Anyone not use the wifi hotspot? Should I just get unlimited data plan? I have unlimited calls but only so much data per month to use.

Dealership didn’t activate the vehicle SIM card and it sounds like it’s going to be a PITA for them to do it. ?‍♂

UPDATE:: hotspot now suddenly works AFTER I spent all weekend downloading songs to a flash drive. ?????‍♂??

Nope never needed it. Or wanted it. I have hot spot on my phone. Unlimited calls, text and data. Tmobile. Military eteran plan
Same plan and have great coverage. Figure if my phone won't have service, the truck probably won't either.

My Ipad 4 mini doesn't have sim card so I use my phone's hot spot...I can't think of a reason Ford offered this feature other than that...then again, 100% of drivers already have a phone with hot spots...

I did not activate. Don't need the added expense and don't need a Hotspot for just driving it to and from work most days.
