Sometimes you need wifi. Having connection on your phone may not be enough. Maybe you live in a remote area and there's no dedicated landline internet ...
Sometimes, you just need a portable Wifi router. There's a few out there and Alcatel now has out the $170 Go-Fi on Telus.
The big issue is that you'll have to get it its own pricing plan for it. Which can be expensive. The device is only $170 (or free if you sign for 2 years, plus a $15 SIM activation).
The plans on Telus start at $10 for 100MB (yeesh, I'll kill that in a couple hours), or up to $65 for 6GB (yet the flex plan would charge you $70, or go up to $85 for 10GB).
Still not enough for me.
But, maybe it'll be cheaper than what I'm using now. Maybe I ditch the voice option of my phone, and just carry this device around with me. It'd be $45 for 2GB ... I use about 2.5 or so per month. Maybe I just watch it a little stronger... hrmm. That would be a little cheaper than my current plan.
