Mobile Hotspot: VW Will Let You Pick Verizon Or T-Mobile

For now it is only Verizon for ID4 in US....
T-Mobile is still being tested.....

I signed up for this by accident, so I ended up talking with Verizon about it a bit while un-enrolling. They have two different services: $20 (plus taxes and fees!) a month prepaid gets you 15GB/month of "fast" internet, with an unlimited amount at a throttled rate after that. For $10 (plus taxes and fees!) a month, you can add the car as a new line to your existing plan. So, if you have a shared data plan, the data used through the car's hotspot will count towards your limit.

...or, if you select T-Mobile, they'll transform your ID.4 into a pink Agusta AW-109!

Or you will turn pink from no signal to surf internet.

Extremely disappointed with testing so far.....
Verizon is also very spotty though Midwest but still much better in 3G reception than HPUE at Tmobile network at same location where indeed they trying to confirm LTE......

I'm on Cricket with my cell phone and I finally get good reception around my house. I have seen a bar or two on the ID.4's display, but it's normally no signal around my house. I just figure that that's what I get for buying a property at a development that's about 2 years old.

I called today to cancel my service as well as the internet radio. The internet radio never worked... it would get as far as downloading artwork then never play the content. The WiFi hotspot from Verizon was so slow for me it was like herding turtles. I might try the TMO service once it's available but I'm not holding my breath.

My plan on Tmobile has 40GB phone hotspot so I see no use for the car internet. That is quite a bit as have been trying to use more then 2GB a day watching Netflix and Discovery +. I just dumped Verizon after about 8 years. They do have the best coverage, but their implementation of 5G ....well...sucks in my area. Data kept freezing or my speedtests were worse then LTE.
