Cheaper, more convenient, and you get a much better selection of cars. Have rented a Tesla, a Porsche, and several Mercedes for the same prices that I would have paid for a Ford Escape.

Honestly if you look into them most if not all are losing money. Those that are not have dramatically increased prices. Youtube TV is losing money like crazy but maybe Google does not care.

Re: [AFMUG] support for customer IoT
We get those types of calls all the time, some of our ISPs want us to just support them and some don't. For those that do we have developed a LAN specialist team that helps them with those issues. We make it clear to the customer that the issue is not with their ISP, but that we will still help them. If you have a managed router it does make this much easier.

I guess people need to check remotely during the day to see how the vacuuming is going? Or the vacuum wants to watch Netflix? Anyway, vacuum company support is telling him it's a firewall problem. Of course, it's always your ISP is blocking it. I'm guessing he hasn't even gotten it to connect to his WiFi. Anyway, what do you guys do as far as support for smart vacuums, toasters, light bulbs, etc.? I can see this getting out of hand real quick, as people buy dozens of little Internet connected appliances, and want to call their ISP each time. A lot of these may be $25 impulse buys, so I doubt we could make it into a revenue source even if we wanted to. Maybe you could charge a flat rate per month for IoT support, but it still seems like a money losing proposition if it takes off, unless you can outsource it to India. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com

Re: [AFMUG] customer messaging alternatives to FB
We provide end user support via FB, but we have developed videos explaining how to do troubleshooting and how to do certain things and we send those videos out in addition to potentially follow up directly with the customer via phone call if needed. The usage of FB has exploded since we have done this.

Occasionally we get customers sending us a PM on Facebook, trying to use it like tech support chat. We find it to be very inefficient, and try to get them to email us or call, but most of the time they just engage in a series of back-and-forth Facebook messages. This morning we got a message "I have a question, can you help?" I don't know, what's the question? Unfortunately, Facebook seems to be the only social media app or platform widely used by our not-so-young not-so-savvy customer base. At least as far as we know. Maybe they are going crazy on Snapchat, Instagram, Slack, WeChat, Twitter, or some other platform we don't use. Are you folks finding something other than Facebook for your customers to contact you with private messages? Maybe not a public platform at all but some kind of chat feature on your website? But chat needs 24x7 staffing and that means outsourcing or a chatbot, not sure I want to do that. We do have a "contact us" form on the mobile version of our website, and sometimes people do use that, but that only works if they answer their phone and/or check their email. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com

Buying the SIM is one thing, activating it is another. If you haven't logged into the Hologram portal yet and setup your SIM you should. Make sure you name it apporpriately so you know which one you are fiddling with. Once that is done you should be able to just plug it into anything that supports that kind of SIM and go to town.

You can use their dashboard to turn sims on or off as often as you like which stops the monthly. You pay $5 for each sim up front and use whatever modem you like.
