Interesting discussion, I've been giving this very thing a lot of thought lately.
I don't need any more phone service than my antique Nokia provides, and feel zero need for app's. What I'm interested in is internet service for road trips. As it is now, I tote a laptop when I travel, which is often, and visit public libraries and dine in restaurants that provide a signal. At home I use a desktop PC, and a cable ISP. I have the cell phone, but no land line or cable TV, speaking of frugality. So what I'm wondering is.....
Can I get a smart phone that also acts as an ISP? I have been told that I could run a cable from it to my home computer, and/or my laptop, to get internet access wherever and whenever I please. Then I could discontinue my ISP and cell service. Sounds a little too good to be true to me?
This is one of the very few times I wish I had a kid or two..........
