Agreed with Graham. For true bonding you need access to both ends of the 
pipe. You can, in theory, do it with a private APN (static IPs for your 
device and a fat pipe into the operator), but that tends to cost a lot, 
especially since you have to pay data on the SIM and again for the data 
breaking out to the Internet.

What is it that you want to achieve? A "fat" point-to-point connection, 
or a fat pipe to the internet? The former can be more easily achieved 
using a private APN.

If you're looking to connect many users to the internet, then your best 
bet is to use route balancing between different devices. We used to roll 
out such beasts to schools when only GPRS was available, but with the 
advent of HSPA, it's been mostly replaced by single engine units.

regards,
   -Tiaan.
