Togo Roadlink C2 - AT&T Unlimited Data Plan
Just reading about the Togo Roadlink C2 and the AT&T $30 per month Unlimited Data Plan that is available with it.
I understand the hardware is essentially the Winegard Connect 2.0 4G LTE.
Has anyone checked to see if that same AT&T unlimited plan deal could be made available to those of us where the Winegard Connect 2.0 4G LTE came standard with our Thor RV? I plan to contact Thor to check.

I’d call AT&T directly...
Didn’t have to buy a Mobley from them to get that deal (which I still have)... I expect if the equipment is compatible, they will take your money...

The TOGO uses a SIM card to access the data. The Winegard Connect2 does not have the capability to use the SIM. The TOGO also works like the Connect2 to boost existing wifi signals from campground, etc. But the great part is, using the SIM with data plan, you can't beat $360 per year for unlimited data. So, the real answer to your question would be "no", you can't add a data plan to the Connect2. You could call Wingard to see if they may be introducing an upgrade kit that would add a SIM card slot, and software/firmware to run it. The TOGO is $400 from Wingard, $389 0n Amazon with no tax outside of Alabama and no shipping charge if using Prime (may have free shipping without Prime, I'm not sure).

Now that I think about it, the new Wingard with 4G being installed on 2020 models may actually be the TOGO. Thor introduced it on some 2020 models before the official TOGO name was used. If that's the case, then your all set. You just need to determine if yours has that SIM card.

This is the best video out there so far regarding the TOGO. If yours looks like this with the SIM slot he shows, just follow this video using the 2 apps, purchse the data on the app and you, my friend have full, unlimited wifi. It is soooo worth it. They also have the $25 plan for 5gb of data if all you need is basic internet and email. Using it to stream and watch TV would eat 5gb in no time. That plan is basically pay each month as needed.

Thank you all.
Yes my Winegard supports 4G LTE service via sim card from either AT&T or Verizon. I am using AT&T. From what I can tell, this deal is tied to the sim card that comes with the Togo device.
I tried to get a similar deal last year from ATT, and they said the device had to be a tablet. That it would not work with the Winegard.

TOGO is actually a partnership company comprised of Thor Industries and Tourism Holdings. They partnered with Wingard for the platform and with AT&T for the data plan. So, the $360 data plan is only for TOGO specific. But, if I were you, I would contact AT&T again and see if they will match the price for your data plan to avoid having to pay another $400 for a new unit. Worse they can say is "no". Insist on speaking to a supervisor or Promotions Rep.

ATT is asking what vehicle I would be connecting with Sounds like you need Onstar or something similar.

Shouldn’t need Onstar or similar... The service is intended for RV’s...
My guess is they want to avoid what happened with Mobleys. That was sold as ‘Connected Car’, but didn’t take long for people to figure out the Mobley didn’t need a car, and the $20/month was a great deal.
I still have/use the Mobley, or I would be looking at this deal too.

I recently purchased the TOGO. I didn't have to talk to anyone at AT&T to get it set up. You can buy data through the Winegard app or go to att.com/togo. I had to enter the IMEI number of the device as well as the ICCID number on the SIM card before logging into the website. My guess is that this is how they are limiting who can get the plan. I'm guessing Winegard provides a list of IMEIs that qualify for this specific plan.

Just purchased a 25.3 Vega with the Winegard TOGO Roadlink C2 installed. when setting it up the system crashed and now has the login locked up. When calling AT&T there does not seem to be anyone that has knowledge of the "AT&T Connected RV Annual Unlimited Plan" which is a yearly $360 payment. If anyone has a contact for this plan please post it.
The unit works well as a wifi extender and I feel being mounted on the roof it will be a great 4G LTE device.

During the setup you had to use the phone app. Did you change the password? If not, it is printed on the paperwork. If you can't login, you might have to contact Winegard support. There is a process that involves resetting the unit. In advanced options of the app there is a reset button. It sets everything back defaults.
There is also button that says "buy data" in the app. It links to an ATT account setup page.
Make sure you are connected to the Winegard network when trying to use the app.

By the way... the ICCID number that you'll be asked for when buying the data is printed on the SIM card. It's a 20 digit number. You'll have to go up on the roof with a philips screwdriver to get that number unless they actual thought to put it on your paperwork. You might also want to bring a magnifier. It's a tiny number.
The IMEI number should be on the Winegard paperwork.

TOGO Roadlink C2 range from RV
Does anyone know what the range or distance from the RV that you can access your wifi network using this device?

The book says 500 ft for 2.4 Ghz signal and 200 ft for 5 Ghz. These wave lengths are adsorbed or reflected by most everything so your results will very.

Just an update to my installation . I was able to contact the RV Data department at 800-331-0500 asking for “mobility Air Stream”, they could not clear up the error but were able to delete the account that had been set up and had my unit locked to that account. At that point I was able to replace the SIM card and set up a new account on a computer using the url byasession.att.com.
This set up went normally and the device works great. Took much patience but was worth it for the price of the plan for unlimited data.

TOGO Data Plan Change for 2020
Just saw this update to the ATT plan for the TOGO. It's not good news. To sum it up. ATT determined that the $360 a year unlimited plan was not sustainable due to the way RVer's were using it. The plan goes away in 2020. The TOGO will be unlocked to work on all carriers and plans are basically the typical horrible data plans that all other devices can get.
Those of us with a current unlimited plan will not be able to renew and keep unlimited. It's now my intention to use it almost exclusively until the timer runs out! It's BS but I'm not really surprised.

We recently bought the Togo and the ATT plan. I feel scammed. We bought a $400 device to use for years with a plan that had zero indication of a termination. I have requested a refund from Togo for the unit.
