Hi All
I need a Mi-Fi to go with my Sam Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 when I'm on the go (in the field) with my photography.
Which one is the better one---Huawei E5332 or Huawei E586 or 586es.
Or is there a better one that is not Pricy..

EE have on offer a E5332 for £39.99 + £10 top up or the 586..Is it good or should I buy an Un-Locked one.

Thanks.
Happy New Year

Not allowed to tether..Not only that, would cost me more in long run as I pay Monthly Debit on phone. What usage is left at end of month I lose.. With Mi-Fi I pay a months cash but if I don't use within that month it carries over to the next without lose of cash until it is used up.
 
Depending on the phone you have you can either ROOT or Jailbreak this will give you access to tethering at no additional cost, bar your inclusive data.
 
Isn't the One Plan with Three better for Tethering through your phone with then? £25 a month truly unlimited internet, 2000 minutes, 5000 3 to 3 minutes and 5000 texts....?
Combined cost must be less than mifi and current contract.

I thought MiFi data expires after 30 days. It did when I was using one a few years back on Three.
 
I ordered one of these before Christmas - ZTE MF60 MiFi Mobile Wifi Hotspot- Unlocked Sim Free. Check it out on the rainforest.

It arrived today and I popped one of the 3gb preloaded data sims from 3 in there.

So far so good. Set up was a breeze and the device has been flawless all day. Down speed is really good too, around 3mb with one bar of signal (signal for anything is awful in my house, even the TV only picks up 4 channels).

Hope this helps.
 
I have a E586 on Three on their pay monthly plan and it works very well. Usually see 5-7Mbps but in places like manchester city centre over 12Mbps. I've got the 15GB plan on mine and use it for work as I travel a fair bit.
 
Thanks..
EE are doing a deal on Sale..Huawei E5332 for £39.99 + £10.00 Top Up. Also the 586. This top up (sim) can be used up instantly or over a month as most do..BUT if you don't use within that month it will be rolled-over to the next month. Must be used once within a period of time in order to roll-over. Don't know if it's 1GB or 2Gb or more. 2GB would do me as it weill be used whilst away.

What I need to know is--Is it any good ???
Is the Huawei E586 ES UnLocked at £60.90p a Better buy & buy a sim card seperatly.

If you know of any Mi-Fi that is Better, Please do tell me...
Will take a look at the ZTE MF60 in a few minutes.
Thanks
 
Three are doing the E586 with 12GB of data which last upto a year for £135 and there is quidco on that as well.
