BEST RV UNLIMITED INTERNET Plan

[@andyking4701]

Thanks for the video

[@johnsanford4569]

Great information. Thank you.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChrisClement]

I'm signing up to FMCA. They're asking for the referrers FMCA #. You might add that to your post so you get 'credit' through FMCA. Thanks for the hot tip!!!

[@ChrisClement]

Well - that's a wash. Now fmca is going with AT&T at 12 or 25 Mbps. I should have looked before I signed up. 50bucks down the drain.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Sorry about that - I'll update the notes - we switched to Visible $30 / mo plan and it works on the Verizon network. Ask FMCA for a refund.

[@ralphballtrip2214]

I just hope we didn’t lose a lot of money on that

[@jesserevilla992]

Man, you have lost some weight kid...Truly appreciate your videos. This is so helpful as we're weekenders but still take additional days and work while taking extensive weekends. And now with our 2nd new TT; we are trying to decide since we also have considered the Mofi; I just subscribed to your channel.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

I appreciate that!

[@ryansparrow2554]

So I want to the Fmla site and now it looks like they are switching to AT&T? Are you getting booted off the t mobile plan? Should I just go to t Mobil directly?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

I'd switch to Att for better coverage

[@TruckerSteve]

Confused: @2:18 "I know in the past t-mobile hasn't had the best reputation, but they beat out t-mobile and verizon, were we have been travelling"??? Did you mean beat out Att and Verizon?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Yes - beat out ATT and Verizon

[@selduran7328]

What kind of computer do you have? How many devices can you run?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

We have a few but we run a Mac, Windows surface, our phones and stream TV, and many other small devices connected to our internet.

[@WakeRunSleep]

So this plan "truly" unlimited data plan for $49 a month is cheaper than my GUDP for $160 a month. if true, it seems like a great deal.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

I would verify with FMCA as they have changed providers since the video. If you are paying $160 you should switch to Starlink for RV for $135.

[@kloeesadee1690]

Thank you so much Jim!! Great info!!

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Happy to help. Let me know what Hotspot they send you.

[@tony_r_pierce]

More great info, Jim. Thanks for the video.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Thanks Tony

[@Modfrkt_75]

Thank you for the information. I've been researching the data plans from multiple sources and it makes my head spin. We will traveling full time in a few months, and both work full time so we need a lot of data. I log in to a VPN for my job, not sure if that makes a difference. We also have cell plans through ATT and T Mobile but no separate data plan at this time. I stumbled across this FMCA (which has just switched from t mobile to at&t) plan and am highly considered this plan as long as I know it will work for my 8 hour a day job. We are also looking at the Pepwave modem that allows for multiple sim cards.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Pepwave speedfusion is a life saver when working from the road

[@XBlingMan1]

Thank you got your video. It looks like they are now offering ATT rather than T-Mobile. Their membership plan including their rates went up and the speeds are now capped depending on what you pay for. Great!

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Yes we cancelled FMCA and switched to Starlink and Visible for our data

[@michaelwright1602]

Thank you for posting this! You just saved me $80 a month!

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Glad I could help!

[@davidzimmerman6439]

I have a verizon MIFI hot spot can I use a t moble card in it with this unlimited plan

[@jimgior]

I don't think so, but they send you a new hotspot with the card anyway

[@mmccrownus2406]

So do I need to sign a contract with T-Mobile?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

No Contract required. Please Note this is NOT through T-Mobile. You need to be a member or FMCA (Family Motorcoach Association) and you order though them to get the special deal.

[@davidthies6323]

I have a question. If I sign up for the T-Mobile plan you recommend thru FMCA, I would like to place the SIM card in my Nighthawk M1 1100 Mobile router. However, T-Mobile says that it cannot be used in any other device. Aren’t you doing that? How would T-Mobile know it was not in their hotspot?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

I’m not sure about the Nighthawk I think that is at&t only. I use the sim in a Pepwave modem and it works. They can tell what device it’s put in but it shouldn’t be restricted. Pepwave is authorized by T-Mobile

[@davidthies6323]

Thank you.

[@davidthies6323]

Is it a mini Sim that ATT and T-Mobile put in their hot spots?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

@@davidthies6323 Yes it’s the smallest one. If you put it into the pepwave modem you need an adapter

[@davidthies6323]

Thanks again. I assume that the Pepwave is both a modem and a router, correct?

[@BillWalker3rd]

FWIW I went to FMCA today and membership is being featured at the low price of $60 for just the first year.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Thanks for the updated pricing info.

[@johnbuch5650]

Thanks for the great info. Just want to know if you or anyone you know ever used the Winegard 2.0 for their wifi and cell boost needs? Our Thor RV we just bought came with one but we have not set it up yet. Thanks again, John Buch

[@RVIntoRetirement]

I have not used wineguard but I've read less than favorable comments about them

[@BobCollins42]

I know that moving the SIM card from the hotspot to another device is not "acceptable" to T-Mobile. I have also heard that moving the SIM can sometimes require coordination with the carrier. I assume you haven't had any issues. Are you aware of anyone else having problems with this skirting of T-Mobile's regulations?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

I have not heard of TMobile not allowing it in fact I game them the IMEI number of the pepwave. Going on 2 years now

[@BobCollins42]

@@RVIntoRetirement Great to hear. That is not their public stance. I was just at a TMO store this week. The fact that they (TMO) sell 100 GB on their hotspot for $50 and 50 GB as a loose SIM, not to mention unlimited data on my phone for $35, tells us that they are not above playing games with data-to-device tie-ins. In a related story, I just watch a video where someone bought a VZ SIM for iPad plan and is successfully running the SIM in a 4G router like yours.

[@WakeRunSleep]

This is actually cheaper than my home internet plan at $79. how is this possible?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Not sure how they price it compared your home other that it's though a group discount with FMCA

[@RVIntoRetirement]

When I refer to Modems I should say Hotspot. The Pepwave is a cellular modem, what T-Mobile sends is a hotspot. They sent us a MiFi not sure what they are sending nowadays. Also I’ve been told FMCA has increased the membership price to $60 per year.

[@slycollins6029]

what is the fmca website

[@RVIntoRetirement]

@@slycollins6029 www.FMCA.com

[@soccerdad27295]

I got the FMCA Connect+ (which now is a TMobile SIM) and the new Pepwave Transit Duo (which is 5G capable), question is do I have to use the SIM in the Hotspot they sent first or can I go straight to the Pepwave and start setup?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

@@soccerdad27295 That’s a great question. I used it in the hotspot they sent first to make sure it activated

[@ralphbarry6576]

@@soccerdad27295 did this work? Could you use the sim card in the pep wave modem? After activation on the device they send, you could swap it out and the pep wave worked?

[@campersteve5365]

What is the modem you receive for $39.99

[@RVIntoRetirement]

It’s actually a hotspot - MiFi is what they sent me but you should check and see if it’s updated

[@zaranovian]

We are trying to figure out the best scenario for us. We both work remotely and while at home, use approximately 580GB monthly between Zoom meetings, working remotely in general, KZbinTV, etc. Of course at home we have 1.25TB so we never go over but we'd like to take our work on the road a couple months at a time but can't figure out the most reliable way. What do you do if there's no Tmobile service? Any, when it says 1 device per $49.99, is that 1 laptop or 1 TV, etc.? Thank you!

[@RVIntoRetirement]

We use a Pepwave cellular modem that can hold multiple SIM cards and provides us with the speeds we need on the road. We talk about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iabIiaKkr5tjmZo At one point we were using 3 different carriers in the Pepwave modem (ATT, Verizon & TMobile) TMobile was the only plan that had real unlimited data. One device mean they will send you one hotspot and you can connect multiple devices to the hotspot. We didn't find the hotspot acceptable for work purposes which is why we took the sim card out of it and put it in the Pepwave Modem.

[@matsulli2086]

I don't think we are super users. Just looking for low cost data for streaming movies, email and internet. Would the TMobile work?

[@RVIntoRetirement]

It works for us and we use it pretty heavy you should have no problem

[@annakifer4937]

This video and the one on the Pepwave was super helpful! Question for you - do y'all use a secondary SIM at all or just the one from FMCA? I will need very reliable internet for my work while on the road and wonder if I should use AT&T or Verizon as a backup SIM. Do you think I need that? Also, which would you recommend if so - I think you mentioned you've had better luck with AT&T? Thank you for your response in advance!

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Thank you for your comments. We do use another sim along with T-Mobile and that is the 100Gb plan from Verizon. If you are already a verify customer it’s $60 month or $80 for 150Gb. We hat Att in the past and dropped them - we did a video about why.

Is your wife’s job hiring? My wife is looking for a remote job.. degree in sociology

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Not for remote... it's a position that she's been in for years and with Covid was able to extend being remote until she retires in May

[@Camptheuniverse]

@@RVIntoRetirement sweet! Well i loved the videos on your channel!

[@kenwing6196]

Irrelevant video now. No new members.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

They are not taking new members at this time because they have to switch out all the old Sprint hotspots/sim cards. It should return in the future.

[@samuelstringer2149]

I just went to the FMCA site to learn about Tech Connect and the following blue banner was sprawled across the top of the page. "At this time we will not be accepting new signups for the FMCA Tech Connect+ benefit, please check back in the future." You might want to update your information.

[@RVIntoRetirement]

Currently they are switching out all the users that have the older Sprint hotspot and sim card as that will be shutting down - check back frequently to see when it opens up to new members again.
