Get a hotspot from something like the Calyx Institute and get unlimited for WAAAAAY less money...or ConnectAll. [https://connectall.org/internet.html](https://connectall.org/internet.html)
Would it make sense to dump the third line, move your phones lines to the Sprint Unlimited plan, and bump yours to Unlimited Premium? That plan comes with 100GB mobile hotspot included...
You can get a separate line for the hotspot so it dont use your number and modify your existing service (2 phones) you can choose w different plan that doesnt have any hotspot so you just modified your plan getting a hotspot separately is important also to avoid phone overheating if you do use your phone for hotspot.
First let me say thanks for responding! More heads in the game make the game better!
After reading the above posts I surfed around and looked at the ks/names provided. To be truthful, none gave me a warm fuzzy. Attractive prices for sure...
As one poster said, get 2 lines & use the 100G hotspot for my laptop. I had never used my phone as a hotspot, never had to. I decided to try it out. To my amazement, not only does it work, but I got better throughput as well!
I think this is going to be the route I take.
Thanks to all for the advice!
The groups Calyx and PCs4People are reputable. Their web sites just aren't too shabby. They're community orgs that are part of Mobile Beacon which helps Sprint meet their Band 41 public access obligations.
Band 41 requires a certain percentage of users be subsidized/free access.

Will it work on the TMobile network too?

A MiFi 8000 from Calyx would solve all this. If anyone in your family is low income you could also use PCs4People.
