Internet you turn on like a light switch.
$10 a month holds your spot on the network. $4 a day on the days you're actually out there. That's the whole plan — no contract, and no 12-month bill for a rig that spends most of the year parked.
How many days a month do you really need it?
Days you're camping — or days you'd need a backup when your main connection quits. Everything here is per month, because that's how internet is sold and how you think about the bill. We're comparing against our own $79/mo unlimited, because that's the honest one to hold ourselves to.
An Insty LITE system is $349 — at 6 days a month it pays for itself in about 8 months, and then it just keeps saving.
And you're never stuck with the choice. There's a plan store in the app — move up to Unlimited for a busy season, drop back to On-Demand when the rig's parked. No contracts, and you pick the new plan yourself.
Plan prices, before tax, from our published price list — so it's a like-for-like comparison. A day is $4 on the plan and lands around $4.59 once taxes and fees are on it; the "with tax" figure above uses that. A day runs until midnight. Hardware is a separate one-time purchase. Current as of August 2026.
Alright — what's the catch?
There are four, and you'd find every one of them eventually. We'd rather you find them here.
1You need our hardware.
$4/day doesn't buy you a magic SIM — it's a plan that runs on an Insty system. LITE starts at $349, one time. That's the real number, and it's why the calculator above puts it right next to what you'd save.
2The $10 is real, even in the driveway.
It keeps your SIM live and your spot on the network held. That's what makes it hot standby — it's ready the second you are, instead of taking days to re-provision. Ten dollars a month to never think about it.
3It's $4 and change, and a day ends at midnight.
The plan price is $4; with taxes and fees a day lands around $4.59. We say "$4 and change" because that's the truth. And what it buys is the calendar day — switch on at four in the afternoon and you're online until midnight.
4Out half the month? Don't buy this.
Past about 14 days a month the daily rate stops winning and Unlimited at $79/mo is the better deal. It's the same hardware either way, so we've got no reason to talk you into the wrong plan — and it's not a decision you're locked into anyway. Here's the plan store you'd switch in →
The plan store, in the app. Tap Start and that's the whole process.
There's a plan store in the app.
Buy the system once, then pay for whatever suits the season. Every plan we sell is right there in the app — pick a different one whenever how you're travelling changes.
- On-Demand$10/mo, then $4 a day when you switch it on
- Single-Network Unlimited$79/mo on T-Mobile's 5G network
- Multi-Network Unlimited$139/mo on T-Mobile and Verizon, failing over between them for the widest coverage
- Data packages2 GB to 50 GB, $19–$69, if you just need a little
- Canada Unlimited$89 for 30 days when you cross the border
Head out for a summer of remote work, run Multi-Network, then drop back to $10/mo when the rig's parked. That's the part the big carriers won't sell you.
No contracts — a couple of the plans just ask for a short minimum: Single-Network runs a month at a time, Multi-Network and the specialty plans two. And when you're done travelling for a while you don't cancel anything — you pause the plan in your account, and $5/mo holds your spot until you're back.
No edits, no cuts — join the Wi-Fi, tap the blue button, punch in the text code, you're online.
Three taps at the campsite. Or none.
The antenna goes where the signal is — a window, the ladder, the roof — and one cable runs to our router. Ten minutes with a screwdriver, and then you never touch it again.
Open the app, tap Enable Now, type in the code we text you. You're online in about twenty seconds, and you're online until midnight.
Switch on Auto-Enable and the system starts the day by itself the moment somebody in the rig reaches for the internet. Set the sensitivity low and a stray notification won't start a paid day.
It's the same app that handles everything else — live signal, which carrier you're on, a speed test, and dragging Starlink or campground Wi-Fi above or below cellular when you want to.
We threw a working Starlink into the woods.
One take, no edits. Starlink is the main source, Insty is sitting quiet on On-Demand. The dish goes down — and the system wakes itself up, charges the card, and takes over before the stream even buffers.
That whole rescue cost $4 and change. Not $79 a month for a spare plan that sits there all year on the off-chance. It's the clearest thing we can show you about what a daily plan is actually for.
People whose rig sits still more than it rolls
Which, honestly, is most of us. The industry priced mobile internet for full-timers and left everyone else paying twelve months for four.
Weekend campers
Out Friday, back Sunday, a couple of times a month. You've been quoted $79–$160 a month for that. This is more like $20.
Summer & seasonal rigs
Three good months and a long winter in storage. Pay for the three. Hold your spot through the nine.
Snowbirds
South for the season, home for the rest. One plan that follows the schedule instead of fighting it.
Starlink owners
Keep the dish as your main. Cellular sits quiet at $10/mo and takes over automatically when trees or weather take it down. More on that here →
Hunting, fishing, ball tournaments
Anything where you're somewhere with no signal for a week and then not again until next season.
The "we don't need it every day" family
You want it to work when the kids are bored in the rain and you don't want to pay for it when they're not.
And if you're out there most of the year working online — you want Unlimited, not this. Same hardware, same app.
One system. Two ways in.
Both run On-Demand, both use the same app, and both fail over between cellular, Starlink and campground Wi-Fi on their own.
Insty Connect LITE
Plug-and-play: an antenna with the 5G modem built inside it, one USB cable, our router. Real speeds of roughly 40–200 Mbps depending on where you're parked. eSIM-capable, so we can set your plan up anytime, anywhere.
Build with LITE →Insty Connect Explorer
The modular flagship: gigabit PoE up to 150 ft, our fastest 5G modem, roughly 50–500 Mbps real-world, and long-range antennas for when you're parked well outside anyone's coverage map.
Compare systems →Sale pricing applies to complete systems bought with an Insty data plan. Speeds vary with signal, tower load and plan — these are honest ranges, not promises.
We built this because nobody would sell it to us.
We're a family that camps. We got tired of paying for internet eleven months a year to use it one, and none of the big carriers were ever going to invent a daily plan — it's not in their interest.
So we did. On-Demand is the first daily mobile-internet plan in this industry, and it exists because we're small enough to care about the person who camps a couple of weekends a month. When you reach out, you're talking to one of us.

The things people actually ask
$4 and change — the plan price is $4, and taxes and fees put it around $4.59 on the bill. That buys the calendar day, running through midnight, with no data cap on it. The $10/mo sits underneath holding your spot whether you use a single day that month or not: use it zero days in January and January costs you $10.
No contract. A couple of plans ask for a short minimum — Single-Network runs a month at a time, Multi-Network and the specialty plans two — and beyond that you change your mind whenever you like, in the plan store.
And when you're done travelling for a season, you don't cancel: you pause the plan from your account, and $5/mo holds your spot on the network until you're ready again. No cancellation fee, and no waiting on a new SIM in the mail when you come back.
You do — activation happens over the cellular network, so if you're parked somewhere showing "No Service" you'll need to reposition the antenna or start the day before you drop into the hole. Worth knowing if you camp deep in the trees. It's the honest limitation of the thing.
You move up in the plan store, right in the app — Single-Network Unlimited at $79/mo, or Multi-Network at $139/mo if you want T-Mobile and Verizon both. Then you drop back down to On-Demand when the season ends. That's the point of buying the system rather than a plan: the hardware never changes, only what you're paying for it.
That's one of its best jobs. Starlink plugs into our router and stays your number-one source; On-Demand sits underneath at $10/mo and takes over the moment the dish drops — a paid day only starts when it's actually needed. There's a whole page on that setup.
On-Demand days run on T-Mobile's 5G network — the big one, and the one most people are on. If you want a second carrier behind it, the plan store in the app has Multi-Network at $139/mo, which runs T-Mobile and Verizon and fails over between them. It's a monthly plan, and you can move onto it for a season and back off again whenever you like.
We buy direct from the providers, so you're getting priority data rather than the slow roaming a lot of resold plans give you. And the modem lives inside the antenna, outside the rig — a much stronger link than a hotspot sitting on the dashboard. Our long-range antennas exist for the places where even that isn't enough.
Either current system runs On-Demand. Most people who want a daily plan start with LITE at $349 — it's the simplest and cheapest way in, and you can upgrade antennas later without replacing the whole thing. Go Explorer at $649 if you camp in fringe signal or want the maximum speed and expandability.
