Cool Small caveat....

I believe that using the cellphone as a hotspot is a good alternative, while traveling.

However, you will not able to talk on the phone and use the internet at the same time. If you [or your spouse] are using the hotspot function and a call comes in, it will disconnect the internet.

New 4G phones might be different, but you should check first. Also, read the small print on your unlimited plan. Many of them throttle back the speed to 3G or even Edge (Verizon) after 5GB. The Verizon Edge network is painfully slow.

Surf on . . .
