plan

Well I just sent FMCA an email requesting a refund of my recently paid dues. I let them know the reason I was cancelling was their handling of the entire Verizon fiasco. We'll see what happens....

Well then.....glad I didn't sign back up for FMCA! I mean I would have if this had panned out..Oh well!

If you build it, they will come.

Just call me Carnac the Magnificent. No real surprise.

As you may have heard, FMCA had been working with Verizon to offer a special rate on an unlimited wireless data plan. After the “soft launch” of this plan to a test group of FMCA members (before the planned launch to all members), Verizon called FMCA and pulled the offering. Verizon officials indicated that they will not be honoring any of the orders that had been entered during this test period. We are still working to see whether FMCA and Verizon can put together an advantageous plan for FMCA members, but at this point we are not certain what will result from discussions with Verizon officials.

Well that didn't take long, FMCA just posted on their website that Verizon has cancelled the program and will NOT be honoring ANY of the signups.

First they will need an "F" number. That means they will have to plunk out $60 for membership

No worries. Let's just say the plans costs $48.99/month or $43.99 plus the extra $5/month for membership. Folks are already posting that they signed up with FMCA without owning an RV (but plan to!). If you don't think everyone on every forum that works to find ways to get good mobile internet service is going to sign up you are sorely mistaken. FMCA is about to become rich! The only question is whether Verizon will end up pulling the plug like they did when OmniLynx offered the "private plan" to the general public.

Well, live-streaming works. As does live streaming with 2 blanks.

not sure what your asking

anything you do with your current Jetpac you should be able to do with the FMCA plan

If you are referring to my post live-streaming on my current Jetpack does not work and I understand it's a Verizon limit. But maybe it's OK on the FMCA plan which is why I asked.

Smartphone text and data is not supported on the FMCA plan so that is one very clear difference.

anything you do with your current Jetpac you should be able to do with the FMCA plan
