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.

      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.

        Only if you pay quarterly. If you pay the whole year it’s 100 dollars less than the first year.
