I have upgraded my dedicated Android to something better then the phone in original post. Although the idea of a super cheap phone for this is appealing, I found a phone of better quality required less fiddling to work efficiently.
Original post:
This may be the wrong section, but I chose here because I specifically set this up for Highway Radar.
1. $20 Tracphone from Amazon. I did not connect the cellular service. (See link below)
2. Establish a hotspot connection with iPhone.
3. For less battery drain, connect iPhone and cheap Android via Bluetooth
4. Edit: I no longer recommend this step of a Bluetooth app:
Load Android app “Bluetooth Auto Connect” on cheap Android. Play with the settings to force a permanent connection between both phones when they are in range. (Update: It is now a subscription app for about $12 a year)
5. Enjoy having Highway Radar work with no second data bill.
Note. This phone is locked for Tracfone only. It works great as a data phone without connecting cellular service.
