I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won’t upgrade me to it until I contact them. There’s also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit on one plan for an extended period of time.

  • Yeah for sure. I mean, my hotspot anyway has always been free. But I know people who have to pay separately. And I don’t understand why.

    I remember the first time I went to Europe several years ago. I went to Barcelona. I picked up a local sim card at an Orange store. I must’ve gotten like 10GB for like 28 days or something? And it was like half to 2/3 the price of what I was paying at home for 5GB.

    Same in the Philippines. That said, in either location, I didn’t try hotspotting.
