Does the WiFi hotspot give you internet when your cell doesn't have service?

The wife hotspot only gets good reception when I plug it in the right hole.

I have to do a lot of work just to get close to mine...flowers help.

Nice edit! I drink plenty though, and it doesn’t seem to help.

Oh, you meant her??

As said its based on ATT. I have absolutely no ATT coverage at my house so its of no use. I already carry both an ATT (First Net) and Verizon phone so no need for it in the Jeep. I do see value as my work truck has a Sierra Wireless Modem with vehicle mounted antenna. Still it only gives me 1/4 mile more than my cell in areas I loose it on my phones.

You’ve gotta get the antenna in the right position.

And maybe you need the long antenna option!

I’ve heard the stubby works just as well!

Does the wife hotspot give you internet when your cell dosnt have service? Like is it through a satellite, so your constantly connected? I called uconnect and they just could not mentally process what I was asking.

All the "wifi" hotspot in vehicles is is a SIM card that is permanently wired to your car/jeep/whatever. If you don' t have phone service you won't have a wifi hot spot either. the only thing that would work would be local connections i.e. other phones or tablets connected to the same wifi hotspot.
