Re: [nlug] Cellular hotspot issue resolved

2018-04-09 Thread Jack Coats
I had to call Consumer Cellular to have it enabled on my phone.
I use it so seldom, I figured they might have it shut down by default.
When I was asking about it I did offer that I understand that I might
have to pay extra for extra data use (their cap is low, but so is my use),
but for the first time in years I went over the 1G (for under $10/mo) and
itcost $19 for 3G, that I probably won't use up this month.  That is data
alone.  My normal bill counting everything is normallu under $30/mo.
BUt then again I am retired and cheap.

I've been using Google Fi for just over a year now.  Really pleased with it.

$20/month for cellular service and then data is $10/GB, no hidden
fees.  Any data after 6GBs is free, including hot spotting.  You get a
pro-rated credit down to the penny on unused data every month for the
previous month.  Stock version of the latest Android with no adware
and monthly security updates.  Hybrid cellular across multiple
providers, 5 bars of signal most anywhere I go.  No reason to ever go
back to Verizon or Sprint or AT&T.  Just got the new Pixel 2 recently,
very nice phone.

Here's a referral link that will make both of us $20 if you decide to
use it:  https://g.co/fi/r/T4K6VT  Or https://fi.google.com/ if not.

[nlug] Cellular hotspot issue resolved

2018-04-09 Thread John F. Eldredge
After the recent NLUG meeting, I called Verizon Tech Support, and they 
changed a server-side setting on my account, allowing me to resume 
occasionally using my phone as a WiFi hotspot. Apparently, they decided to 
disable this feature on their phones until a given customer calls in and 
complains.
