When I was away in Belgium, my Vodafone account for some bizarre reason lost all its data services *. This, coupled to a flakey WiFi service on an otherwise excellent ‘holiday site’ left me all but blind.
Fellow UKGSer subscriber, Andy J, recommended a GlocalMe portable Wi-Fi hotspot dongle thing (I have no idea what they are properly called) which he has used with complete success. I bought one.
Even I, who wouldn’t know one end of a SIM card from another, found it easy to set-up, using the YouTube ‘Here is how to do it’ video. It seems to work well, booming in 5G and shareable by up to 16 devices, apparently.
It is neatly sized, weighs next to nothing and is nicely made. It has an in-house Cloud SIM (I thinks its called) but can take a third party SIM if you’d like it to. It is battery powered, the battery life being reported to be very good. It can also act as a power brick, to charge a phone.
