Hard to say. It will depend on which of the various frequencies the 
nearest cellular network is using and what the phone supports. It would 
be illegal to use in the UK - but not to sell them to punters :(

What will limit its utility in the end is the time gating on mobile 
masts so that they refuse connections from more than ~35 miles away 
(that figure for UK networks I don't know what it is in the USA).

I have a pair of passive yagi antennae and a Mifi with external antenna 
capability that will let me connect to remote nodes provided that there 
is direct line of sight and they are not too far away. No use in a car 
since the highly directional antennas need careful pointing.

It was useful to get a fast reliable data link to the mobile network in 
an area like mine with poor signal (and even worse wired ADSL service).
