I have old Franklin modem, sold to me by Calix institute for $500 with 1 year unlimited service. It was operated by Sprint, even I did not have Sprint account and it worked in the areas where cellphones not always worked. But now, I need a modem for summer only and don't want to pay $500 for full year. Sprint doesn't seem to support my old modem, so I am facing $120 + for new modem and min $30/month. Still did not check if they will force me into long contract. Anybody has better deal available today?

Thanks. All plans seem to be tied up to Motorcoach association., I own Truck Camper.

For the past year, FMCA is just that - "FMCA". They now accept ALL RV owners as members. It's not about what you drive, it's about the fun of RVing and the fellowship. If anyone says they only accept motorhome owners, they're lying to you. I think the requirement for membership is that the RV must have a fixed toilet to qualify. FMCA is the only RV club that's a non-profit operated for the benefit of its members. None of the others can say that. The cost of membership includes repatriation insurance and entitles you to several other benefits - like mobile data plans.

This might not work for you, but here's what I do.I have an iPad pro 12.9 with cellular. ATT has a pay-as-you-go plan for $35, 30 days unlimited. It can also be used as a hotspot for other devices. We're never out for more than 30 days, so it works perfect for us. Almost everything I watch is on the iPad anyway, but I can stream to a TV if I want to.So the $35 a month unlimited is great, but the cost of entry (cellular iPad) is prohibitive unless you need/want an iPad.

Alot depends on where you seasonally use Wi-Fi..When I was doing that.. I went with Virgin Mobile.. usually I'd get 20 dollars worth a month.. BUT VM uses the SPRINT network which at time was bragging about how their "In-Network" reliability was within 1% of Verizon. what they did not tell you was their NETWORK was not much more than 1% of Verizon so odds are you'd be "out of network".Today.. As I understand it. Sprint has been sold to another provider with a much better network.. BUT.. There is a reason I'm not naming that provider.. (I'm not sure it has in fact been sold) Hoping to have an excuse to chat with provider rep soon on that but the motive is simply not there at present.One of the fun things is I could walk into say a LOVE's Truck stop and ask for a "Twenty Dollar Virgin" (Pre-paid card).
