Pepwave on international plan

CinsNet

I have a Pepwave BR1 hosting a LTE or WIFI network in my camper. I also have 2 iPhones and and iPad on my plan. Before leaving for Alaska I called Verizon to assure that everything would work in Canada. Two days across the border and I get a $50 roaming charge for the BR1. After two very frustrating conversations with Verizon I have removed the SIM card. Verizon did roll back the charges but could only apologize and explain that my BR1, not having a phone number, was not eligible for international data. Horse Hockey! I guess I’ll just use my phone as a hot-spot for my BR1 to pickup WIFI and problem solved until I get back in the USA.
