Just announced today Tmobile changing home internet and making traveler plan and will now coat 160.00 to use it on the go. Tmobile press release says. Beaware.
@@MikeThaPhilosopher the rep I spoke to was cool he didn’t see a issue with it. He said as long as I can get connection it’s fine. Picking it up from home next week
@@jwfuturestar2663how does it work? I just ordered one today. They tried charging me 160 but I just kept insisting on the $50 home plan instead. She said it might not work everywhere but I said I’ll take a chance on it first then upgrade if needed. But lmk how it worked out if you have a chance
Update?! I have Verizon hotspot. It works well but just like any mobile carrier, a week before the bill is due it’s either slowed drastically or all data is used up. Don’t like how I’m paying for unlimited data, but the data is limited 150 GB. I am locked into a contract which goes on my credit. So now I’m looking to switch.
So I just got mine in the mail today. It does say that it is intended for use in a fixed location and that using it in other locations other than the eligible address is not permitted. Has there been any issues for you recently?
@@CoachDusty ah ok that makes sense. I assume if you keep it plugged in while driving will make it more likely for T-Mobile to lock the device because it's actively disconnecting and reconnecting to different towers often
This might simplify the quest. Does this wifi work while driving down the road so a 2nd driver can watch tv? I did see your plug in for the wifi. Thanks again
@@jimhays1896 thx. But the other guy said it's against the terms of service. Question might be can the wifi tell its moving down the road or do you have anymore thoughts on this.
@@MS-oz2wu they need a billing address within their area where they have 5g coverage. Other than that, motor on. Before TMobile I had Verizon home 5g/unlimited for $60 a month/no limits/no throttle
Does it work like a phone where hops signal from one tower to another, as my kids use my phone hotspot for gaming on the road while driving. does it only work while park?
So, curious i keep seing people say that t-mobile is making it so that this dosnt work like that anymore but i agree with you as far as to unplugin it while your driving. Does it still work for you today?
@@RichardsWorld yes, because of satellite positioning and whatnot but it should still have a “supposed” set amount of downloading speeds. No? Even so, ill be running North East Region in my Semi Truck so that shouldn’t be a problem. Im just checking after time has passed if its still working for you. Thanks
@@xxghost_powersxx5680 it's going through cell phone towers. It'sike travelling around with a cell phone. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes you don't even have a signal. If you go in the desert or National park you might have zero signal on your phone, and this home Internet device is using T-Mobile's cellular towers.
Yo dusty your names Daniel right? I got your number in Dallas we ran into each other on the yard and at Luna that night you were going to Walmart to grab a laptop for gaming if I remember can I hit you up with a few questions I’m finishing up my 240
This is dead in the water now.
T-Mobile seemingly despises people who live on the road.
Thanks for the information 👍🏼. Im a recent graduate, and i am about to go solo otr. Good to know. Drive safe.
Tried to purchase one but t-mobile said it’s now geo-locked to your home address or whatever address you put.

Is it still worth it?
I feel like you can still get away with it if you don’t tell them anything

@@jwfuturestar2663 thank you for this response man I was was contemplating

The fee went up from 50.00 but still reasonable.
I’m on the phone with T-Mobile right now getting the 5G home internet. They said it’s frowned upon to use OTR. Does yours still work? Can you confirm?

I have same exact thing about to buy out this shitty company
I looked online to see if I could get a device, but says it’s not available in my area. Any recommendations I could provide them to be issued one?
Go to a T-Mobile store and get it there
@@CoachDustythey told me the same thing when i was there
is there a way to hook an external antenna to it like we have for the CB's? Maybe to help improve connectivity
how much mobility do you have on your wrist ?
I’ve fully recovered from my scaphoid surgery
Hey man does this still work? I’m seeing these negative comments in the comment section
Thanks for the info on terms of service.
Do they have a prepaid option? Or do you have to sign a contract?
Auto pay no contract. Activation fee $30 $55/m payment
I pay $40 a month with auto pay option. They sent me the newer model. I put it behind my microwave and works well
Whats it like now bro?@jimhays1896
So you can use this at home instead of having a home wifi service, too, also, correct? Then take it with you on the road, correct?
Yeah it plugs into an outlet I wouldn’t keep it running when driving though
@@CoachDusty what does it plug into? Is it 12v or 110v ?
So the 2nd driver can't use it while in the sleeper to watch tv?
Thx 4 the response.

No issues I just don’t keep it plugged in when I’m driving
@@CoachDusty ah ok that makes sense. I assume if you keep it plugged in while driving will make it more likely for T-Mobile to lock the device because it's actively disconnecting and reconnecting to different towers often
That’s what I think
Is this powered by 12v plug in to lighter or what?
No a regular outlet
It used to be 30,40,50
Sheesh
Hey thank you! Just want to know if your wifi is still workout for you because im looking into getting one?
Can you get Wi-Fi will driving down the road so 2nd driver can watch tv?
Yes
I’m OTR is it good enough for my ps5 online gaming
Yeah it’s really good
This might simplify the quest. Does this wifi work while driving down the road so a 2nd driver can watch tv?
I did see your plug in for the wifi.
Thanks again
It does but it’s against the terms of service it’s supposed to be stationary. I would just use phone hotspot when trucks in motion
Yes. I have a T-Mobile phone, so this is just an additional $40 with auto pay. Works well, I do 130,000 miles + a year

@jimhays1896 what company u work for bro?
Did u end up getting the internet?
Does it work like a phone where hops signal from one tower to another, as my kids use my phone hotspot for gaming on the road while driving. does it only work while park?
It does jump signal tower to tower but it’s meant to stay in place. I disconnect it when driving.
So, curious i keep seing people say that t-mobile is making it so that this dosnt work like that anymore but i agree with you as far as to unplugin it while your driving. Does it still work for you today?
Yes
@@CoachDusty very well then🤣 ima get me one and use it till it dont work then ill just give it back to em, thanks
Good information. Keep up the good work 😊
You don’t have to plug it into like a landline port to get service?
No that’s the best part
@@CoachDustyok definitely getting one now. Getting my truck in 2 weeks I’m so stoked thanks for everything dear one🌷
Glad I could help
Now it is $40 , 50 , 60
So basically where there’s a T-Mobile tower you get good results?
Yes
@@CoachDusty yeah I tried to get one today but apparently it’s not available in the Dallas/Fort Worth area yet ☹️
@hubhub27 I got it in Dallas I would try a different store location
@@CoachDusty 10 4, I’ll shop around. Thanks for the info.
Do you have to activate it at home first or in the truck?
Obviously at Home U DrUM🥁 ASkS
Where do you buy a box
Idk maybe a T-Mobile store?
🤭
What is the speed of the internet
is this still available? thanks for the video.
How many times you’ve been in the ditch or ran into another truck?
Trying my best to keep that number at 0 🤣
Appreciate this video. Thank you. What is your download speed when semi rural? Are you truly unlimited on data or are you capped? Thx
Download speed isn’t great but what matters most is your ping/latency to server host. Ranges from 20-90 depending on area. Unlimited yes.
@@CoachDusty🌴☀️ thanks darling…female driver here ☀️🌴
@QueenBaha good luck 👍
What are your downloading speeds looking like?
You know it's going to change every time you move right?
@@RichardsWorld yes, because of satellite positioning and whatnot but it should still have a “supposed” set amount of downloading speeds. No? Even so, ill be running North East Region in my Semi Truck so that shouldn’t be a problem. Im just checking after time has passed if its still working for you. Thanks

My ping/latency is all depending on how close I am to a big city/5G tower. Ranges from 30-100 not sure about download
Is I unlimited data or fixed amount
It’s a still a hot spot not matter how you look at it.
Thin crust pizza >>>
That’s not true you can not used that device traveling states .
That's what I was thinking
What's the name of the device (this device right here?)???
T-Mobile home internet
Where can I buy it
@@veillardwilnord9650🤭

Team Mobil will charge you in ROAMING !

You're using the gateway outside of Tmobiles terms of agreement. Don't be surprised if one day they can el your service.
