Seriously, it’s driving us nuts!  We have had Sprint when they had unlimited data and we used pdanet which worked great but then we were in 5 states up in the northwest and had no service at all – phone or internet.  We were at a Sam’s Rally and a Verizon Rep told him that we could get same package with Verizon and have a hotspot!  So we thought, okay, better coverage and we bought a Iphone.  Well, in one week, we were getting messages saying we had used up 1/2 of our allowance.  Long story short, the first bill (which was only for 2 weeks was almost $1000.  They said we had used 12 GB.  

Yes, we do use the internet a lot, and download games, books, pics, etc.  We have a laptop, desktop, ipad and 2 smartphones.  As of now, we have pageplus but we have no internet unless we are at a park which stinks because theirs is usually terrible!

I tried and suceeded in jailbreaking iphone and got his phone to be a hotspot, allthough when the battery died, so did the service and I can’t figure out how to get it back, but it wasn’t very fast and frankly, his phone is now always here at the motorhome.  He thinks I can fix anything on the computer because like most hubbies, he has not patience.  We need unlimited internet, phone service!  Some people have told us to get satellite internet but won’t you still need a provider?  And is that still gonna be on a limited plan?  Can you get internet through your directtv?  Please help!  I’m having surgery next week, and we really got to get this fixed.  I’ve looked at tmobile and others but I get so confused.  I really liked pdanet when we had our Samsung Epic 4gs but the phones kept breaking down because the plug in for the charge would wear out!  HELP!!!!!
