“I need a way to access the internet while out 'in field' with my full-time job. Not all the locations I am in have free WiFi. When I used the iPad I had a data plan with AT&T, do I had an option to purchase monthly data/internet?”

There is no embedded mobile broadband in this device. So the simple answer to your question is no. You can however buy a mobile hotspot from AT&T or another provider. This is a little device that creates a WiFi network that you could join from the Chromebook. Look for Unite Explore 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot for AT&t or the Jetpack 4G LTE from Verizon. Most of the time you can just add it to your current cell plan. If you have a smart phone you can also talk to your provider about tethering your phone to the Chromebook. Tethering uses your phone as a modem and normally can be done with a USB cable or WiFi the same way the hotspots work. There are Pros and Cons of each but if you need to talk on the phone and work online, I would suggest the dedicated hotspot.
