The Best Cellular Data Plans for RVers & Cruisers
Welcome to our central resource page for data plans, highlighting the plans we currently consider the best for phones, hotspots, tablets & routers.
Finding the right data plans for your unique needs is no easy task - using cellular data as a primary way online is not how most carriers have designed their mobile plans.
At the Mobile Internet Resource Center - we strive to provide unbiased mobile internet information for US based RVers, boaters and nomads.
Shopping for Cellular Data Plans Finding Your Best Data Plan for RVing or Boating!
Today's RVer or boater needs a home internet replacement while traveling. They're working from 'home', remote learning, researching the next stop, banking, keeping entertained and staying in touch with friends & family - all of which require internet access.
Cellular data is the most popular way to keep online while traveling.
A nomad's cellular data plans need to get laptops, computers, video streaming devices, gaming systems, and home automation systems online.
Those living on the road for any length of time are not the typical cellular customer just using a bit of data when away from home, they're using it as a home internet replacement while on the go.
Which means they need to seek out data plans that most cellular carrier sales staff don't tend to have as much knowledge about. Plans that include a lot of data that can be used as a hotspot from either smartphones, tablets, hotspot devices (Jetpacks, MiFis) or cellular embedded routers (Pepwave, Cradlepoint, Mofi, Insty Connect).
