    Anyone going to Algodones before April 15?

    Wanting to get dental work done that might take a few days. Will be coming from OK. Prefer to not go alone into Algodones.  Doesn't look like any of the caravans will be located near there during my available time. Or does anyone know of a caravan with some members planning an excursion to...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    Well Jim, I got in my car with my laptop and my hotspot and I drove over the Oklahoma line. When I got only 2 to 3 miles inside Oklahoma, I had full bars of service! I pulled into the parking lot of a small store along the highway, and my laptop connected like a dream! Since I had some grocery...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    Jim, I am wondering if this hotspot is defective. It was a refurbished model when I bought it. The battery would not stay charged longer than a couple of hours, so the seller ended up sending me another battery. I don't really know if that helped at all, because my move took place before I was...

    LOL! The story of my life!  My situation being the one that stumps!  I am south and a little west of the tower you're talking about. After hearing this, I'm considering looking into the Straight Talk 4 G hotspot. Apparently I can get a $40 card for 60 days which should satisfy my laptop needs...

    Jim, I'm in the area of Kansas just north of Bartlesville Oklahoma.  I'm curious about the PRL update you mentioned. How would I go about doing that?  Thank you so much for your concern and all of the great information you give.

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

     G Okay, here's an update. I purchased a Verizon hotspot through GLS Electronics, that only uses 3G. It's the one that uses the $5 data card. Everything was going fine until I had to move my residence about 80 miles north. Now, I'm in the southernmost part of Kansas, and my hotspot absolutely...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    So....if I buy one of those USB wireless hotspot devices from FreedomPop, am I understanding correctly that I'd have a connection to Sprint's network, and that I'd be automatically enrolled in their monthly plan for a fee (then can downgrade to a lower amount of usage which will do away with the...

    Need Laptop Internet Access On Road & Home

    I've found myself suddenly needing a way to have internet access for my laptop on the road AND at home.  My cell phone is an ancient flip-phone with StraightTalk's month-to-month, unlimited Talk/Text for about $30 monthly. I've never even paid attention to how much data is included in this plan...
