My suggestion is to use the Vonet VAR11N Mini Bridge/Wireless router or similar unit. I believe these units support multiple wireless hotspot connections in a prioritized manner. This mean that if you setup multiple SSID's and passwords for different WiFi hotspots the unit will connect to whatever hotspot is available at the time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Mark<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>K7IZA<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>http://micro-node.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Doug Crompton<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, November 06, 2014 2:42 PM<br><b>To:</b> Robert Newberry; app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [App_rpt-users] Portanode<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Robert,<br><br>No not at all as far as tone.

In any case you would need to create a wifi hotspot on your phone and then either use the wifi adapter on the BBB or a stand-alone Ethernet to wifi adapter.
