So you said that this will automatically change carriers. I have been out camping a few times and mine didn’t work and I had good cell service in those areas. My unit works great if ATT is in the area but does not switch to other carriers if there is no ATT service. I personally spoke with Tyler yesterday 7-29-24(Connectens Owner) and he told me that it doesn’t auto connect. He told me that I would have to call or chat with someone to get the carrier switched. You may want to talk with Connecten because if what Tyler told me is fact you may want to revamp your video. Thanks and have a blessed day.
@@dannylsharp4714 Yes, we also discovered after we made this video that you need to call. Their service is exceptional and we have never had an issue with reaching a representative. Thank you for pointing that out. Have a blessed week as well! 🤩
I was about to order mine but pricing scale seems a little bit deceptive to me. I tried to order the $99 data plan with the $99 one-time equipment charge 4G router, but apparently the monthly recurring payment will be $297. No one ever mentioned they charge separately for the visim card, so it brings up the payment much higher than anticipated. Unless I'm wrong unless I missed something. How much is your monthly payment?
@DennisDugas We can’t tell you why people have expressed their opinions negatively on FB but we love ConnecTen! Just remember that opinions are just that. You can’t please everyone. Happy camping! 😀
I can add eSIM cards to my cell to get various carriers. Why do I need this versus just having them on my phone. Especially since it doesn’t actually connect automatically to strongest signal.
@1TechCritic420I’m still struggling to find the best solution. I need fast internet. I do a lot of zoom calls and live streaming as well as uploading videos to various platforms. I don’t need internet while physically moving but I do need it wherever I stop.
Thanks for the mobile internet 🛜 information! Sounds great for people that need it ! I don’t care if I’m not connected when I’m out camping. I downsized to a tiny home base 20 years ago! That full time RV life is expensive and not for me . We go weeks or a few months then back to Florida! Thanks for sharing your experiences!! 👍😁
@ralphp3057 we are so happy you are able to disconnect and one day would LOVE to be able to do so! Since we do have to work on the road, this is a great solution! You are definitely living your best life. Thank you for watching & happy camping! 😀
@@OutsidebySide Thanks so much for the well wishes! I kinda think that sounds funny . I’m disconnected lol 😂 I do understand it helps big time if people are still working! Hope you guys are having a great weekend!😁👍
Family trip to Baltimore.. phones are so different now. I remember you could pick wifi up anywhere you went. Not anymore so I'm looking for something to use in the van. Traveling from Florida to Baltimore MD is a bit of a ride. So hopefully you guess have the solution
@turdboman There are multiple plans. Here is the link to their website. connecteninternet.com/products/netrifi-smart-vsim?selling_plan=1546485945 Thanks for watching!
@@showtime4956 Yes, you are 💯 correct! When this video was made, we were under the impression it would automatically switch. Thank you for pointing this out. Merry Christmas! 🤩🎄✝️
@docohm50 The download/upload speed depends on where we are at the time. Yes, it is unlimited data and to be honest with you, we have received consistent internet with ConnecTen in locations we previously did not get internet. We still highly recommend this company. Their customer service is amazing! Thanks for watching! 😀
@turdboman We did understand your question the first time, but you will need to contact ConnecTen. We reviewed their product but we are not affiliated with the company. Thanks again!
Just subscribed as fellow Texas based RVers... we have been to most of your adventures including those offroad (our toad is a Jeep). I hope your internet choice works well for you. As an alternative we use a multi-provider solution. We use Visible (Verizon network) for our phones which provides unlimited 5G 10 mbs tethering; a Tmobile network 5G unlimited hotspot via Caylix Institute; and a ATT network 5G unlimited Tablet plan. We use our own router which provides USB tethering and WiFi as WAN for connectivity. In addition we do have Starlink Mobile as well. Starlink is paused most of the year until we need it (specifically out west where there is no cell at all). Looking forward to future episodes. Especially when you provide campground overviews and best sites. Thanks...
@rdrose61 We do love ConnectTen and want to incorporate Starlink for the times we are completely off grid! How are you liking Starlink so far? We are so happy to hear you have been to some of the same places! We love to travel and live encouraging others to travel as well! Thank you so much for subscribing to our channel and supporting our community! Happy camping & we hope to meet you someday! 😀
@@OutsidebySide Starlink is great... we have had it for 2 almost 3 years. It is essential in the wide open west with no cell service but we also use it in many places where cell service is present but unusable or we are camped in a dead zone. We have it activated less than half the year so it amoritizes cost effectively. We ethernet connect it to our own router so our devices connect to our network no matter the WAN service the router uses. The router provides multiple WAN connections (USB, ethernet and WiFi as WAN) with failover.
Do your research folks. Read all the reviews you can. Some folks have had no issues at all while others have had nothing but problems. Anybody know what cell providers they are linked up with in Canada?
@logowatchman We have had no problems on our end. There will always be good and bad reviews for everything. The best reviews are trying it out yourself. 🥳 Thanks for watching! 😀
Great point! I watch / read all reviews then try to let my logic decide. Unfortunately, not all but I'd say most reviews are designed to keep the sponsors happy. When they are honest reviews there is still the fact that we are humans, and some humans will find a way to give a black rock a bad review.
A 7-day guarantee means they have ZERO faith in their product. And, personally I can't believe this, if you suspend your plan, for whatever reason, they will charge you $15.00 A MONTH for the great pleasure of NOT USING their system. Come on man. I know doing “promos” is tempting, but you are trying to sell CRAP to YOUR customers.
@RonHarrisMe We appreciate you taking time to leave a comment and your opinion is valid, but we completely disagree! We do not do reviews of anything we don’t stand behind.

Just ordered Connectten, excited to give it a try

How's it going?
So far have it hooked up,at home and working well. See how it goes when we head to South Dakota and Wyoming
How are the speeds?

Great info, one question why does connecten have bad reviews on face book.

@sawcheryl The difference is that your phone doesn’t have the multiple antennas that picks up signals better than your phone. Thanks for watching! 🤩
@@OutsidebySidegreat! Thanks for the reply! Trying to figure this out for my situation.
ALos your not limited by hotspot on phone. An not killing your battery.

HOW MUCH DOES THE ROUTER COST

One correction, the device does Not automatically and seamlessly switch to another Network, you have to call ConnecTen to request the switch ….

What's the download/upload speeds in your RV and is it unlimited data?
