have a T-Mobile account and rely on this for most of there internet
connects...I realize that you must be in a location where T-Mobile is
offered (Startbucks, Boarders, Barns n' Noble...)....appears service is
offered at 5000 locations....they have month to month plan for $40 per
month....annual plan for $30 per month... OK....you have your Hot Spot
account....does each location charge you a fee....Hmmmmmm!

BTW:  Can we talk about T-Mobile cell service............same questions....>>

I use T-mobile for 95% of my away time online. It's $30 per month for the all
you can eat plan. If you have your cell service with T-mobile then you get
the same plan for $20. No fee once you are on this plan. Otherwise, you have to
pay hourly. No per location charge. Some T-mobile locations aren't even
encrypted, just like a few of your neighbors.

I don't even go inside sometimes. Inverter inmy van, and voila... I'm in like
Flint.
