CHEAP Unlimited Internet for your Van/RV/Tiny Home or even small Apartment | 2023 | $25/Month

** 2023 UPDATE: I have still been receiving confirmations that this solution still works. Here are what others are saying in the comments BELOW vvvvvvvv
~ Fellow views have said they are being limited to 5mbps now by Visible. You can always use other carriers SIM cards with this solution. The Visible option just happened to be the cheapest and have the best coverage at the time. We still use on occasion with our spare T-mobile card
~~ Sometimes is seems the link to the dcunlocker webpage goes down. I'm not sure why or when this happens. If it is not working for you when you try to click it, don't get too discouraged. Attempt to go to that page again in a couple days.
~~~ Please, remember to change your TTL (time to live) on your computer. This is often why people think they are being throttled to 5mbps. you need the router to not recognize that it is sending Internet to: what it thinks is a computer. You can google this topic and also try other TTL Values.
This video shows you exactly how you can have cheap unlimited internet in your van or rv while traveling and living on the road.
We want you to enjoy the freedoms of unlimited, un-throttled LTE internet while traveling, just as we do.
This is how to experience unlimited LTE internet in 2021 while living in our van,

For the guys getting throttled, the mr1100 is not a good device when using for providers that needs ttl settings, you will consume a hotspot data depending of the plan, you need an external router that can use ttl settings.

Awesome video, I had no idea you could trick a mobile hotspot like that. Question: Have there been any places (natl parks, forest roads etc) where your hotspot just couldn’t connect to the Verizon network? If so, where were they?

[@blue03mule]

I'm not on the road like you folks but I am tired of my internet creeping up in cost... I just ordered a renewed M1 from your link.... I will most likely purchase an antenna to hang out on the eves of the house. If I can lower internet by $50 a month, it will only take a few months for this to pay for itself. And of course, the benefit of taking it in the R-Pod when out and about. Thanks for the blog post.... I have been looking for a solution like this.. Fingers crossed.

Great to hear! With an external antenna this would be an awesome at home solution. internet cost are getting out of control

Great Video. You hooked us up! Literally. Thank you. Got another router that allowed a imei number change within the router software. I connected to the cellular network with great speeds but stopped using it after seeing comments discussing ttl. I don't want to get throttled or shut down. I am getting contradictory information about setting the ttl. If we want the router to mimic an android phone what do I set the ttl to. 63, 64, or 65? I think 64 is right but not sure. Thank you in advance

[@Deepstatedebate]

I work for AT&T. There's a way to get an unlimited hotspot for under $35 a month with no discounts. Cheaper still if they have military/first responder/teacher discount. It involves a phantom IMEI number, and a new line added on Premium. Not every AT&T employee knows about it, because it's not exactly policy. But it works.

[@elviscalix1408]

What are your download/ upload speeds on your laptop when you connect to the netgear router, with the visible sim?

[@StephenandSusan6557]

Hi, we have an M1 and have a plan where we can share a dedicated data SIM, plus the data on our phone plans for a total of 85gigs of data per month. Why not just use hotspotting from our phones.? Because although the iPhone and the M1 can have data speeds of about 270mbs, if we use the phone as a hotspot we only get about 30mbs. These speeds are close to the CBD, Perth, Western Australia and not what we can get when travelling away from the city in country towns or in more remote areas. But, it gives an idea of the possible speeds on a 4g LTE device. There is a new 5G Netgear M5 available here, but the coverage for 5G is still very limited and it’s not worth the extra cost. Our shared plans are expensive, about AUD120 per month for the three, but our provider has the best coverage for rural and remote areas of Australia.

[@jamespyle531]

I cant wait to get this i live in a rural area with horrible internet options but decent cell service my cell phone has better download speeds than the wifi so im gonna get one of these and add another line to my boost plan so only another $30 a month

[@sea3n1]

Hi Jake- Looking for some advice on this: 1) I called ATT and unlocked the MR1100 hotspot. 2) I put in a Cricket Data SIM in the hotspot, changed the APN, and it worked fine. 3) I then took out the data SIM, changed the IMEI to an unlocked phone that I had lying around. 4) I got a new SIM (for a cell phone) made from another carrier (GCI) and when I put it in the hotspot and changed the APN, not the Hotspot says that it is locked 5) I can put that same GCI SIM into the unlocked phone and the phone works, the phone doesn't say that it is locked, but when I put the SIM back in the hotspot it shows up as locked again. 6) I can put the Cricket Data SIM back into the hotspot, and the hotspot doesn't show locked, but it also doesn't work anymore because the IMEI is no longer a data device. Any help is appreciated!

[@jimoray3]

Touché

[@casstippit766]

So this only uses the signal it creates from the late modem right? It can’t pick up abs rebroadcast other WiFi signals like from an rv park? Assuming that’s true, if I use my visible sim in this, and it thinks it’s a phone, and then I pick up the net gears signal with my router and rebroadcast it, will it still be un-throttled or will visible recognize that it’s being rebroadcast abs throttle it down? Hope that’s clear, lol. Great video!

Since Visible does not roam you might be in an area no service. Have you considered getting another cheap secondary carrier on different network just in case?

[@laughing1986]

I have another question, another video said that the router that we picked had to have capability as "bridger" or "rage extender" so that you are able to change your TTL. i looked up the netgear that you use or recommend and I dont see those specs or details on it. Do you know why you were able to change your TTL if it doesnt have those specs. Also, does this has VPN and is it necessary for anything

[@kacybennett180]

Hey Jake I appreciate this dude! Quick question - Do you just order the SIM and stick it in the Netgear to get it started? Or do you have to get a phone also to first activate the SIM and then plug it in the Netgear? If you just got a SIM, what SIM did you get on the Visible site? Thanks in advance!

[@JakeandHeather]

correct. you will need to put the visible sim into a phone first to activate the sim using the Visible app. I selected to "bring my own phone" on the visible website to have them send me just the SIM card

I was an early adopter to Visible. Last I knew, to use my iphone as a hotspot, the phone had to be directly tethered to the computer, limiting you to 1 device and continually charging the phone. Does this allow you to connect to more than one computer at a time and put the phone on an on/off timer to keep from continually charging?

[@happyhealerforpresident2029]

Awesome, maybe my campaign bus and you will come together.

[@sherohn2116]

Cool! .. so one quick question, after we change the IMEI and have the sim working, will the devices that are connected to the Netgear be considered as if they were connected to a phone's Hotspot? because that would take us back to the same problem, our data plan is unlimited but the Hot spot option is 5 GB only per month.

[@Cohandley1]

It's supposed to spoof it to register as a regular phone, untouched it will use hotspot data instead

[@MarkWilliams-ix1qf]

If the IMEI is for a phone, that's all the cell carrier sees. They can't look at devices on your WIFI net, it's behind a firewall.

[@thuhuyentn]

Hi Jake and Heather - Does the Visible service has to be activated first for the sim card you got? I called Visible and they said it has to activate via an Visible app, which mean I have to own the cellphone and activate through that cellphone first?

You can activate the visible sim in almost any phone. Just download the app and put into your phone. It doesn’t need to be the same phone as the IMEI you used to changed the netgear
