If WiFi is commonly available, Google Fi is another option as it will use the WiFi signal or cellular signal depending on which will give the best connection. Google Fi uses three cellular providers, switching between them, again depending on which signal will give the best connection. The carriers are Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. Unfortunately, no carrier covers the entire US. We travel out west to visit our daughters and families. The mountains have many places with no coverage regardless of carrier. The vast stretches of desert also are lacking in coverage. If you want close to 100% coverage, some form of satellite communications would be needed, and that would rely on having a clear view of the sky so a deep valley in the mountains would also likely be a dead zone.

I looked at the mobile satellite broadband systems a year or so ago. They might be less spendy now but then they were really high. You can’t just use a residential system and move it around because the data systems are set up to access the satellites from relatively small spot-beams on the earth surface. The mobile sat providers charge a lot so you can access from multiple spots.
