WIFI Oakbay

[scott craven]

Anybody know if you can get Wifi on the water in the Oakbay area ?

The marina has wifi, but even in my slip it isn’t the best. Doubtful anything would reach the grounds

You should be able to set up a hotspot off your phone and use data

I’m assuming he’s trying to jam out of a meeting in the office and listen off a laptop on the boat … which I approve of short of that I’d rather have phones left in a drop box at the ramp of the dock

Download to your phone and you won't need a live connection.

If using your phone, it runs off wifi or cellular data if you’re not connected to a wifi network. You may need to turn on cellular data for your phone in order to ‘stream’ music, but I’d recommend you download ahead of time.

I have downloaded files i which I can play from my phone, but will still use data which I would like avoid.

do you have an AM radio with a phone jack.

I usually download few libraries when I'm at home and that gives me some good selections. I build playlists off of the downloaded files and have never needed a live connection/data when driving in the interiod. You can also go to the phone settings and turn off data for Spotify if still worried about the extra data charge/usage.

No, but I see where you're going....

I have cellular turned off on my spotify because I was using so much of it. I just download everything when I have wifi. You can download a lot of music and podcast without using a bunch of data. You just need adequate storage space on your phone.

 

[WHO DAT]

We use Slacker radio , cache tunes listen off line. Regards

All good my man happy retirement!!!

 

[MikeyL]

Curious as to the plans available these days are 10-20gigs per month… maybe don’t video stream as much and save your data for music streaming? I have 30gb and I use about 15 max per month. Use wifi whenever you can!

 

[kaelc]

Take me fishing I have 100gb Canada/US roaming!

 

[scott craven]

Got it figured, thanks Robb!
