Perhaps I will cancel my order, and just look nationwide for something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 That seems to be Fords mode of operation lately. Pay more, get less. It’s not a good trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except how much of it is Ford offering the hotspot functionality as a value-added feature for the owner of the vehicle... ... vs. value-add for AT&T's marketing department, since service is only available through AT&T?

JHForman812 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 The hotspot isn’t a loss in my opinion. My current phone plan allows me to share my phone as a hot spot. My kids are happy. Beyond the wifi hot spot trial I’ve never activated it, or used it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyGreatEscape Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 I actually used it, and I'm still under the first year subscription. During long trips, one full-time college student would use the car Wi-Fi, the other adult logged in to work through the phone's mobile hotspot. This helped tremendously for the once-monthly trip for medical treatment that was very far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
