Thank you to everyone. So the bottom line is that I can't use FordPass at home to start or unlock the truck. It gives me the last available details (fuel, tire pressure, etc.) from when the truck was last driven somewhere that has ATT coverage.

However, you should peruse the threads that discuss how to activate (or install, vehicle dependent), remote start via keyfob for use at your home, if remote start is that important to you.

Your phone's connection to the internet is via your Verizon service
FordPass works via the internet.
You guys should all read this: https://owner.ford.com/fordpass.html
†FordPass Connect (optional on select vehicles), the Ford Pass App and Complimentary Connected Service are required for remote features (see FordPass Terms for details). Connected service and features depend on compatible AT&T network availability. Evolving technology/cellular networks/vehicle capability may limit functionality and prevent operation of connected features. Connected service excludes Wi-Fi hotspot.
