The poll is missing probably most used option from: get another phone.

I use second hand Ebay phones for each of my ROVR devices. iPhone X/Xs with Helium = $70 + $20/month

For hosting, it can be difficult getting people to give up use of their main phone - especially when I am trying to target full-time drivers. To make things easier on both sides, I now provide used phones with pre-loaded SIMs to my hosts in exchange for taking a smaller portion of the split.

I think if you are going to spend roughly $2700 on a ROVR LC, then the cost of an additional phone and SIM is negligible when looking at earnings. For the sake of maximizing profit, you are better off getting a dedicated phone for this device.

Things are a bit different with the TX as the rewards are so much lower. Buying a secondary phone + mount for use with the TX can practically double your ROI time. While it would be nice to say that the TX is a good “background earner”, The constant use of the phone and inability to multitask makes it very hands-on.

While I hate to compare ROVR to Hivemapper, I do like Hivemappers approach to the ‘all in one’ device. If ROVR had an all-in-one device I think it would be much easier to scale worldwide.

I have an old iPhone 11 laying around , put a SIM in the tray and using it as my rovr device

My main phone remains for CarPlay usage

Actually I have a seperate photo for Rovr only

I have 2 Helium phones, and one of them is used for Rovr. I use the Helium Zero plan and so far it has enough data to handle Rovr for the month.

I ended up using my regular iPhone, I just put a usb stick with music in my car 🤣 I don’t touch my phone while driving anyways. If I remember it does break the bluetooth calling though. (at least in my car)
