Double Ditto Here
- Already doing that with my ancient ACER W4
but the Android unit I was using to feed it has lost the plot.
So I am looking again fro a tether phone,
- my Ubuntu E5 battery is also no longer holding its own either.

This idea of using a TIZEN or Sailfish as a modem
might actually be workable,
- blocking an Android with all the bells and whistles chirping
back to whatever spook hq seems like a hopeless hack,
but maybe we can get a Tizen locked down enough to trust ?
I have seen one locally, maybe I will have another look....

... Now you can get a cheap dumb-ish water resistant phone with a giant battery pod function...
