The majority of the content at The Mobile Internet Resource Center is completely free, with no advertising, sponsorships, or products being pushed for sale. All this free content is funded by site members that get access to deeper guides and forums and webinars in return.
And though there are way more happy members who keep renewing than we ever expected - anyone who doesn’t think the resources are a fit can get a no-questions-asked full refund within the first month of joining.
With such generous terms - I don’t think anyone has ever accused the site of being “bait and switch”, so I suspect you might be thinking of something else.
In our deployment we primarily use Verizon (in the US), but a neighbor at one place is using Visible to great (100+ GB/month) effect. That is a fairly uncongested area, so deprioritization does not play much of a role.
I just bought the Peplink Max Transit CAT18 for my sailboat. What data plans would people recommend? I have Google Fi on my phone and can try adding a data only card for free, so I will try that.
I am in San Diego and looking for a US carrier that does not require a contract. I will be heading to Mexico in a couple months. Any recommendations on plans there?
I used The Mobile Internet Resource Center for a while for free and got really good information. I recently joined and have been happy with the additional content available for members. I also used their discount code when purchasing gear at Mobile Must Have and the 10% discount more than paid for my membership. So it has been good for me. YMMV

I recently picked up the max transit cat 18. Verizon zapped my card too. I was on the phone with their tech support for hours and they couldn’t fix. I assume it got added to some ban list. I asked her to file a ticket with their engineers and to follow up with me, we’ll see if that actually happens.
As far as sims go, I’ve gotten ultra mobile (t-mobile), h2o wireless(att), and visible (verizon) all working so far. It’s only been a few days but getting 30 mbps when the signal is good.
Visible is working great. Granted I’ve only been using it for a day so take it for what it is. I’m getting 40 mbps or more. Visible does have a high ping, generally around 100, but that’s totally acceptable for my needs.
All you have to do to set it up is to set the APN to VSBLINTERNET. I don’t if it’s necessary, but I also enabled roaming, and forced it to LTE in the sim setup in pepwave. I also have my enforced ttl set to 64.
@pwaterz That is great news! Is this just a phone / sim that you moved over to the visible plan? or did you just grab a new phone and pull the sim? I was planning on trying to re-enable one of my old verizon sims on a visible plan w/ the “love your current phone” option then move it to the pepware max transit
@pwaterz Awesome!! From what I understand visible operates on VZ tower / signal this will give me the secondary VZ coverage that im hoping for. I may be wrong but hoping not. Currently looking to find an ATT option for the other modem
I’m going to start my visible stuff today !!
