I can't see why not - 4G devices are normally 'backwards compatible', so even if you are in an area with only 3G coverage (or worse), it should work. You will probably need a local SIM card, and may need to download a configuration file from your chosen Service Provider (usually sent as a Service Text, I believe).

Users of Vodaphone dongles may know differently

Bear in mind that if you have an Android 'phone and a data package, then you should be able to use the 'phone as a 'hotspot' which avoids having two separate data packages...
