Anyone try out these hotspots? Any opinions? The cost is comparable or cheaper to buying directly from a phone provider. Are the hotspot devices decent? Customizable?

The non profit itself seems interesting and privacy focused. Their OS seems well maintained and it “just works”.

    OP probably means this:

    Internet Membership

    Sign up for an Internet Membership and enjoy unlimited 4G or 5G mobile internet in all US states and territories.

    Sounds very interesting! With such a service, I could finally throw away my phone number. That is, if this is a mobile hotspot like solution.
    Its only US, though.

      Yeah, only US probably due to the “education” radio frequency stipulation for their nonprofit to get the service at all. Which is why I want it, to study

      Am I missing something or is the price higher after the 2nd year?

      Yearly: $500 for first year, $400 thereafter
      Quarterly: $150 every three months

      $600 for 3rd year?

        Excuse me, what kind of overpricing this is? ~$50 a month is insane for phone service, what kind of perks do they add on top to justify THAT? Cheaper to just buy a truckload of anon simcards and change them like gloves.
