I've tested it with a tethered cellphone on a Sprint PCS MVNO, using a wifi router as a repeater to convert the wifi to wired ethernet.  That worked, pretty amazingly, but it was 4G LTE.  (Even streamed video to the big screen.)  You'd probably do even better with bluetooth or the ObiWiFi.  Tried one from a T-Mobile MVNO and kept it around for a standby backup, but it was only 3G.  It worked for phone calls, if that was the only thing on the network.

Used to have an awesome hotspot on the WiMax network for a couple of years, but Sprint bought that, kicked off the subscribers, and converted it for back end use or cannibalized the frequencies for additional bandwidth, or something.  Was never quite sure.  Was definitely p.o.ed, though, as I had a promotional freebie (with service!) that I bought from someone who won a contest but didn't live in a WiMax service area.
