Welcome Edith! Most people use things like air cards or their own wifi hot spots if they need to be on a lot. Others just find locations that offer free wifi at their businesses.

Welcome, Edith.
Your intro post was moved to it's own thread - so you wouldn't get lost in the middle of someone else's intro.
Glad to have you with us. There are lots of threads about how we all get online - especially in the tech room. I ran a business using wifi my first year out - and have gone through just about everything except satellite. It's amazing how much better service is, almost everywhere. I use my phone (currently with AT&T) to tether. When I'm somewhere with wifi, I use it for anything that takes larger loads.

welcome from Kerrville, Texas. Where in Texas are you heading?
I have a Sprint Android phone and have a "hotspot" which costs $20 to $50 a month depending on how much you use. If I have a at least two bars, I have internet access. Don't even have to plug the computer into the phone; just have the phone nearby. If you have a good signal more than one person can use the internet at the same time. AT&T also has hotspots. Don't know about Verizon.

Welcome Edith 
Yep, like Karen, I have a hot spot on my Verizon. Got excellent service across country this past winter. There are a lot of different plans out there, so just shop around...& happy travels!

Welcome Edith from SoCal. I just use the park wifi or tether with my phone if there isn't any wifi.

Hoosier welcome
We have the Verizon share plan so we use the hotspots on our droids when we can't find a free wifi connection. Verizon is often faster that the free wifi connection but if I don't have to use my bandwidth to check email or check the boards I'll save my bandwidth for a movie on Netflix or something.

Hi Edith,
Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have you ducks all in a row, selling your house, getting a new TT and traveling. Can't comment on the WiFi as I don't travel with my computer enough to do anything like that. If I do, I just use the local WiFi if there is any or find a local free WiFi.
Have a great time in TX.

Hi, Edith from IA, from a fellow Iowan! I'm originally from Des Moines. Most of the time, I use a tether on my Android phone.
