Supporting the Nomadic Community
Member funding makes this resource center possible, including the free content we're able to provide the public. You won't find 3rd party advertising, we're not sponsored and we don't resell gear or plans. We believe in paying it forwarding, by supporting organizations that also support our community, protect our lands & waters and provide content we utilize (see our about page).
The Mobile Internet Resource Center was founded in 2014 after Chris & Cherie shared for years about this topic on their travel blog at Technomadia.com. They became full time technomads in 2006, taking their high tech careers on the road traveling by various RVs and boat.
As the resource center has grown, so has our team to keep the incredible amount of content we're covering updated and helping our members find their right solution. Meet our team on our About Page. Our team is made up of fellow nomads who depend on mobile internet themselves.
What Our Members Are Saying:
This is how I stay on top of wireless data programs
The information on Chris and Cherie’s website is extremely valuable. Just this week their information about signing up for T-Mobile before the program disappears saved me a lot of money.
I was able to sign up for the T-Mobile’s $35 plan and decreased my Verizon plan by $35 and now I have the same amount of data and I also have the unlimited data for YouTube, etc.
I highly recommend their program.
Don’t Leave Home Without It!
If you rely on internet connectivity on the road like I do, you absolutely must become a member of RVMobileInternet.com’s “Mobile Internet Aficionados”.
The detailed research and technical resources that MIA provides to its members are invaluable, and you can’t get them anywhere else that I know of.
And Chris, Cherie and the rest of the MIA community provide help on obscure questions and problems when you need it. My membership has doubtless already saved me many hours and dollars in having to figure this stuff out for myself!
