WiFi - internet while RVing?

Finding a place with no internet or phone is some peoples goal.

We have been using the Verizon Mifi or Jetpack for 2 years. Works great just about everywhere. Macktee

"Smart" phones and tablets can use the internet via cell phone towers. You need a contract with a cell phone provider and, of course, cell phone service can be pretty spotty in remote areas.

We use Hughes Net. It's initial expense is high and speeds leave some to be desired, but in the conditions you describe, it's one of the only ways that work. For those on major roads Verizon is OK, but get 30 miles of I-10 in west Texas, or off major routes in the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, and MANY other places there's just nothing else. We go to Alaska every other year and 10 miles out of town up there you're usually out of everything. Only problem with Hughes is that they tell me their Gen4 doesn't work for a mobile setup, and what satellite you're on makes a big difference.

We found Hughes assigned satellites by your billing zip code and an east coast satellite for an Alaska trip just would not work. We buy our service from Mobile Satellite Technologies, a Hughes reseller, but I don't pay any more for it and I'm on 127W which is the only usable satellite when in Alaska.

If you can pick up a cell signal then you would be able to use one of the cellphone based internet services. Either using a cellphone or an aircard to access the cellphone network.

Otherwise you would need to use a satellite based internet service. Hughesnet, Dishnet, Echonet...etc.

X 2 on the Verizon MiFi device. It's worked for me in some really remote places. But the mountains of CO I don't know.

Pick up a copy of the book THE MOBILE INTERNET HANDBOOK by Chris Dunphy & Cherie Ve Ard.

Trick question. There would never be any wifi out in the boonies.

You can try getting a MiFi from Millenicom

We're in mountains all the time and used a Verizon air card and now Verizon's Jetpack. Rarely have no service nowdays.
