I on the other hand will do nothing using a cell phone. IMHO, JMHO not secure enough and if it was, there is the issue of using your phone data, many phone contracts prohibit you from doing so, being tethered, and not being able to use the phone on some, etc.
I would never do any banking using a cell phone period. Just saying that is 'MY' reason for not using a cell phone for internet access.
When I went full time I bought a Sprint USB broadband. I plug in a USB stick into my computer, secure and I have internet anywhere with my laptop. In the MH or out in the woods!
I bought it in 2004 and I am still using the same usb stick. Albiet I am grandfathered in with unlimited data. The newer ones have data plans but at least you don't have to worry about using all you data up on your phone plan which is usually less data and more expensive anyway.
A Sprint USB broadband "stick" is just a cell phone. Take a look in the detail information for the USB stick and you will find the phone number of that device. You are not anymore or any less secure using a USB stick, a Mi-Fi device or your phone as a hotspot. They all use the same technology and the same cell towers.
