Best mini wifi pocket router ?

[dunkyd]

Going travelling and would like to take my home LTE sim as it has loads of monthly data.
Cover just 2 phones, hang off car mirror and last maybe 6 hours between charging or plug into cig lighter socket if needed.
Pensioner price range and in Krugersdorp area ?
Thanks

This thread is in the MTN section.

Ok, Ok you win. But good luck trying to use an MTN SIM on the road and not at the home registered address.

Need a pocket router to hang on car mirror.
I bought a Huawei E5576 look alike router from Geewiz last week.
Absolute crap. 500 hours standby advertised. I got 6 hours without data transmission . 6 hours advertised worktime, I got 2 max.!!
Waiting for them to collect it.
Even advertised with Huawei product number !!!

It's 6 hours of use, 350 hours standby if you don't use it at all. The more devices connected you will probably get about 2 hours.

Battery was fully charged, one phone connected reading forums and news.....
Also has no lights showing in use, battery etc. Nothing when on.
No lanyard.
Sim slot requires a pin to remove card.
Battery and compartment was full of moisture when opening box.
No quickstart pamphlet.
BEWARE.

Hifi corp has mtn mifi's going for R250. Dont k ow how good they are but maybe worth a look?

Cellc had this ZTE on special some time back. Not sure if they still do but works well.

Supports all the network bands and not network locked.

It just doesn't support 4G+ but should still give you a solid 30 to 60Mbps
