Well to begin with my Mobley with unlimited data and streaming at 4G LTE is only 23.00 a month and with an adapter I can use it anywhere besides in the truck where I can plug it into a small portable inverter or the OBI port in the truck or into cigarette type power port. So far Mobley has been a powerful and reliable modem hot spot. Additionally, I carry small tablet and laptop on frequent fish/camping trips to California coast and Sacramento River delta.
Since I am not a chatter/gab box I have AT&T prepaid for only a dollar a day and only on the days I actually use the phone to receive or make calls. I have unlimited talk all day long for only $1.00 a day plus text receive and send. Also can send/receive Voic Mail. The Mobley is excellent backup if my home spectrum internet is not functioning and that has never occurred in last 7 or 8 years since I have had it.
Additionally, thru out Reno and on the road to most anywhere I have excellent access to free Wi Fi at hundreds of locations with no sign in required. Both my At&T phone and Mobley receive excellent cellular signal even in the remote locations I frequently visit such as distant beaches at giant Pyramid Lake Indian reservation. All is good and life is good. Cheers from a cheap Charlie
