Since you're using TMobile, an option to
consider is "hot spot at home"

T-mobile has phones which zig back and forth
between the standard cellular network, AND will,
where available, use an 802.11 ("wifi") base.

If you've got high speed internet in Houston,
it's worth looking into. You can use any
standard wifi base or t-mobile's one.
