Smartphone can be used as a hotspot to drive Laptop or Tablets for data, or in the bush sim can be pulled out and put in a Blue tick phone (T100) and connected to the laptop via USB cable and mobile phone aerial above the TV aerial in the caravan connected to the T100 in poor signal areas.
Have a backup Telstra blue tick phone on the yearly cover for outback travel with a Telstra 3G/4G modem.

Our phones are blue tick and as you say they are great hotspots. We use a lot of data each month and some calls overseas and the Boost certainly suits our needs. The low data sim only services are now very economical.

If you don't need heaps of data, Belong offers unlimited calls/texts in Oz for $10 a month, and for another $5 a month, unlimited overseas calls. Very good deal.

1GB a month data *but* with unqualified rollover. I've had a Belong account for about four months and am very happy with their service. They use the Telstra retail network, same as Aldi. I *think* Boost use the Telstra wholesale (ie full) network.
Just got an email from BOOST this morning and they have increased their data offered on their mobile plans.
