This is kind of what I did in Japan. I got an unlock Huawei mifi of some sort (don't remember the exact model number) and had my SIL get an "unlimited" SIM card for it [basically unlimited data but at a slow speed but OK for what I needed it for -- Japan market thing]. I then used my iPad and the iPhones and the MacBook over the mifi. I left it on all day (recharged it on trains etc when I had a chance) but had a Sanyo eneloop "mobile booster" that I left it plugged into so I had extra battery for it and/or my phone. http://us.sanyo.com/eneloop-mobile-booster/eneloop-Mobile-Booster-KBC-L2 . Just left the Mifi in my cargo pants pocket or my backpack side pocket as the case was. Then we also had a local prepaid SIM card my SIL got us in an old Nokia phone so that we could call locally as needed. With iMessage you can text each other as long as you have a network like through the Mifi. Chad
