My cheap phone plan has little data, but it rolls over. For unlimited wifi in 2 vehicles plus my phone plan ends up less than $50/mo. The vehicle wifi will remain connected in places that the cellphone drops out in and reverts to wifi calling through the vehicle. I get 75Mbs around here on the vehicle wifi. Plus when the power is out and internet as well, when I use PPOB to power things up, I run a script on my desktop which connects my wifi to the truck to connect everything else thus providing double duty. Power and internet backup ;)

Just out of curiosity what does Ford charge for the WiFi? I can't see a price it wants me to sign up for an ATT account.

I can't remember off hand but I think it was $20-35. They had packages you could get for different streaming services as well. $20 is just WiFi with unlimited data, higher plans included streaming services.

I pay $15/mo unlimited. I have a post on it somewhere. They don't keep records once the service ends from replacing a card # so I've negotiated it twice. The first time they offered it.

Unlimited 12months for $200.00, so $16.67 per month.

I'd assume the wifi would only work if truck is in acc or started correct. Be pretty cool if it'd work even with truck off to connect and do things with it

Well, a great thing about the PB is it’s idling capability. Put it in generator mode and use the wifi all day. Bonus your 12V batteries will be nice and charged for you too ?

To be clear I paid ATT $200 for the plan, but I went through the Ford Pass app to do it. Hope that helps.
