Yes, but my Verizon 5 gig plan cost me 3 times as much as the att.To each their own, but don't almost all smartphones have a hotspot option and don't most people have unlimited data these days?

free for a few monthsAren't you paying for the hotspot?
Feel like I'm missing out here lol.
Yeah, I still have the three month trial I haven't activated yet. Might have to test it out on the next trip.free for a few months

Is it truly unlimited, or unlimited until a cap and then throttled?My AT&T trial just ran out so I called and took the unlimited data plan for 200/yr (16/mo). Worked fine during the 90 day trial. Especially liked that I could use Alexa and play my playlists. Way cheaper than my Verizon plan which charges me $15 for 1 gig if I exceed my 10 gig per family plan. Plus just found out that if you take the AT&T unlimited plan you get free HBO, Cartoon Network, TBS, TNT and CNN free of charge while using the Ram's wifi. Since I don't have HBO that might be nice. Probably would be great for kids in the backseat.
With kids in the back... that one gig freebie was not going to last long.Enabled hotspot for a little road trip recently. Kids were complaining that it was slow. Before the fuel gauge even got close to half it stopped working and I had an email that the trial 1gb (or was it 2?) was all used up. Couldn’t have been that slow.
ATT doesn't deprioritize anywhere near as bad as tmobile or Verizon. On Verizon you may as well just not have service at all.Is it truly unlimited, or unlimited until a cap and then throttled?
*edit
Found it, I think. Looks like 22GB and then network deprioritization.
Nice. My main use for the ATT line would be having a backup in remote areas, so shouldn't see much, if any, congestion.ATT doesn't deprioritize anywhere near as bad as tmobile or Verizon. On Verizon you may as well just not have service at all.
On ATT the only place you'll have trouble is under extreme congestion in a very popular area like a theme park.
AT&T hotspots on car connected plans are on the AT&T network, but on the side on another domain.ATT doesn't deprioritize anywhere near as bad as tmobile or Verizon. On Verizon you may as well just not have service at all.

We're talking about when you go over your "limit". For ATT and Verizon its usually 20-22gb. Verizon and Tmobile slow you to nothing regardless of congestion once you hit the cap.AT&T hotspots on car connected plans are on the AT&T network, but on the side on another domain.
Used to be a part of jasper.com, but the again CISCO bought them out Back a while, they were on the same domain as Cricket Wireless (AT&T) owned.
do an "www.ip2location.com" while connected to your hotspot and i bet the domain is NOT att.com (although managed by AT&T)
Verizon deprioritization depends on what domain you're parked on. My cell phone is on the domain
verizonenterprise.com, so somehow, some prepaid accounts traffic are routed there. I have never noticed a slowdown there. Of course, coverage is coverage, and depends on a lot of factors at any given time.
Thanks. I think mine showed that kind of usage status during the trial period, but it doesn't now.
I just got a call from the AT&T Customer Service Rep asking for my credentials again. I asked if other people are having the same problem and he said, "Yes." Some of them gave their credentials and some did not. I guess mine will get fixed when they figure out what is wrong with the others.Thanks.
