What part specifically is against the TOS? Using it in an dongle vs. a phone? I'd like to explore the option as I'm sure they don't have enough $$ to pick up a smartphone.

What wireless range would the SO SIM card be on?

2. SO UMB is not full internet so even if you can, it is limited to browsing only
3. technically, you can.

I'm working with a refugee family new to Canada and trying to get them the cheapest possible access to the internet.

Is it possible to use a SO SIM card in a USB dongle, plug it into their (donated) laptop to allow them basic web browsing capabilities? Which dongle would you recommend? (Are there specific wireless ranges it needs to support?)

As much info as possible would be helpful! I've never used data/SIM cards before (I have a "dumb" phone provided through work) so this is fairly new to me.

Thanks!
