Benefit of cellular vs. wifi?

[kelseyjay]

Hi everyone,

What do you see as the biggest benefits of having cellular data with the Electron rather than just wifi?
If I have wifi in my house, does it make any difference to have cellular data?

If you like the cellular option, what are some of your favorite uses/projects with cellular? (normal or crazy, I’d love to hear them all)

Thanks!
Kelsey
