Mobile is cellular network that is affiliated to Verizon and Charter companies and offers service across the country. One example of its features is an inquiry customers make about the possibility of using Spectrum Mobile even if the homeowner does not have internet connection. The short answer to that question is yes, you do not have to have Spectrum home internet in order to use Spectrum Mobile cellular service.
Spectrum Mobile also employs the use of Spectrum WiFi hotspots in a bid to lessen the utilization of mobile data. If you are using your mobile device to connect to a Spectrum WiFi, the device will utilize that WiFi signal as the data as opposed to depleting the Spectrum Mobile data allowance. WiFi is not necessary for accessing Spectrum Mobile service but it is an added advantage if available. You can use it anywhere you get service with your cell phone which means you do not necessarily have to subscribe to the spectrum internet service at home.
Spectrum Mobile has two-tier of plans; an unlimited data plan and a by the gig plan where you get cellular data access on Verizon’s 4G LTE network when you sign up for Spectrum Mobile. In other words as long as you are within a coverage area and you have cellular signals to make the calls and receive them and send text messages, and use the data that is attached to your Spectrum internet, regardless of whether you have a Spectrum internet or not.
The main requirements for using Spectrum Mobile are
1. Indeed, being a Spectrum internet subscriber is mandatory if you want to get Spectrum Mobile. However, this is not necessary to have it once you register for mobile service sign up. You can cancel internet but keep mobile pressed.
2. It is always wise to have a matching device at your disposal. Spectrum Mobile supports most recent iPhone and Android phones. Ensure your phone is free from any finance balance and is not bound to another service provider in order to be aligned with the Spectrum Mobile network.
3. The latter involves activation of a service. After registration, you will get an activation card, which should be installed in your device. The activation enables the device get to the cellular network for you to make calls, send text and browse the internet where the network offers coverage.
Now concerning the competition of the plans, Spectrum plans are very cheap and efficient for a person who has Spectrum internet at home, but it is also possible to have Spectrum cellular service without having home internet. Also, one must note that Spectrum Mobile does not need WiFi or Spectrum Internet for it to work in the first place.
The main benefits you would lose by canceling Spectrum internet are
1. Lack of connectivity to Spectrum WiFi hotspots that can be useful in saving on cellular data when in availability.
2. You will not find any bundled offers or special rates on the monthly cellular bills. There are actually some plans offered by Spectrum Mobile that are cheaper for those who also have Spectrum Internet service Provider
Besides no longer receiving those savings or WiFi hotspot, you can still carry on to use your Spectrum Mobile service anywhere in the United States where Verizon and Charter offer cellular services. You don’t necessarily need it at home unless you want to make some money out of it through package discounts or use your phones and tablets through Wi-Fi where possible.
The first few billing cycles may indicate that you have canceled your Spectrum Mobile service when in reality, you have only canceled internet at that address. This happens because the systems unlink the services, and a link between a service and a subscription requires the use of a global unique identifier. However, if you always make the bill payments, then your Spectrum Mobile service is going to remain rolling. The accounts should soon balance between the two systems after a couple of billing cycles.
To answer the question, it is possible to have Spectrum Mobile using only the phone and make no home internet through Spectrum while still enjoying the cellular network. But this would potentially cost a little more each month and you also could not use Spectrum’s WiFi when you are on the go. If you have coverage you can use Spectrum Mobile just anywhere like it is any other national cellular service provider. If you do not require the additional benefits of having multiple services from the same provider plus this subscription offer, then you would not require Spectrum internet.
