Deal Details
This is a FYI for people who are interested in a CHEAP ($20 per month)Unlimited Plan through AT&T. The UConnect plan via the ZTE Mobley is back for a limited time. Currently, AT&T is sold out of the device (and its not certain if they will getting them back in stock). but you can still get the plan if you can come up with the ZTE Mobley device. You can still find a handful of the devices on eBay currently. The cool thing about the device is that people have figured out how to create adapters so the device can run off a wall outlet.

Per the wonderful website, RVmobileinternet.com you need to call a special ATT number to get the deal as it a special promotion. Below are the two numbers they listed on the website:

Primary Phone Number: 855-894-9945

Secondary Phone Number: 866-662-4548

HERE ARE LINKS TO THE RVMOBILEINTERNET SITE WHERE THEY DISCUSS WHAT THE MOBLEY IS AND HOW TO GET THIS DEAL:

https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/...-campaign/

You can read about the device on several active forums too. Howard Forums is probably one of the best!

I haven't followed pricing - did the price for the unit just go up or is it about to?

It had gone up, and fallen, Often there has been no availability of the hardware units.
I've had one for about 2 years. Still working great.

The link you sent is for the Harman Spark another device that ATT sells. It is my understanding that the GPS chip in the Harman Spark shuts the unit down after a period of not moving whereas the ZTE Mobley does not have this. I believe the terms and conditions for the Spark state that the device must be used in the car whereas the terms arent as restrictive for the ZTE Mobley. If you look at Howard Forums, you'll see that many users upgraded to better and more powerful hotspots with ATT on their Mobley accounts.

Mobley isn't a good radio though right it's behind the times hardware-wise. How are they upgrading to newer hotspots with the Mobley SIM? Last I heard AT&T puts a PIN on the SIM and you can't get it to use with another device?

The Mobley isnt the fastest hotspot out there but it looks like most people get from 10mbps to 40mbps with the device with some reporting over 40mbps.

There are lots of people who have posted on those forums that they were able to upgrade to newer hotspots with Mobley SIMs. In fact, several said they were prompted by ATT to upgrade their devices after they had the account for a period of time. As far as the SIM getting locked and not geing able to switch devices, several people posted they called ATT and got the unlock codes. Check out Howard Forums for more details.

Gemniii,

What kind of speeds do you get from your Mobley?

I think I've had this for about 2-3 years. Had used it with a 12V adapter until my Mobley died. As of November I have been using the same SIM in this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1
Faster speeds, works much better than the Mobley did. Still paying 20$ a month

As far as speeds, I get slightly better speeds but much better reliability from the Netgear. Today about 25Mbps (but this all varies by tower and signal more than the device)

I have a ZTE hot spot that does pretty good. I only pay $20 (unlimited) at my home for it. What is the difference in mine and this one? I average 600 GB a month on it in a VERY rural area

Hi Killy, how many GBs do you average per month on your ZTE Mobley account?

Nothing to see here. The Sparks device is crap if you plan to use the device outside of a moving vehicle--and this new plan has been available for a while now.

The forums on Howard Forums about the ZTE Mobley device and plan are over 400 pages long. It seems some people think it's a big deal still.
