Hey guys, we met you at Yacht Haven and love your channel. We had this exact setup for 1 year and only had 1 place where it wouldn't receive a signal. Always great speed and loved it for $50/mo. I knew it was a matter of time before they figured out what us RV'rs were up to and find a way to $$$$$$$$.--Doug & Julie
I just completed a 47 minute conversation with customer service at T-mobile. After the customer service rep consulted with tech support several times she confirmed that I did not need to change my plan or equipment. Obviously you do need to have cell service to support the gateway, but other than that she said my plan will continue seamlessly. FYI
T-Mobile always pushed this for people on the go. They were venders at Grand Design Rallies selling on site. They just are switching now to see how many people will pay the premium
Tom what you said about the GPS not being active is not true, it is always on they just have not locked them down to the registered location yet. I work for T-Mobile and there is either a sim card or ESIM in the device that only works with the Gateway modem as well as a IMEI that is in the device and all they need to do is lock the IMEI to just a few towers around the registered address on the account. These were never meant to be for RVs and it was just a mater of time before T-Mobile started to enforce the rules.
No offense to anyone. But I have 2 Home internet and neither one of them are that great. I’m in the process of switching. At first it was great but it has really gone done hill in the last month.
good thing i dont plan on traveling with my home internet but if they increase the price of my home internet even if i have no chance of winning i will file a lawsuit against them
Hey Tom, have you heard about AT&T Internet Air option they just rolled out, and if so, are they doing the same thing, where you can’t move around with it?
Hey guys wondering if you ever confirmed that T mobile home internet ever stopped working ? After May 8th. I can’t seem to find anything on line now about it
homefi is 200GB/$80 - 300 GB $90 - 450/$100.- 800GB/$135- Plus monthly rental fee that it doesn't say how much and possible recovery fee. None are unlimited. Need to read fine print. T-Mobile home internet unlimited still $50. Thank you for video. Blessings to you.
I purchased my T Mobile to use in my RV and since my home address was not available they typed in an address that they knew would work. At most RV shows T Mobile is set up knowing we were going to g to travel with the “home” device. I have Starlink to use while stationary but I will be purchasing a hotspot from another carrier. This really stinks! I cannot imagine how much business they are willing to lose. Btw love your channel! Hope to see you on the road.
I'll treat this like I do a hurricane. I'll just sit here and see if anything develops. I was told, by Tmobile it wouldn't. If it does, then I'll change service. Everyone is in panic mode, when nothing has changed yet.
Visible wireless unlimited hotspot, $25 a month for their slower service and $50 a month for their faster, unlimited hotspot service. I havent taken it on the road so your mileage may vary. Visible is part of Verizon.
Lets not make this into something its not. They are not "cracking down on RV'rs". They are cracking down on ANYONE that is violating the terms of service by using the device outside of the original service address and that included people that use it at a vacation home if the service address is their regular home. They are doing this because of the new "away" plan to extract more money from anyone that wants to use it outside their home. Sorry but the terms of service have always been that it must be used at the service address you gave when you signed up. they have every right to start enforcing that.
@@boyeatsworld-vr9ciThey’re not targeting RV-ers. They’re enforcing known agreements with anyone that tries to use the service outside of the agreed location. Truckers, RV-ers, campers, families driving to grandma’s for Christmas….. Get a grip. Get some integrity.
@RoadieWingZZ dude, go rage for the machine somewhere else. This is hilarious to me. It works, it doesn't degrade the network, it was sold this way at rv shoes and clearly works this way. So wtF! Do you care? Do you think if you shill enough for this global corporation they will pat you on the head? Tfoh, pathetic bootlicker. There is no logocal or rational reason to not allow an affordable mobile hotspot like this in todays day and age. Im so tired of you new bread of corporate contrarians. Aren't you due for another booster shot about now?
By the way, we should be thanking T-Mobile for giving us a free pass for three years without enforcing the contract that we signed! Thank YOU! T-Mobile, for being so nice
I thought you threw your Starlink into a trash bin according to your video! It was a pretty hard toss. I figured you were not going to reuse that system any more. So you’ve actually pulled it out of the trash can and kept it anyway🤨🤨
Check the contract you signed. If you got HOME internet plan it is intended to be only used at your address. Doesn't matter what they tell you, its what you signed.
All these people standing up for t mobile in the comments. Or maybe bots. It absolutely does matter what they tell you. Businesses can't just say a bunch of lies. They are going to get a class action law suit because they told so many people they could travel with it.
@@greatquotestoliveby LMFAO, a class action suit based on hearsay. No chance in hell. I care nothing about tmobile, But if you dont think other people are not getting hurt by the people violating the terms of service you are fn clueless
@greatquotestoliveby I guess you don't read the contracts. For the people who say they were told that they can travel with it, do they have signed statements from their sales rep stating that they could travel with it? If they do, then they may have a case, if they don't, then they won't. I work part time from home and had plan to travel periodically and still work remotely since I was also informed I could travel with this plan but i don't have a signed statement to that effect and I knew what it said in the contract and knew they could enforce the registered address use only provision in the contract at anytime, and now they will be, so i only get what im actually paying for. Does that stink? Yep, but it is what it is, and there were no surprises. If I were traveling a lot, I would pay the $160 price, but since I'm not, I won't be. Hopefully T-Mobile will discover that the $160 a month is an excessive price for ones who arent full time travelers and possibly offer part time travelers a more reasonable priced plan, but if they dont, the sun will still rise in the east and set in the west tomorrow. This country currently has bigger economic problems to resolve than mobile internet costs. Have a great day. P.S. Not a Bot.
It is always the money. They already make money and they knew when they sold it they would go up to same prices as cable companies. Just needed to get people on board with it. Now let's PRICE GOUGE. If Verizon goes up with wi fi box they will get it back.
The price for honest people using it at home as their service agreement said is not going up. Of course it's about money, this is a company that is in business to make money. All of those cheaters out there using it as it was not intended causing Network traffic and slowdowns while using it in places they're not supposed to deserve to get their service suspended permanently.
It has always been in the terms and conditions that you had to use it at your address that it was registered. The price is not going up for home internet users that are using the service honestly and not breaking the rules and being dishonest. The new away plan for honest rvers will be $160 for unlimited or $110 a month for 200 gigs. I don't feel sorry at all for the cheaters.
@@denykay1You seem to lack integrity. If you sign an agreement with specific terms and then knowingly break them “because you can”, you’re part of the problem.
lmao. Unless you have it in writing you got nothing. You signed a contract to keep it at your home vs your hearsay of you could roam. You signed saying you wouldn't roam, doesnt matter what you were told you could do. Unless you have proof of it in writing. You want to sue tmobile for you violating the terms of service you agreed to?
It's not a "hack" you are doing its harming the company and other users who are trying to use it home. I have an uncle that lives next to a large state park. He pays for tmobile home internet and service is great during the camping off season. Then all the people move in with their "home" plans in their campers and his speeds are trash for 6 months. The system was designed to fill up low loaded towers to make more money to pay for that site. Then people come along to rip off the system, shaft tmobile and other users. Such hypocrisy, you think Tmobile is trying to rip you off when all they are doing is stopping you from ripping them and other people off. How dare they.
Well if you are using it at the address you signed up at then why would they contact you? You have done nothing wrong. It’s those using it mobile that have violated the terms of service that risk being cut off.
@@hessm171 No you were not. you were sold a home internet plan that you signed a contract to keep at the address you used to sign up. It's in the terms of the CONTRACT you SIGNED. Read it, then get back to us how your not violating the conditions by taking to other towers in congested areas and slowing other people down.
I called T-Mobile tonight because I was concerned that since I moved from where I had started T-Mobile Internet that they would raise the price. I am not an RV user I just had to move to another town. They told me that they are not going to change anybody's current policy even if the person is traveling in an RV. This is only for new policies and that current policies would remain the same even if they were used in an RV.
Thank you for that info. I've seen too many RV videos over the last couple of days eager to jump on the unverified report of the change. We need to see an actual document from T-Mobile.
As I mentioned above I had a 47 minute discussion with T-Mobile customer Service and she made multiple communications with tech support to confirm that my status as a RVer will not be affected.She told me that my service will continue at contract prices uninterrupted.
Even easier is using a 5G capable Samsung phone with at least the 888 Snapdragon processor and 256 gigs of ram. I pay 55 dollars a month for my 5G line and link my laptop to the phone thru unlimited hotspot. Super-fast speeds and you can move the phone so easily around to wherever the best signal is. I used to have the T-Mobile tower but sent it back because the phones speed is like 2x faster... brought the bill down too!
Ok does anyone know how to disable the GPS tracker on the T-Mobile 5g home internet device? Are they really going to halt thousands of monthly service income? There are other options way cheaper than $160 a month.. something stinks here
Then there's those who were sold the service at the store the employee used a random available address those should look into suing as well damn sales employees did it for the sales im literally in the same boat my alt address is like roughly 4 miles away from my actual address
We did the exact same thing you did to get our verizon box and we only pay$25 a month for unlimited. We couldn’t get it in our area so we used a family member address. It works great. We we thinking about get t Mobil so we would have 2 carriers. I heard Connectet uses 5 carriers and it’s $130 a month. I would probably switch to that if Verzon does the same thing. We are in our motorhome about 65% a year.
My plan is to see if they actually crack down. That part is all hearsay. They do have motivation to now but they’d still have to either update the software to lock it to your home area or have people monitoring locations. Likely intent be an issue unless and until you call in from the road for tech support.
It's super easy for them to track it. They know what tower you signed up on and they know what tower you are getting data from. 1 keystroke to make it only talk to that tower. I will be glad to see them lock it down.
@@hessm171 Be great to see those that have been gaming the system when they log in and get no data because they violated the terms of service. Plus it would be nice for my uncle to get his tmobile home have decent speeds year round. His speeds go to pure trash 6 months a year when all the campers come to the state park by his house using their "home" plan. You know they plan they signed a contract saying they would stay home with, the entitled ones who think slowing down others going by their agreement is "justified" because they lied about the address they would be using.
@user-ee6hv3hs9p because his wife's boyfriend owns stock in tombile and this will make his wife's boyfriend richer, which in turn will make her happy which will make him happy. I have it on good authority, he replied to your comment just after getting his 13th booster shot at a pro ukraine rally.
The plan is to stop all the roaming around the country with a specific address. T mobile will loose customers that abuse the privileges which is their main goal and if people use the away plan t mobile will fix their few customers that stay on and more towers will go up which all takes time. They should cut a break on minimum users that don't use a lot of data. I guess the cell phone would fit that bill. We will see all is speculation I haven't got a clue what the real reason is. 73
IF you listened to Tom in the beginning he ONLY got the T-Mobile modem from using his daughters address; HE never signed up for T-Mobile!! Ergo, HE would be a NEW subscriber to T-Mobile and, prob have to pay the new rate! The rest of his stuff that HE is recommending is bogus; because even with “their” 10-20% discount you’ll be paying top $$, and, THEY get a commission!!!
It's dishonest of T Mobile reps to push this product regardless of whether your address is in an approved area or not. They just "find" one that works to get you signed up. This happened to me today when I signed up, which I thought was odd but was assured it didn't matter. I even informed them of my intent to use this service in an RV which would involve me moving back and forth in between 2 cities every so many months in areas that most likely aren't in areas of home internet service. At no time was this new plan brought up to me before I signed on. If it had, I wouldn't have proceeded. The only good thing about it is no contract has you locked in. This is bad business in my opinion, not that they are creating a new plan, but because they have not been and currently still are not conveying this type of information to existing or new customers.
Why not buy just buy a Solis Lite 4G LTE WiFi Mobile Hotspot for $110 and purchase USA Unlimited Data Subscription for $89? Instead of paying $80 for 200GB. Not only that but if you travel international you can purchase international plans for Solis
A lot of people crying before they're hurt. Not going into effect until the 8th. I called Tmobile, and was told my rate would not change. I've read it on Facebook, as well as seeing it on UA-cam. I think we should all wait until the 8th to see if the sky is going to indeed fall.
How do you deal with streaming services when you move locations? I’m just a weekender but stuff like Hulu only lets me change locations about 5 times a year.
If you are using your own internet service (ie HomeFi, Starlink, etc.) then you should be fine. If you regularly connect to campground internet then that could cause an issue with a streaming service and you move from campsite to campsite.
Awesome timing, my wife in are grateful for your honesty. We will be looking into your suggestion for new Home Fi router, always enjoy your dynamic drone views and places to see. Grace be with you
They are so honest they are telling you that they think cheating the system is a good thing. So honest calling the "hack" they do to hurt legitimate users is justified. Pure hypocrite, mad at t-mobile for blocking them from violating the terms of service they agreed to when the got the service. To bad they were not so honest to T-mobile and legitimate home users.
Sorry Tom, you are wrong. The price for T-Mobile home internet is not going up at all. The $50 home internet is not going up and you are being very disingenuous for trying to say it is. In your contract agreement, it says the T-Mobule home internet is only to be used at your registered address. Just because they weren't enforcing you from using it elsewhere yet, doesn't mean it was priced for you to use it wherever you wanted to. The NEW price of $160 is for their NEW AWAY plan, not the existing home internet plan. So maybe, T-Mobile just might be contacting you about spreading disinformation and down right lying about their services.
@EnjoyTheJourneyLife what's your point for providing this link? The 5G Home Internet plan is still going to be $50 a month or, in my case $30 a month because I have a qualified phone plan and auto pay. Yes, I can't travel with that plan, but it was never a traveling plan to begin with.
Shut up David. T mobile are the ones that told lies. They sold me this service IN TEXAS when I even told them I was just visiting family and I was traveling.
@@greatquotestoliveby You're clueless. Look at your contract. You AGREED to only use it at your home address. Does not matter what they told you, you signed a contract to only use it at your address. You can still use it and it will still be the same price, just only at your house. Like you agreed to.
@@hessm171 So lying on documents, shafting the company, going against the contract you signed and shafting other users is the "high road" . Let me guess your one of the people that think tmobile stopping people from ripping the company and other users off is just wrong and price gouging?
@@mauricerostaing4281I own stock in DTCM as well. this will not affect the value in the slightest. were you on the last call? this was discussed as a way to avoid a theoretical degredation in service in about 13% of the covered areas that they said WOULD be a POSSIBILITY in several years. its to address a problem that may or may not happen. I dont believe you own any shares.

I use T-Mobile Home Internet, what you talked about, and I have another hot spot (different carrier) and have thought of Starlink often.
I have it for 30 a month. It's great and I'm locked in. I use it from Maryland to Texas. I'll let you know if my price goes out
You have what um?So I don't know what's going on
@@christinaholligan8299 I have the tmobile internet box for $30 a month.
@@christinaholligan8299 T-Mobile I think
More than likely the price won't go up they Will just enforce the area restrictions and cut you off since you have been cheating.

At most RV shows T Mobile is set up knowing we were going to g to travel with the “home” device. I have Starlink to use while stationary but I will be purchasing a hotspot from another carrier. This really stinks! I cannot imagine how much business they are willing to lose.
Btw love your channel! Hope to see you on the road.
Starlink announced 4/30 they will launch more satellites
I'll treat this like I do a hurricane. I'll just sit here and see if anything develops. I was told, by Tmobile it wouldn't. If it does, then I'll change service. Everyone is in panic mode, when nothing has changed yet.
Visible wireless unlimited hotspot, $25 a month for their slower service and $50 a month for their faster, unlimited hotspot service. I havent taken it on the road so your mileage may vary. Visible is part of Verizon.
Mine is still working everywhere i take it at $55 a month, are you sure they actually started this? Maybe theyre only doing it to new customers
Lets not make this into something its not. They are not "cracking down on RV'rs". They are cracking down on ANYONE that is violating the terms of service by using the device outside of the original service address and that included people that use it at a vacation home if the service address is their regular home.
They are doing this because of the new "away" plan to extract more money from anyone that wants to use it outside their home.
Sorry but the terms of service have always been that it must be used at the service address you gave when you signed up. they have every right to start enforcing that.
so.... they are cracking down on RVers. got it. lot of words to say the same thing I did, but you do you.
@@boyeatsworld-vr9ciThey’re not targeting RV-ers. They’re enforcing known agreements with anyone that tries to use the service outside of the agreed location. Truckers, RV-ers, campers, families driving to grandma’s for Christmas….. Get a grip. Get some integrity.
@RoadieWingZZ dude, go rage for the machine somewhere else. This is hilarious to me. It works, it doesn't degrade the network, it was sold this way at rv shoes and clearly works this way. So wtF! Do you care? Do you think if you shill enough for this global corporation they will pat you on the head? Tfoh, pathetic bootlicker. There is no logocal or rational reason to not allow an affordable mobile hotspot like this in todays day and age. Im so tired of you new bread of corporate contrarians. Aren't you due for another booster shot about now?
Overall my service does work almost as good as spectrums 500mb plan i get roughly 400mbps with tmobile even though my address is not eligible
By the way, we should be thanking T-Mobile for giving us a free pass for three years without enforcing the contract that we signed! Thank YOU! T-Mobile, for being so nice
Exactly
I thought you threw your Starlink into a trash bin according to your video! It was a pretty hard toss. I figured you were not going to reuse that system any more. So you’ve actually pulled it out of the trash can and kept it anyway🤨🤨
look up the definition of hyperbole, and then ask your question out loud into a mirror.
They signed me up with the intention that I would be traveling in my RV. You’re freaking me out.
Check the contract you signed. If you got HOME internet plan it is intended to be only used at your address. Doesn't matter what they tell you, its what you signed.
@OmahaWayne you are spot on with your comment.
All these people standing up for t mobile in the comments. Or maybe bots. It absolutely does matter what they tell you. Businesses can't just say a bunch of lies. They are going to get a class action law suit because they told so many people they could travel with it.
@@greatquotestoliveby LMFAO, a class action suit based on hearsay. No chance in hell.
I care nothing about tmobile, But if you dont think other people are not getting hurt by the people violating the terms of service you are fn clueless
@greatquotestoliveby I guess you don't read the contracts. For the people who say they were told that they can travel with it, do they have signed statements from their sales rep stating that they could travel with it? If they do, then they may have a case, if they don't, then they won't. I work part time from home and had plan to travel periodically and still work remotely since I was also informed I could travel with this plan but i don't have a signed statement to that effect and I knew what it said in the contract and knew they could enforce the registered address use only provision in the contract at anytime, and now they will be, so i only get what im actually paying for. Does that stink? Yep, but it is what it is, and there were no surprises. If I were traveling a lot, I would pay the $160 price, but since I'm not, I won't be. Hopefully T-Mobile will discover that the $160 a month is an excessive price for ones who arent full time travelers and possibly offer part time travelers a more reasonable priced plan, but if they dont, the sun will still rise in the east and set in the west tomorrow. This country currently has bigger economic problems to resolve than mobile internet costs. Have a great day. P.S. Not a Bot.
It is always the money. They already make money and they knew when they sold it they would go up to same prices as cable companies. Just needed to get people on board with it. Now let's PRICE GOUGE. If Verizon goes up with wi fi box they will get it back.
The price for honest people using it at home as their service agreement said is not going up. Of course it's about money, this is a company that is in business to make money. All of those cheaters out there using it as it was not intended causing Network traffic and slowdowns while using it in places they're not supposed to deserve to get their service suspended permanently.
I’m canceling my T-mobile and going Starlink
Why?
It has always been in the terms and conditions that you had to use it at your address that it was registered. The price is not going up for home internet users that are using the service honestly and not breaking the rules and being dishonest. The new away plan for honest rvers will be $160 for unlimited or $110 a month for 200 gigs. I don't feel sorry at all for the cheaters.
Good grief, you sound like Frank Burns. If the capability is there, it's not cheating, it's just using what you have.
@@denykay1You seem to lack integrity. If you sign an agreement with specific terms and then knowingly break them “because you can”, you’re part of the problem.
I think those who were sold the service with traveling in mind should sue tmobile for false advertisement prior to them adding these new bs plans
lmao.
Unless you have it in writing you got nothing.
You signed a contract to keep it at your home vs your hearsay of you could roam.
You signed saying you wouldn't roam, doesnt matter what you were told you could do. Unless you have proof of it in writing.
You want to sue tmobile for you violating the terms of service you agreed to?
40 buck unlimited I just signed up
Wow, a company is catching people using their service illegally. Shame on you. And then capitalizing it to get UA-cam likes.
$30
It's not a "hack" you are doing its harming the company and other users who are trying to use it home. I have an uncle that lives next to a large state park. He pays for tmobile home internet and service is great during the camping off season. Then all the people move in with their "home" plans in their campers and his speeds are trash for 6 months.
The system was designed to fill up low loaded towers to make more money to pay for that site.
Then people come along to rip off the system, shaft tmobile and other users.
Such hypocrisy, you think Tmobile is trying to rip you off when all they are doing is stopping you from ripping them and other people off. How dare they.
It is being sold as a rv internet
@@hessm171 No it absolutely is not. It's called what? T-mobile HOME internet plan that you signed a contract to keep at home.
Your full of it.
I think this guys drunk 🥴
Dump and run from T-Mobile. Never again !!
Seem we would have gotten something fron T-mobile about this. I've seen nothing.
Well if you are using it at the address you signed up at then why would they contact you? You have done nothing wrong. It’s those using it mobile that have violated the terms of service that risk being cut off.
@@TDub_ADV I'm a fulltime RVer, traveling the country.
@@TDub_ADV I was told my the t mobile rep that it was ok to travel.
@@jamesmurray9333 Read your terms of service from when you signed up. What the rep told you irrelevant
There hasn't been an official notice yet.
Dude your wrong 😊
Good deal, I hope they lock every router down on may 8. People act like gaming the system is hurting nobody. It hurts many.
Gaming what? I was sold it for travel!
@@hessm171 No you were not. you were sold a home internet plan that you signed a contract to keep at the address you used to sign up. It's in the terms of the CONTRACT you SIGNED.
Read it, then get back to us how your not violating the conditions by taking to other towers in congested areas and slowing other people down.
I called T-Mobile tonight because I was concerned that since I moved from where I had started T-Mobile Internet that they would raise the price. I am not an RV user I just had to move to another town. They told me that they are not going to change anybody's current policy even if the person is traveling in an RV. This is only for new policies and that current policies would remain the same even if they were used in an RV.
the greedy T-mobile screws there customers again they will start loosing there customers
Thank you for that info. I've seen too many RV videos over the last couple of days eager to jump on the unverified report of the change. We need to see an actual document from T-Mobile.
@DoveBlue
As I stated in my comment. I called them. I may have been misinformed.
Did you speak to someone that really knows?
As I mentioned above I had a 47 minute discussion with T-Mobile customer Service and she made multiple communications with tech support to confirm that my status as a RVer will not be affected.She told me that my service will continue at contract prices uninterrupted.
We use ConnecTen but support has been horrible for the last week and no service for 4-days. Will be looking at the Titan as replacement!
No No Tom ! I watched you throw your starlink in the trash can !!! 😂
LOL
Even easier is using a 5G capable Samsung phone with at least the 888 Snapdragon processor and 256 gigs of ram. I pay 55 dollars a month for my 5G line and link my laptop to the phone thru unlimited hotspot. Super-fast speeds and you can move the phone so easily around to wherever the best signal is. I used to have the T-Mobile tower but sent it back because the phones speed is like 2x faster... brought the bill down too!
I got mint mobile unlimited for 45. For 3 months for my iPad, hope it works on my trip 🙏🤞
Ok does anyone know how to disable the GPS tracker on the T-Mobile 5g home internet device? Are they really going to halt thousands of monthly service income? There are other options way cheaper than $160 a month.. something stinks here
Then there's those who were sold the service at the store the employee used a random available address those should look into suing as well damn sales employees did it for the sales im literally in the same boat my alt address is like roughly 4 miles away from my actual address
We did the exact same thing you did to get our verizon box and we only pay$25 a month for unlimited. We couldn’t get it in our area so we used a family member address. It works great. We we thinking about get t Mobil so we would have 2 carriers. I heard Connectet uses 5 carriers and it’s $130 a month. I would probably switch to that if Verzon does the same thing. We are in our motorhome about 65% a year.
My plan is to see if they actually crack down. That part is all hearsay. They do have motivation to now but they’d still have to either update the software to lock it to your home area or have people monitoring locations. Likely intent be an issue unless and until you call in from the road for tech support.
It's super easy for them to track it. They know what tower you signed up on and they know what tower you are getting data from. 1 keystroke to make it only talk to that tower.
I will be glad to see them lock it down.
@@OmahaWayne why would you be glad?
@@hessm171 Be great to see those that have been gaming the system when they log in and get no data because they violated the terms of service.
Plus it would be nice for my uncle to get his tmobile home have decent speeds year round. His speeds go to pure trash 6 months a year when all the campers come to the state park by his house using their "home" plan. You know they plan they signed a contract saying they would stay home with, the entitled ones who think slowing down others going by their agreement is "justified" because they lied about the address they would be using.
@user-ee6hv3hs9p because his wife's boyfriend owns stock in tombile and this will make his wife's boyfriend richer, which in turn will make her happy which will make him happy. I have it on good authority, he replied to your comment just after getting his 13th booster shot at a pro ukraine rally.
@@boyeatsworld-vr9ci You thought that long and hard and that's the best you could come up with? Todays children are such a disappointment.
The plan is to stop all the roaming around the country with a specific address. T mobile will loose customers that abuse the privileges which is their main goal and if people use the away plan t mobile will fix their few customers that stay on and more towers will go up which all takes time. They should cut a break on minimum users that don't use a lot of data. I guess the cell phone would fit that bill. We will see all is speculation I haven't got a clue what the real reason is. 73
I received mine from a Costco in San Antonio
IF you listened to Tom in the beginning he ONLY got the T-Mobile modem from using his daughters address; HE never signed up for T-Mobile!! Ergo, HE would be a NEW subscriber to T-Mobile and, prob have to pay the new rate! The rest of his stuff that HE is recommending is bogus; because even with “their” 10-20% discount you’ll be paying top $$, and, THEY get a commission!!!
It's dishonest of T Mobile reps to push this product regardless of whether your address is in an approved area or not. They just "find" one that works to get you signed up. This happened to me today when I signed up, which I thought was odd but was assured it didn't matter. I even informed them of my intent to use this service in an RV which would involve me moving back and forth in between 2 cities every so many months in areas that most likely aren't in areas of home internet service. At no time was this new plan brought up to me before I signed on. If it had, I wouldn't have proceeded. The only good thing about it is no contract has you locked in. This is bad business in my opinion, not that they are creating a new plan, but because they have not been and currently still are not conveying this type of information to existing or new customers.
Why not buy just buy a Solis Lite 4G LTE WiFi Mobile Hotspot for $110 and purchase USA Unlimited Data Subscription for $89? Instead of paying $80 for 200GB. Not only that but if you travel international you can purchase international plans for Solis
But in your ad in "HomeFi you threw it in the trash". So you decided to climb in the trash and pull it back out?
T mobile is not going to change plans to the Away 160 travel plan so relax and keep t mobile .
The address verification process has been placed on hold.
A lot of people crying before they're hurt. Not going into effect until the 8th. I called Tmobile, and was told my rate would not change. I've read it on Facebook, as well as seeing it on UA-cam. I think we should all wait until the 8th to see if the sky is going to indeed fall.
Right the price won’t change. But will be geographically locked to billing address.
How do you deal with streaming services when you move locations? I’m just a weekender but stuff like Hulu only lets me change locations about 5 times a year.
If you are using your own internet service (ie HomeFi, Starlink, etc.) then you should be fine. If you regularly connect to campground internet then that could cause an issue with a streaming service and you move from campsite to campsite.
Just got it this week for 40 a month
Awesome timing, my wife in are grateful for your honesty. We will be looking into your suggestion for new Home Fi router, always enjoy your dynamic drone views and places to see. Grace be with you
They are so honest they are telling you that they think cheating the system is a good thing. So honest calling the "hack" they do to hurt legitimate users is justified.
Pure hypocrite, mad at t-mobile for blocking them from violating the terms of service they agreed to when the got the service. To bad they were not so honest to T-mobile and legitimate home users.
Sorry Tom, you are wrong. The price for T-Mobile home internet is not going up at all. The $50 home internet is not going up and you are being very disingenuous for trying to say it is. In your contract agreement, it says the T-Mobule home internet is only to be used at your registered address. Just because they weren't enforcing you from using it elsewhere yet, doesn't mean it was priced for you to use it wherever you wanted to. The NEW price of $160 is for their NEW AWAY plan, not the existing home internet plan. So maybe, T-Mobile just might be contacting you about spreading disinformation and down right lying about their services.

@EnjoyTheJourneyLife what's your point for providing this link? The 5G Home Internet plan is still going to be $50 a month or, in my case $30 a month because I have a qualified phone plan and auto pay. Yes, I can't travel with that plan, but it was never a traveling plan to begin with.
Shut up David. T mobile are the ones that told lies. They sold me this service IN TEXAS when I even told them I was just visiting family and I was traveling.
@@greatquotestoliveby You're clueless. Look at your contract. You AGREED to only use it at your home address. Does not matter what they told you, you signed a contract to only use it at your address.
You can still use it and it will still be the same price, just only at your house. Like you agreed to.
If it is starlink is cheaper. I will switch
Hi

@@mauricerostaing4281I own stock in DTCM as well. this will not affect the value in the slightest. were you on the last call? this was discussed as a way to avoid a theoretical degredation in service in about 13% of the covered areas that they said WOULD be a POSSIBILITY in several years. its to address a problem that may or may not happen. I dont believe you own any shares.
