We just got back from our trip and were up in Michigan UP and had plenty of areas with zero phone reception so no hot spot would work there. My advice is to see where you will be going a lot and if they have cell coverage, then you can go with what some of the other posters had mentioned. If there is no coverage then Starlink is about your only choice

With the proper support devices, cell booster, mimo antenna or yagi antenna on a 16' painters pole, I've never not had cell reception. Even out in the desert or miles from civilization in a forest. There is always a cell tower somewhere. You just need to reach out to it.

We have a cell booster, tall pole yagi antenna. Your results are different than mine. We often are camping where the nearest cell tower is 25-50 miles away and/or we are in a forested area in a valley long way from cell tower. No cell service no matter what.

Now in places where cell towers are closer, yes our booster has given us anywhere from full service including streaming to at least access to text and calls when others have zip service and no bars.
