Just activated mine today - we'll see how it works...
Adds to my arsenal of ways to stay connected as I often work on road too...
Currently:
- Picostation to receive/distribute available wifi signal through router to internal RV network... IF I happen to be someplace with decent WIFI...
- Comcast modem for long stays at locations serviced by Comcast connected to same router (hope not to use this one again - but was primary for multiple 3+ month winter stays...)
- AT&T Mobley as described above (have to tie this into my router still - but can direct connect up to 5 devices)
- Verizon phone hotspot as backup... but avoided due to cost. Used only if nothing else works and I have to get online.

I've been researching the Mobley. I know by default it is powered by the OBD port. I've been trying to determine if it's doing something to sense the car is running and only provide the hotspot when the car is running (obviously, that wouldn't be good for RV).
