Maybe for small children? Having trouble finding use for this as well. I can’t think of anything I’d need to do that my phone couldn’t.Other than running my laptop, what do you folks do with this service?
I added it about 2 weeks ago at that price. It’s great for the kids. I named the truck WiFi connection & password the same as at the house so everyone’s devices “just work”. But what I’ve really found to be great is that I would usually lose service at a couple specific places on the way to work and back. Not with the hotspot service. The external truck antenna(s) must get better cellular reception than my phone inside the truck because I haven’t lost service once since having it. I have WiFi calling enabled on my phone so everything works nicely. It also enables everyone in the truck to download things that require a WiFi connection.
If you have a lot of dropped calls, you should try it for that. Obviously that will depend on the coverage in your area, but for me it patched all the dead spots.
I might have to sign up.... I have a wifi enable dash cam that usually only uploads to the cloud when at my house or work. This way it would be uploading all the time and I could use the 'live feature' anywhere anytime. Nice.
I did see it stated US and Canada (where available)I wonder if this is available for those of us north of the border? we usually get screwed up here on a lot of deals like this
While there may be a SIM somewhere, it isn’t user accessible. The service is activated by VIN when you sign up. They don’t send you a SIM. You just sign up with your VIN and it starts working.Silly question, where does the SIM go.
Ahhh. Good point. I guess at least it'll save it to the cloud while driving instead waiting to upload at home or work. Also, if someone steals it I can track them through the camera.... it'll be a live feed of sorts.I believe the ACC (minimally) must be on for the wifi to work.
