Anyone try out these hotspots? Any opinions? The cost is comparable or cheaper to buying directly from a phone provider. Are the hotspot devices decent? Customizable?

The non profit itself seems interesting and privacy focused. Their OS seems well maintained and it "just works".

OP probably means this:

Internet Membership

Sign up for an Internet Membership and enjoy unlimited 4G or 5G mobile internet in all US states and territories.

Sounds very interesting! With such a service, I could finally throw away my phone number. That is, if this is a mobile hotspot like solution.
Its only US, though.

Am I missing something or is the price higher after the 2nd year?

Yearly: $500 for first year, $400 thereafter
Quarterly: $150 every three months

$600 for 3rd year?

Excuse me, what kind of overpricing this is? ~$50 a month is insane for phone service, what kind of perks do they add on top to justify THAT? Cheaper to just buy a truckload of anon simcards and change them like gloves.

Just hotspot, unlimited data. Also donating to a nonprofit

That is one hell of a donation, because no way unlimited data costs $50 a month :/
