Don't bother using an internal card. If you want 4G data go to a cell carrier and get a wireless Hotspot or USB dongle.
 
With Verizon, there's no extra charge but it uses your data allotment. I have an unlimited data plan so the hotspot on my phone is disabled. I use an app called FoxFi which allows me to create a hotspot.
 
A lot of them charge for tethering. I have Cricket and I believe it would cost me $50 just to tether.
So would a dedicated hotspot. More actually, since most carriers charge a monthly fee for the hotspot as well as it using your shared data. For Cricket, I believe it costs $10/mo more to tether on your phone.
That looks very promising. I shall check this out! Thanks!
FoxFi is great but doesn't work on all phones or carriers, YMMV.
