Yea, except this morning I had to change the Hopper back to my other phone since my computer wouldn't connect to the Visible phone! That problem should be solved once I get the travel router I've ordered. Hopefully.

Success, at last! This morning the Hopper *finally* showed a list of wireless networks (which it hadn't done before). I found my phone and the Hopper ran through it's setup process. So now I have the Visible phone connected to the Hopper!

I found a party on Facebook...there's a page specifically for finding Visible parties. So far, I've had no problems with the voice quality on Visible. I have a Motorola Moto G7 Power phone.

When I tried this, the computer was OFF. The hotspot on the phone was also OFF before I turned it on to try and connect it to the Hopper. I already have one on order. Don't know when it's going to be here.

So you're saying that voice and data count as two connections? If so, then why am I able to use the phone as a hotspot?

I am aware of this, but when I've tried to connect it to the Hopper 3, I haven't had anything else connected to the Visible phone.

I do have one of the GL.iNET mini travel routers on order through Amazon, but it may not be here until the end of the month! I don't have anything else connected to the Visible Hotspot when I've tried doing this.

You should be able to keep the cookies you want by transferring them to the "Cookies to Keep" box. Open CCleaner. Click on "Options" on the left-hand side of the screen. Click on "Cookies." You'll see two boxes: "Cookies on Computer" and "Cookies to Keep." Scroll through the "Cookies on Computer" list to find the cookies you want to keep so that you don't have to log in each time. Highlight that cookie and then use the arrows to move it to the "Cookies to Keep" box.

The Hopper is scanning for WiFi. When I was trying to get the Visible phone recognized, it apparently lost the information on the original WiFi, so I turned on the hotspot of my other phone (the one that was used originally when the Hopper 3 was installed) and used "Reset Network" (I think) and it found that signal and reestablished the link.

Oh, it's transmitting. I used it as a hotspot all morning to get my computer online.

I ordered a Visible phone and am trying to get it and the Hopper connected, but haven't been successful. Here's what I tried: 1. Turned on Visible phone's hotspot 2. Went to Menu>Settings>Internet 3. Then Wireless Setup>Wi-Fi Setup Wizard The next screen says "No wireless networks were found." Selecting the "Rescan" button doesn't do anything...this on the 2nd try. On the first try, the "Wireless Network" did start a scan, but it never found the phone. Now what?

What are the problems with voice? For those of you who have been using Visible, how is your experience with voice quality?

Thanks NutinElse2Do! I did check my phone's compatibility and, unfortunately, it's not compatible. 😪 But, I just got off a chat with an agent at Visible and, if I want to port my phone number, they'd send me their ZTE Blade A3 Prime phone for free (https://www.visible.com/shop/smartphones/visible-A3-ZTE), I'd activate it when delivered which would port my number over, and then I'd send them my old phone back. If their chat using the app is anything like the chat using the website, I'll be happy! The woman I chatted with was helpful and informative!

I'm still in research mode and noticed on RV Mobile Internet's site it says Visible is app based. Can someone explain exactly how that works? Do you have to open the app in order to make a call or to use the hotspot? If you have to open the app to make a call, how do you receive a call? I looked at the app on Play Store and it gets only 3.7 stars. While there are some good reviews, there are a lot of bad ones, too, mainly about the app crashing and voice quality being poor. What has your experience been with Visible?

Cool! I've never heard nor seen a bed like that.

Is this a floorplan that you drew, or the floorplan of an actual RV? The reason I ask is in the bedroom, it doesn't look like there would be enough room to bring in the bed slide before it hit the bathroom.

There's a place on Visible's website to determine whether or not your phone is compatible with their service. If it is, then I would assume they'd send you a new sim card, but don't know. Perhaps their website says.

I was looking at their website today and notice an asterisk on the "unlimited data." It says that the unlimited data is for a limited time only and begins on 10/22/2019. Does anyone know whether or not Visible is still offering unlimited data? If so, any idea when it might stop being offered? I'd like to sign up for Visible once our current Verizon contract ends, but that's a little more than a year away, but I wouldn't want to lose out on the unlimited data!

We had a Safe-T-Plus added to the front of our Class C. It really helps with the drag when large trucks pass. It probably helps somewhat with wind, but if the wind is strong enough to start pushing your rig around, it's time to get off the road!

All of those RV parks are a L-O-N-G way from the U.S./Algodones border. Sleepy Hollow, the only RV park within walking distance has been closed for at least a couple of years. From looking at the map, you might think that Cocopah RV & Golf Resort or Lucky Park Del Sur might be close enough, but you can't walk west from there to get to Algodones Road (SR-186) because of the Colorado River. You could park at the casino, but that's still an awfully long way to walk.

So far, the Surface is working out. That'll save me some money which is a good thing as I have some dental work that needs to be completed over the next couple of months. 😪

Quartzsite has a business where you can pick up USPS/FedEx/UPS mail/packages. Ironwood Outpost

We've only been asked to fill out a form for general delivery once -- years ago at a post office in Montana. However, we've run into several post offices that will accept general delivery mail for only 30 days and then require you to get a post office box...Quartzsite being one of them. Several years ago, we had mail sent to Quartzsite. When I picked it up, I got a lecture about how we'd only be able to get general delivery mail for 30 days and then would have to get a post office box. I pointed out to the guy that they didn't have enough post office boxes for all the winter visitors that spend the winter there. It fell on deaf ears. Fortunately, for us, we were moving on and not getting anymore mail there. But we've found over the years that the people at the Quartzsite post office are very unfriendly.

Thanks Bill. The sale is good until later this month, so it will give me some time to play around with my Surface to see if it will work for me.
