Steve,

AT&T sells a mobile hotspot. They come with there own SIM card (phone number) and can be added to your existing data/phone plan. For greater signal strength when offshore, look at the Wilson cellular boosters. We used one for years on the RV and it increased signal by at least 1 bar. Haven’t used it on the boat because I don’t want to make any holes to run the external antenna down to the booster.

This all begs the question of the availability of cell signal. Where we
operate in the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior we are more likely than not
to have no cell service. However, for a number of years we did run a Wilson
amplifier with a suitably mounted marina cell antenna. It helped some. But
an amplifier cannot boost no signal.
