Having the phone hot spot as an option has helped me many, many times, from extricating myself from a bad infrastructure setup and deal to being able to find information in the hinterlands - our equivalent of the outback. It may be slower or have underwhelming bandwidth, but it is far better than nothing. I use it a lot on road trips, perhaps most often to access gasbuddy.com to find the best prices on petrol in unfamiliar territory. But the best application was when I took a trip by train, and the last leg of the trip encountered a delay of a few hours. That meant I would miss my final connection, from the Miami station to the public buses which would get me back to Key West. They stop running fairly early in the evening, and that meant I'd have to secure lodging for the night. Thanks to the hot spot and laptop, I was able to manage this from where we were, out in cattle country, finding a $30 bed in a hostel in ritzy South Beach, plus which buses to take in and out, so that when we finally made it to the station, I was all set.
That's an extreme example, but the hot spot has been one of the most useful capabilities of my phone, something I'd never thought would prove so helpful when I added it.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
