Hey everyone, I live in a dorm like apartment where my Internet plan is part of my contract. I have a monthly data limit which just isn’t enough for me. Buying additional data is stupid expensive. I found out though that your used data is only calculated once you disconnect from the internet completely. So my idea is to get a small device that is constantly connected. I could use an Amazon echo / Google home, but I’m not comfortable with the idea of having one. Could I just hook up something like a raspberry pie to the Internet and how would I go about ensuring that it has a constant connection? Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post.
What happens when this device or whatever does eventually disconnect? No more data for the month, or get charged for it?
I’m kinda doing something similar with my phone. It’s not supposed to be a hotspot, and I shouldn’t have more than 20gb a month… But here I am on month four with 100gb of side loaded hotspot each month.
No, they just cut it. I had the idea because a neighbor has been using a Google home for this for a while now. We have to manually transfer money to increase our data.
