In car WIFI

Just use your phone....

Sadly, I have only got  3G phone and even though I tether it to my laptop would nonetheless like to read of others opinions.

I would certainly consider purchasing a 4G unit if most came out in favour.

So lets  hear it  - good or bad.

I'm not sure it matters what your phone is, RF. If I understand correctly, this gadget picks up the phone signal - up to 4G - and converts it into a wifi hotspot. 

We have 4G compatible phones which work very quickly when 4G is available. EE led the UK rollout of 4G. though others are catching up now. However its growth is focussed on conurbations where it will be available to high numbers of people - which in the main, we have found, doesn't include the rural areas where campsites tend to be found. We have a 4G router device with a 3 Sim to use as an alternative when EE isn't working, but we've not used it in a year. Its tariff is favourable in that there's a year's use after your first connection. I think that for the moment, you won't find enough 4G on sites to justify the cost unless you buy it to offer an alternative network to your phone.

Thanks Jennyc, that rather what I was thinking.

...mine only makes calls, no photos, email, Internet, etc etc so this gadget sounds good but I 'd like more info too!

I've no idea what these gs mean either!

As Jenny says, you'll only get 4G where 4G is available, and that's only generally in major towns......not where you tend to find caravan sites. In most places, your 4G device will only get 3G. It will then transmit a wifi signal that you can pick up on other wifi gadgets.

Phones tend to work better than these 'mifi' devices and can be set as a 'personal wifi hotspot' that you can pick up on other wifi devices.

You might be better off up-grading your phone to a 'smart' phone wih this facility, rather than buying one of those mifi devices.

You need to get with it  and get a smart phone .... the user needn't be smart. Even my Dad has one and he'll be 80 next. ;-)

we have the EE buzzard 2- seems to work well. Bought it at the show last spring so EE might be there again doing another promotion in Oct.
