T-Mobile Unlimited Hotspot

We're going to be taking a month long trip very soon and I'll be working from the road. After a lot of searching, I signed up for the T-Mobile One Plus International plan, which includes unlimited LTE (including hotspot).


I bought the cheapest phone I could and will be paying $95/mo for the plan. I am aware that T-Mobile doesn't have the best coverage, but between that and our Verizon phones (with limited data), I think most holes will be filled while driving.


I just wanted to share and to see if anyone else has used this setup.

Just as an FYI, if you are over 55, T-mobile has an excellent unlimited plan. Details here: http://duckduckgo.com/y.js?u3=https%...52190574875974

We have the T Mobile 55+ plan with the One Plus International plan on the wife's phone, she calls Korea a lot. That and the AT&T Mobley sim card in a Netgear mifi has us well covered. We also can make phone calls through the Mobley via wifi.

We have exact same save for the international plan.

T Mobile coverage is good in populated areas. Sketchy elsewhere.

I had the T-Mobile service last year for two months we were back! Spotty service is pretty forth giving! This was the service in front of Rockefeller Plaza, downtown New York! 0 bars! It worked good some places, other places, nothing! Glad I also had the Verizon Jetpack! Just my experience, from Illinois In. Ky.,on to the east coast, NJ,NY City, upstate NY, and back along the Lakes, back to Illinois! Rail!

Thanks for all the feedback. Hopefully between the 2 plans, we'll have coverage along most of the larger roads since.
