the.lone.gunman 3,116 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Smart is currently offering 3 pocket wifi devices. One is usb for about 1,000p. The other two are non usb type for tablet and cell phone for about 1500 and 2000p. Has anyone tried the non usb type and are they any good? Link to post Share on other sites

liquido 1,575 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 From what I gather its a battery powered wireless router were you would insert your smart,sun,globe sim card into....You can then pickup wifi for your tablet,phone....etc 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Majorsco 3,400 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 My neice has one and she demo'd it. They are just a portable hotspot. They allow up to 5 people to share a single connection. That's it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

KennyF 3,856 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 For my Ipad which is not 3g. But do you have a recent phone that can be "tethered" like an Android? I have an Android phone that I jump onto Smart internet with. That phone is set to be a wireless "hot spot" as they call it so all my computers and tablets can use the internet through it.

Majorsco 3,400 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 iPhones have the same capability. I use an iPhone 4 that has the feature, though I don't use it. I'm sure the newer models have it too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
