I need to look into that as well. W e have AT&T phones with unlimited data, I have used that when the house internet went out and it worked pretty good, but I dont know how well it will work driving down the road.

A lot of options available to you from devices your Cellular company may offer to more professional offerings such as Pepwave. I suggest contact 5Gstore.com, 4G/5G Routers, Antennas, Boosters, WiFi, IP Switches for recommendations if you want something beyond cellular company offerings.

But the simplest response to your question is "does your phone work as you drive down the road?" If the answer to that is "yes" then your phone as a hotspot will also work as you drive as will pretty much all the dedicated hotspots offered by the cellular providers. Yes, there is a lot more sophisticated equipment available, but the bottom line is that cellular service works fine as you travel and can provide very acceptable internet service as you drive. Sure, there will be occasional locations where you lose signal but those shouldn't be frequent, at least not with the 3 major carriers.

I have no idea what you mean by this. We run our hotspots 24/7 without problem. If you used all your data, that's a different story and it isn't the fault of the hotspot.

Yah @docj He meant burns through his data.

That's what I figured but Neal had already answered with respect to hotspot "hardware" and I continued in that vein.

People continually ask questions about "hotspots" when what they really are asking about is "data plans".

IMHO the answer to the "best data plan" question is that there isn't a single answer. If you want lots of data available to you as you travel all over the US, you will need more than one plan. I currently have two of the T-Mobile 100GB plans, a 400 GB AT&T plan from Millenicom, and a grandfathered, unlimited prepaid Verizon plan. At any given moment and location any of those plans may be great or not so great!
