Mick, I'll vouch that the Victron solution works great. You need a GSM carrier, TMobile works as well as others, AT&T for one. The GSM piece is important, Verizon won't work with this.
Another approach is to do a Mifi box with Verizon, then just use it as a wireless hotspot like any WiFi network. No problems with the single Victron that we have out there. Good luck!
