Mobile Carriers in the United States

[rocket2nfinity]

Interesting :
Google Fi  data only...
  SO you are using your Pine phone as a mini pocket tablet, 
    Not as a phone ?

Personally,  I use mine mostly as a phone/text device,  and use the data as a hotspot for my laptop,  I prefer the larger screen for online usage.
  Can you still hotspot with the data only plan ? 
    > Some Carriers forbid hot spotting and tethering <
    My 'Prepaid' service Does allow both,  but the same carrier does not in the Post pay version
 
But it IS about making our own choices.

I'm just testing it out trying to learn the ins and outs of the different distros and the limits of the device. I have another phone, so phone function not critical at the moment. Google Fi allows hotspot on any device. You can have five data only Sims per account.
