Can someone tell me the cons of dropping a cell phone and getting a hot spot from a cell carrier. You could still use your old smart phone in wifi mode to make and receive calls from google voice or some other service. Instead of getting ding if you try to attach your computer or tablet to the cell phone. The hot spot will allow other other devices to use the connection. The only thing is not to go over the data limit.

While it is true that you would need to carry two devices, the cost saving seems to cover the inconvenience.

I can switch between devices without having to buy a new phone every two years.


Thanks,

Mike.
