    Does anyone know how much $ it is for the Slingbox Pro on your Windows Mobile 5/6 phone? Also, if you are wireless does it use a lot of data or does it only work with WiFi?

    Thank you

    A Slingbox Pro is about $230, and Slingbox Mobile is $30 so the total cost is about $260. Obviously you're going to want an unlimited data plan on your phone for streaming video, unless you like paying overage fees.

    Well with Verizon, their "unlimited" plans are only about 6 GB or so... Do you have to pay monthly for Mobile?

    Do you know how data intensive the Sling Mobile program is and if you have to pay monthly?

    Thanks, +rep

    1 time fee for the software, and it's probably as intensive as YouTube.
