Hey everyone, I live in a dorm like apartment where my Internet plan is part of my contract. I have a monthly data limit which just isn’t enough for me. Buying additional data is stupid expensive. I found out though that your used data is only calculated once you disconnect from the internet completely. So my idea is to get a small device that is constantly connected. I could use an Amazon echo / Google home, but I’m not comfortable with the idea of having one. Could I just hook up something like a raspberry pie to the Internet and how would I go about ensuring that it has a constant connection? Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post.
I’m guessing I don’t need a new fancy rpi and I can use an older model?
Oh I should have added that the base data is part of my rent. I don’t get charged anything until I manually book more data. The way I found out about the loophole is because someone else has been accidentally using it for years now. So I think I’m pretty save.
Na, pretty much anything that’ll run linux will do.
Seriously, expect a bill and/or permanently cutoff service when it is discovered.
Alright thanks, I’ll just see this as an experiment. I expect the bills to come in any day. It’s worth it either way.
