How do I get 3/4G capability for my Macbook?

[UKPoliticsGuy]

Hello all,

I require 3/4G capability on my Macbook Pro. I've scoped the market and so far can only find dongles, which are fine but chunky looking things.

Is there a more discrete solution?

Best,

UPG.

There a MiFi routers which work with SIM cards and put out a WiFi you could join.

Tether your laptop to your phone.

Tether your laptop to your phone.

I would, but it would drain my phone battery. Y'know, iPhone baterry life and all that

And if you connect your iPhone via USB to your Mac?

Sadly only what simsaladimbamba said works since is refusing to integrate cellular into their macbooks.

You could use a USB cellular modem.

Another one for tether to the phone.

I work on call regularly and I tether my phone via wifi to my MBA.

Putting aside the obvious potential speed issues that may occur, it's a solution that works well for me.

I too USB charge my phone (Android) via the MBA if I expect to be dealing with the call for a while.
