I liked this tech option in my SQ5, but $15-30 a month for only occasional use would hardly make sense for me. Not to mention how slow the 3G connection is. It's a bit of a ripoff in my opinion.

I'm letting mine expire. I was told I could only use TMobile with the car and the connection speed is terrible. I don't use it much at all and I can get much of what I do use it for off my phone quicker.

If it was 4G, I would totally do it for $15/month. I would see it as an inexpensive way to not go over on my personal data plan on the family's phones.

I did another post earlier about how disappointing it is that the Q5 still has 3g. I totally understand that it is due to the aging design and that is why the new models are having 4lte etc... Still disappointed either way!

I'm going to let mine expire, primarily because it is so clunky slow. Also, quite often I find that if I do an online Google search for some nearby business, I don't find it. If I kill the wifi connection to the hot spot and just use my iPhone 5s it pops up right away (using Google search on the phone). I can't figure out why this is happening. Is the online search in the MMI of a more limited nature?

My experience has been the complete opposite; Anything that I have searched for, including more obscure facilities has come up using the Online Destination Voice Control. I almost never do an actual address look up unless I am searching for a private residence. Streaming Music/Video in my area is usually fine about 85%-90% of the time; so I will continue my subscription after the trial date to continue these and not worry about any personal phone overages.
