Unlimited wifi no contract and what happened to mobley?

[joebedford]

So I'm thinking about my upcoming 5 months snowbirding and figured I'd better get my mobley before I go. What I've found is "out of stock"; $599 and $799 plus very limited data at AT&T.

What the?

Anyway, what's the current wisdom?

I'd also be willing to consider a contract if I can suspend for 7 months of the year for a reasonable price.

PS: I have 4G+LTE built into my Silverado but the Canadian data plan is very expensive (and they won't let me register for the US data plan).

yes and total different deal than the obd2 connection that AT+T had offered for 20$ up until about 4 weeks ago

OnStar also has a $20 unlimited plan but it's a contract plan. Also, as I said earlier in this thread, it's not available to Canadians.

As of 10/9/2017 AT&T dropped the $20 Unlimited Plan

I guess you have a factual source for that, all I know is what I read on the Internet...

This site is still advertising it https://myvehicle.att.com/#/ford/learn. It's at the bottom in the same fine print for the USA only unlimited for $20 with an external device.

Hard to know what source to believe 🙂

That is for FORD's Sync 3 system and not the Mobley. That plan is sponsored by FORD with AT&T as the carrier. It's a lot different than AT&T's own Mobley plan. If you don't believe me call the Connected Car people NOW and see what they tell you about the AT&T MOBLEY $20 Unlimited stand alone connected car plan.

While the Mobley may be available, the $20 Connected Car Unlimited stand alone plan is not available. You now have to tie into another AT&T plan costing many $$$ more.

The connected car plan is still available. Purchase the mobley outright and then call to setup. Ask to be connected to the connected car representative and you can still get the stand alone plan after confirming mobley purchase.

You need to try again, the $20 Unlimited plan is no longer available from AT&T through the Connected Car Program, it is now a $60 plan limited to 6 GB.

I don't have to try again. I called on 10/4 and activated my Mobley with the $20 unlimited plan. It is not on the website and probably the chat people don't know but if you work through their system it is still available. My local ATT company store told me they didn't even know there was such a thing as connected car or Mobley. It must be a product they don't push since it doesn't produce much revenue but it was still there on 10/4 through the connected car center.

As of 10/9/2017 AT&T dropped the $20 Unlimited Plan, so try again NOW!!

Unlimited Internet "to the phone" really does me no good. I need internet on my computer and that's not a part of the plan.

What happened to your provider I don't know but I'm with T-Mobile

New 55+ plan, you must be at least 55 years of age to subscribe

Less than 100/month 2 lines Unlimited internet if delivered to the phone, Unlimited talk and text... 10 Gigs high speed and unlimited throttled for hot spotting.

"Less than 100/month.....etc."

All depends on what you want/need.

Started out with T-mobile many years ago. Would use about 5 minutes
of my allotted minutes per month. For me- - handy when I needed it, but sure didn't use it much!!

So - Have had two Tracfones for years - (for DW & self) each with over 5K minutes on 'em. Purchasing the 1 year (w/roll-over) plans for each equates to just under $9. per month for each.
(Yeah, they both have "rolled-over" a lot).
Never had any connection glitches in the US.

The Mobley is/was an alternate to high cost of internet service at my sticks and bricks - and of course - easy to take along in the RV.

Have a GM vehicle with On-Star. Don't subscribe to any of the features (like internet), as it's tough to get the vehicle inside the house - or close enough to do any good.
(Sirius XM at $5. per month is OK, however).

Different strokes for different folks.....roll on!
