I like the idea of this as a second device that has phone capabilities. I wish it were easy/quick to switch between multiple devices on the same cell plan. I don't particularly want to go out running with my google pixel, better to use my 4 year old phone for that. I could see taking the Ektra out on a hike if I could toggle it on as the activated device without going through the hoops of calling verizon.

Wow, I really like this idea. It could open up entire new segments of products that improve with some occasional needs for cellular network capabilities. I've never been taken by the idea of getting a gadget that can use a cellular data connection because I already hate paying for the one I do have, I don't want another transaction for more data that I have to monitor and not buy too much of. I feel like that's part of the reason it never caught on with mobile gaming devices like the PS Vita etc.

Google Fi actually allows you to have multiple SIM cards on the same plan, for free. The cards are data only, so it won't work for phone calls, but it would be fine for uploading photos, listening to music, SMS, etc.

Hi, this is a great idea. I'm curious if you would pay a little extra (say $5/month) to have say, up to 3 devices? What about if they could all just stay active? Just curious about it as a mental exercise.

Yes, I would pay a little more. $5/mo is the max -- any more than that I would probably just do a family plan or something. I would prefer something nominal like $2/per device/per month

That WOULD be neat.
