The last post on an older thread about this company was by Jack Mayer in 2011. The technology and service changes rather frequently in this field. I'm wondering if there are any more recent thoughts/opinions out there?

They use Sprint's network, therefore, for us, it would not be an option. Nationally, geographically, Verizon simply covers more ground. They roam on Sprint's roaming partner network, including Verizon, but many roaming partner agreements do not include data. Most smaller cellular companies do just fine their local areas, but not so much outside those areas.
It's all about coverage, and from looking at a few "discussions" on their website about coverage, they probably wouldn't meet the needs of most full-timers.

The lack of data while"roaming" definitely would a be serious limitation for FTing. We currently use VZ cellular/mobile data share plan and like their service but loyalty is something I have begun to question when other operators can offer the same service without noticable difference for a fraction of the price especially when we are still in a S&B for another 5 years. We are also looking at the Straight-Talk deal also.
Just looking at all options. Thanks Howard, for the feedback.

I just bought a Straight Talk Portable Hot Spot for $79.99. I am trying the 2GB for $25.00; it works with a phone # and I can use my old 4" tablet on the go. Seems to work better than the WIFI that the RV park offers and shows a good Coverage area. I use the parks then when it goes haywire i switch to the Hotspot.

Would that include flying RV's ala "the jetsons"??
Seriously, just looking into ways to slash current expenses. More money saved now=less debt or more reserves or more RV later.
