There are three major Cell providers. Verizon. T-Mobile and AT&T.. MOST of the other companies buy from them and resell, due to fact they guarantee a large block they can discount.I tried the T-Mobile solution, but was just out of range of their antenna. I could pick up the signal, barely. The connection dropped a lot, and was super slow in the evening when a lot of people were using it. We had that same issue a few years ago when we tried their cell service for phones. Lots of dropped calls and broken connections. So this solution really depends on how close you are to a tower that supports T-Mobile. Otherwise I would use it in a heartbeat.
There are other companies but those are the big 3.. Sadly no single company provides 100% cell coverage Hughes and Star Link are expensive. but.. They are as close as you get to 100% coverage.
