Hi,
I am thinking of buying this https://shop.caravanclub.co.uk/product/1998534/kuma-caravan-motorhome-4g-mobile-wifi-kit , does anyone have experience of using it? I just wondered how well the antenna boosts the signal. There doesnt seem to be many reviews online.
Thanks
Laura

I agree re the tethering to phone is an option, but I guess I am more askng if the antenna is worthwhile. This is the part that drew my attention, I guess if i got this I could put my phones sim card in?
I am wondering if this potentially has better signal and speed than my current phone?

I'm not sure that you can put your phone sim in the MiFi unit. Mine won't accept my phone sim and in any event the network seems to be able to sense the type of sim and reject it.
In weak phone signal areas the MiFi is certainly slightly better at getting a signal than my phone but there is not much in it and each phone and type will vary.
Where are you planning to use the unit?

I don’t often say this but I agree with DD.
I tether my Pad to my iPhone and it works like a dream but, if I wanted a separate unit, I would buy an unlocked mifi unit (probably Huawei) and run it off a 3Network Internet on Legs data sim which can be bought at a reasonable price in 12 or 24gb versions. Check out Amazon for prices of both.
I would test that out before deciding whether I needed a booster aerial.
