Wifi Mobile Hotspot

Does the Sync3 system have a mobile hot spot capability or only through phone tethering? and if yes, is it limited a specific carrier?

Thanks Guys,
Matt

My knowledge is limited to 2019 trucks. Yes the truck has WiFi ability for a monthly fee. I simply connected my phone and everything works fine.

best wishes.

When skimming past threads, did anyone else first read this as "wife's mobile hotspot"? Asking for a friend...

It depends on the year. I believe AT&T is the provider for those trucks with the installed wifi.
The 17's did not have wifi capability, but for $25.00 per month I have unlimited wifi in my truck with Sprint. The modem plugs into the OBD2 port and supports up to 8 connections at a time.

Just got a 2019 and it is AT&T but since I have unlimited with Verizon just didn't make sense to me.

I’d like the meme better if it were correct. That line was never spoken in Jaws. You’re gonna need a bigger boat.

I did the free WiFi trial. Waste of time. Not enough data for entertainment purposes (e.g., streaming). Would be fine for email and light duty business.

Haven't used it since the trial, but yes, it was ATT. I won't give them any money. Worst customer service I've ever encountered. Only people you can ever get in contact with is sales, save for an act of God.
