HSVBamaBob Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Just saw this on a Mac Site. Probably not cheap enough for streaming Netflix <G> But at least makes checking email and short FaceTime chats affordable! http://www.macrumors.com/2015/12/11/short-term-data-ipad-apple-sim/ Bob & Anne-Marie Williams | 2017 Berkshire XLT 43A with Ultrasteer Tag | Blue Ox Avail + KarGard II || SMI AF-1 Air Brake | 2016 Jeep Cherokee Overland TOAD | Pedego bikes | | Nights Camped: 2013 - 24 • 2014 - 42 • 2015 - 56 • Jul 2016 - Fulltime | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Finally found some info for alwaysonline service in Canada. Highly suspicious they're selling pie-in-the-sky with their coverage map. They don't say which local providers they're pairing with, but the coverage is pure BS. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

Technomadia Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 With T-Mobile offering free international roaming and full speed data with their 'Mobile Without Borders', Verizon introducing 'Travel Pass' that allows you to use your plan like you're at home for just $2/day... services like these are likely to be less needed. Heck, you can pick up a $35 tablet T-Mobile plan with 6GB of tetherable high speed data and use it in Canada, and get better service than on any one of the local carriers. Pretty good deal, and when back home in the US, you can get unlimited video streaming when in T-Mobile native coverage. Lots of great stuff happening with international roaming, here's a summary of the stories we've tracked in the past few months: International News Stories - Cherie Cherie & Chris (and Kiki *meow*) / Personal Blog: Technomadia.com Technomads (technology enabled nomads) since 2006Our Nomadic Fleet: RVs: Zephyr: 1961 GM 4106 bus conversion / Blooper: 2020.5 Winnebago Travato GL Boat: Y-Not: 1999 Bayliner 4788 Hosts of the Mobile Internet Resource CenterMobile Internet Information for RVers, Cruisers & Nomads Proud to be recognized as Escapee's Commercial Partners #773 / Escapees RVOU Instructors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSVBamaBob Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Cherie, Thanks for the update! This is great news from Verizon, since we are planning to transit Canada to Alaska in a couple of years. Shoot, by 2018 , competition may have driven the $2/day per device to a flat rate of $2/day for the account. T-Mobile (AKA Deutsche Telekom) has always had crazy-good data plans. When we lived in Germany, we paid for voice minutes but unlimited data was always free. They had so many free (to T-mobile users) WiFi hotspots all over Germany that it was pretty easy to find high speed internet anywhere you went. Sure wish this was the case in the USA!
