Nowadays one can get free wifi at numerous places. I recently bought a refurbished FreedomPop Pro (3g/4g) hotspot for the rare occasions where I can't get free connection. For an one time cost of $40, I get 500 MB every month for free that I can use on 5 devices. I am currently vacationing abroad. When I get back, I plan to cancel my current $25 H2O account and get a $10 Airvoice talk-only account. The hotspot is small and can easily be put in my pocket.
