looks neat but it doesn't go into details on how you go about "receiving internet".
you have to put your phones sim card into it? or?

Yes, you put a sim card in it. Dont know what kind of service you could get in your country. But prepaid data plan should be possible to get were you select x GB to surf from.

depends on your location. i have 3g stick, in city centre, public, open spaces it works great, maximizing speed, like even up to 100mbps, but for me at home at least it can't even get to 3g so it's sticking to edge/gprs which means like 25kbps speed

hows it work though? I was looking at the link madsession posted and it looks like it requires a sim card, which im assuming you take the one out of your phone and put into it?
cause if thats all those sim card usb adapters do another option for me would be to get 1 month of unlimited data and one of these usb adapters and boom, unlimited internet (assuming that it counts as the normal data and not hotspot data for some reason)
ive also noticed that when i hook up a phone to my laptop to charge there is an internet option, im wondering which way that goes, would it be my laptop giving the phone internet or my phone giving my laptop internet, cause if my phone can pump out internet to my laptop though a usb charging cable then i dont need to buy one of these adapters.
so much to look up, so much testing to do >.>

yes, just tried it and yeah the phone gives the laptop internet, my next question/test is to see if this "tethering" uses the same data as hot spot. because i can get unlimited data but not unlimited hot spot data, which if it uses hot spot data its not much different than just hot spotting wirelessly

If you have a smartphone (I've done it with Andriod, iOS should have an equivalent feature too) you can just plug the phone via usb and share the connection. This works both for 3/4G and Wi-Fi.
It's a bit cumbersome because everytime you unplug it and plug it again the configuration is lost, you you have to go to the settings to enable it again.

About to go traveling soon and was wondering if anyone knew of anything that would work for the purpose of receiving internet for month. Satellite/cell tower/etc?
Currently the only option I have is to hot spot off a metro pcs phone but that only gives 3gb of fast speed before the internet turns so crappy you can barely even load a webpage in a minute. There is the option of paying $5 per 500mb additional which is not super great but isnt too bad either.
Any ideas would be welcomed.
Additional information that may be needed/helpful >.>. This would be for Florida/Tallahassee region.
