    yeah. One of my dreams is a feature phone with internet tethering capability so I can just use a standard tablet or laptop with it.

      Ooh, that’s an interesting idea. Not sure if it exists - using my Treo years ago as a Hotspot was pretty challenging, and it was an early smart phone.

      Many laptops today have a SIM slot - just get a cheap data plan. You can also get a cell card that plugs into USB. Back in the day we had PCCARD slot cell cards. That was nice.

      Xfinity had a deal when we switched from Verizon - a data-only Sim for $10/mo that uses the shared data on our plan. Great for the iPad.

        yeah would love to do it though without a smart phone. Oh also im pretty sure it does not exist. I look for something like it every so often. I basically don’t bother with a cell phone just use google voice and my work one.
