Apple even makes one: it'd called an iPhone. ::-) Depending on your particular plan with your provider, the addition of a simple way to turn on a mobile hotspot in iOS 8 and certain models of the iPhone is quite nice. I use it all the time with my iPhone 6 and it works great! My daughter in the back seat of the car with her iPod can ask and I can turn it on for her so she can sent a picture to her mom, or download some more on the game she is playing. I use it to connect my laptop when I need to use a "real" computer for something and there is little or no wifi available. Or even if there is, LTE is usually way faster than the sketchy wifi in most coffee shops. I even turned off my expensive month-to-month plan on my iPad 3G because the 4G LTE in the iPhone is sooooo much faster. I don't need an extra MiFi; I gotta iPhone. Of course John has MiFis of different carriers so he can always catch a signal no matter where he is, but I bet he can reduce his device count slightly by using his phone for one of the hot spots. j. -- Jonathan Fletcher FileMaker Certified Developer (9-13) FileMaker Business Alliance Fletcher Data Consulting [email protected] http://www.fletcherdata.com 502-509-7137
