re: Rural internet options? Att cancelled data connect pass

Just add another line to your account, don't get another phone just another line. You can take a newer extra phone or add a line and they will give you the sim for you to put in. If you just get the sim, you won't be locked in to a plan, you can cancel anytime. Even if you get a "free " phone, you will have to keep the new line until it is "paid" off. This is what I have done. I had the data connect pass and came home one day and it had been swept. Added a line, put it in the router and restored the service. Unlimited data. I use a d-link 922. My friend has the Mofi router, works great.
