In Car Wifi

Looking for tips for incar wifi for my grandson to use on trips in uk and abroad. Or would it just be better to turn my iphone into a wifi hotspot ?

Any advice appreciated.

You could use a MIFI Simon, but in honesty if you've unlimited data it may be easier to tether to phone etc Thumbs Up

I had an Alcatel MIFI that I just stuck a sim in. It works very well but I tend to only use it in europe becuase many providers limit hotspotting when abroad. I can connect up to 5 devices to it if I need to. The kids all have their own phones with unlimited data etc so its less of an issue in the UK.

I'm not on unlimited data on my iphone contract as TBH I don't really use it that much.

MIFI might be the best option to use abroad and in UK as grandson limited to an iPod as I do not think a 10 year old needs a phone. (I bet this comment opens up a can of worms Rolling with laughter )

This looks quite good http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/cat-4692_M7350.html

I have a 3G mifi thingie but never had any success with it, instead either tether to the ipad or the phone, depending on which data source I'm using. Only time that didn't work was when the Polish network I was using didn't allow tethering. Next trip through Poland (hopefully next June) will pick up a SIM which should work all across Europe from 17th June. Stupidly cheap to buy and run over here from then on. Mr. Green
