Was thinkning of getting a 4G mifi to take away in UK and for abroad.  Looking at the above  unit, seems to get good reviews so just wondering if anyone has used this or any other TP Link items??  I know Huwei also get good reviews but battery life seems
better on this model.

Thanks

    2 things BB, for streaming video etc and when abroad to share a data connection on PAYG.  £30 SIM from 3 for 12GB data is a lot less than a phone contract and you can swap SIM providers if the chosen one has no coverage or when abroad use a local provider.

    Plus its a gadgetWinking

    Because the data on a MiFi unit is often cheaper than that in your mobile contract. I have a 12gb sim, which lasts 12 months, from 3 for my MiFi device which cost me only £30. I also have a contract for an EE tablet, which serves as a 4G MiFi device, which
    gives me 10gb per month for £9. 

    I am not sure if there are any phone contacts that can match this, but no doubt someone will correct me!

    I use my phone as a hotspot in the UK, to enable us to use our tablets, as I have unlimited data.

    But I've just bought a mifi and Three sim to use abroad, as I cannot use the Three hotspot abroad.

    We just use our 3 MiFi as a cheap additional method of getting a high speed internet connection. We have phones on EE and O2, so  will almost always have a phone connection, but not always 3 or 4G. If both of these fail and the 3 shows a signal, I can nip
    and buy a top up at the local supermarket, or news agent. Otherwise it just sits in the drawer, costing nothing, other than its original purchase price. At the moment it also seems to be the cheapest way of getting a connection when we venture to Europe.

    Some of you are paying too much for your '3' 12GB/12month sims.  Check eBay/Google.  My last one was £21post free. It arrived in 2days. ....from Switzerland Surprised
