Free Internet - understanding APN's, Straight Talk,Tethering

Google is not the answer. Pretty sure google is a big part of the problem. Can't we transmit data though ham, cb's, and obsolete 5w cell phones?

Google's not a problem if you don't mind the NSA violating your privacy. Even then, there's encrypted VPN options for the paranoid or Tor. (Wish Tor would add more nodes and police the bandwidth clogging bots and/or throttle the 'heavy hitters'.)

Google is just really hoping that people in Africa will use their search engine generating more ad revenue for them. They would presumably hope for that in any location they serve, but they wouldn't force you to anymore than they force their fiber subscribers to.

I've been contract free for 6 years now.

Having a contract is absolutely for suckers. The next evolution will be removing the voice/text BS side of a "service" they sell, and just having data that is on a distributed de-centralized mesh network of peer-to-peer, and wherever on the mesh net someone happens to have a data connection points, everyones data moves through the connected spots, no need for the phone company at all.

That is the dream, supposedly a man named steve perlman is developing/testing a wireless technology of some sort he calls DIDO. Sounds good on paper, the range is suppose to extend beyond the curvature of this planet with incredible bandwidth. All of it is unseen, possibly BS to drum up investors, who knows.
 
Thanks for putting this together. Adding "dun" to APN type got rid of the 3g connection error I was having. Finally got tether thanks to you.
 
Two words: Republic Wireless.

Get a Moto G for $150 and then phone plan for $10 per month.

If you have good WIFI around you, you are SET.

Done.
