Integrating mobile features into a computer system Enhancing a desktop or laptop with cellular functions
Here’s a revised version of your text:
So, I have the project. I’m planning to handle the tasks that a smartphone can manage on a computer—such as making calls, sending texts, and connecting to the internet via 4G LTE. Honestly, today’s phones are essentially basic handheld computers with mobile networking features. What I see on eBay is overpriced products aimed at careless millennials, packed with unnecessary apps and games. I found this item here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-PCI-E-Adap...ondition=3 Sierra AirPrime MC7700 100Mbps HSPA+ 4G LTE 700MHz WWAN module Card+GPS | eBay Components Included: sierra wireless MC7700 PCI-E 4G CARD X 1 PCS. Model No MC7700. Technologies HSDPA, LTE, DC-HSPA, HSPA+, EDGE, GPRS, GSM. Supports multiple input/output (MIMO) for LTE use. www.ebay.com https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-Networ...0005.m1851. Will this equipment perform the functions I need?
These devices could be the reason for the Wi-Fi problems, not the cellular service. Which carrier is involved? These cards usually work with one or two providers. Wouldn't it be better to use an external modem instead? The ones from Netgear you mentioned https://www.netgear.com/home/products/mo...B1120.aspx
Existing smartphones are equipped with cellular capabilities. However, there isn't any software available to place calls or send texts using cellular networks on Windows systems—only data transfer is possible through the devices already built-in.

If you decide to proceed, choose a data-only cellular plan, then add a VoIP solution for calls, and a similar option for texting. That way, you’ll only manage IP packets. Many laptops come with built-in cellular capability (check business models), and external modems work well for desktops.
