Yea when we bought the truck I was already on At&t unlimited so it was useless to me, I'm on Verizon now, I might opt to activate mine if we take a trip out west so I have a backup phone signal. Wondering what a satellite phone and activation would run?
The unlimited plan for AT&T data is $20 per month

Stick the fob to your chin when you push the buttons?
Yes - your skull and the water in your head act like a resonator and amplify the signal. Used to work in RF.
Proof is in the pudding - try it - it works

For a modem? When we bought the truck it was going to be an extra $40 a month on top of 4 phones we already had on the plan.

It does, I wasn't being facetious.

Yes, for unlimited WiFi 4G hot spot in your truck. I have this and it's a separate plan from my phone. See: AT&T My Vehicle.
Its $20 per month with no contract, cancel any time. Or $200 per year, prepaid.

The AT&T hot spot plan is different than using the app to start/lock the truck, that comes with the vehicle and there is no monthly charge.

I use my app. In the store, waiting in line. Ranger on with app. Or lock. Or unlock. Basically only use the fob when i am right at the ranger. But use the app, unlimited distance for me as of yet

So, at the dealer we tested this many many times, the guy in the video is valid, but we found putting it up against your cheek, hold your arm out and push the fob, the head porter swore if you opened your mouth it even made it better.
I know, sounds wacky, try it, it really works.
