Hello all,

This isn't that big a deal. Here is a page that lists affordable options
you can purchase in line with your mobile contract:

I use my hotspot for work travel as I don't trust the hotel and airport
wifi.

Be secure and have online access at the same level that you have mobile
phone access.
