Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Yet another plan for the road ?
Permalink  

just came across this, and haven't had a chance to REALLY investigate this yet.

 

BUT...  FreedomPop Wireless  seems interesting?

according to the slickdeals website quoted above: 

FreedomPop offers free wireless internet access for up to 500MB each and every month with the purchase of a hotspot.

If you need more, you can easily find 10 Freedom Friends using this not so secret Slickdeals thread where tons of FreedomPop users have left their email address so you can connect, earn, and share. If that’s still not enough, upgrading is another option.

50% of FreedomPop users have opted into larger paid plans or services like Data Rollover

This is a pasted image from my current browser window: Link-here

from freedom-pop

See?  it says

2 GB/$20 month..

 

Questions we need to determine:

which carrier?

how good, how reliable

is it a good idea??  Is it a good backup (emergency) plan if we run out?

 

--- Figured I'd share it since I just found this today... and I still dont know enough..

I followed your links, and I still can't figure out how it works, whether it's viable, or how the company running it makes money.  Waiting with bated breath for your analysis.

500 MB would only last me a couple of days. 2 GB is not much better. My wife and I together use over 10 GB per month. We don't stream movies but my wife does look at a few youtube videos.
