I took the recommendation from someone on CRVL and purchased the Mobley, not one of my better decisions. The device has been returned twice and “fixed” and still either won’t connect or disconnects after a few minutes of service slower than dial up.
AT&T was the carrier and I set up auto-pay. After two hours of trying to find someone, anyone who knew what the hell a Mobley was I finally just called billing and told them I was going to cancel the auto-pay and send the device back. A very nice young woman handled it all, canceled the contract and stopped the withdrawals. I did pay an extra 31 dollars so it wouldn’t show on my credit.
This has been a $150 exercise in futility, but a good lesson. Not everything a self described guru is correct.
Anyone want the Mobley? Might make a good paperweight.

I use my iPad or iPhone, WiFi at this park is unreliable. Too far out to get service from cable.

Hey Gunny !
It really sucks your Mobley doesn't work there.
Not familiar enough with that Mobley to give much help from such a long distance..
I suggest you keep the Mobley though as it might work somewhere else ,,,,
(or maybe just with some help setting it up?)
Never give up .
Machines will hopefully never be smarter than us , no matter what the MFGs tell us.
Wi-fi is typically not very great in campgrounds .
They get a service designed for home use and it gets overloaded with so many people expecting high speed data everywhere they go. (Meaning streaming netflix , Yoo Toob , etc.)
OR
They get a business service that is faster but it still gets overloaded by the same people.
Fiber Optic lines allowing far greater speeds is available but it hasn't been installed in 80% of the places that have
regular I net service yet....(which may
be never in some spots)
stay tuned

I have one of the one's from Ebay that's $5 a month for unlimited verizon 3g. My first one only worked a month and i had to send it back to have it reflashed or whatever they do to it. Then it went out again after a few weeks. I bought another one off ebay and it's been going good for 3 months now. It's reception can be spotty depending where you are or during peak hours but for the $70 the device cost and the $5 a month for service I can't really complain. Plus there's no contract.
