I finally figured out how to get internet out here

I live in West Texas in the middle of nowhere. I have a cell phone booster for the Iphone so I turn on the hot spot and put it next to the booster and plug the Iphone in to the usb on the computer. I've only had an Iphone for a little over a year. I'm not that up on how all this stuff works.

will rent a house out west on the Frio River on occasion. I don't get cell service out there. It's really nice to not have that distraction. It's like living way back in time, all the way back to the 20th century!

but it costs $80 a month with a 2 year contract. I have the att bundle so I might as well use my unlimited data to get on the internet for free.
