    ...from the same company as the ESP12E module.

    Did anyone try this yet?

        Interesting find!
        AT&T (and probably others) are in process of shutting down their 2G networks though - so anyone planning to use this module should check if they will still have 2G coverage in a year (or whatever time is applicable to your project).

        Has anyone seen if it is possible to use the ESP8266 as a NAT device? ESP8266 + this module would be a super-compact mobile internet router.

          I think they all are.. 2G will be no more in the next 12 months. (may not be an issue in countries outside the USA)
