Portable hotspots are nice, sure - I do have one. Still feel like it'd be more convenient to have cellular connectivity built right in though; you always have some connectivity then provided you're not too remote.
I've considered switching to Google Fi solely because they provide data-only SIMs associated with your normal plan that I could then pop into a laptop. (Rather than making you pay twice as most providers do.)
Haven't been able to justify it yet though, I'm on a pretty good grandfathered plan at the moment.

My understanding is that's what Google Fi does: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6330195?hl=en https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6330195?hl=en They seem to be nearly the only ones, at least that I've found. (But I'd be glad to find more!)
