    no. The "Meteor broadband to go" can't connect to eircom WiFi. It gives you an account so the separate, nothing to do with Meteor dongle or 3G phone, WiFi in a phone or laptop (if installed/built in) can use eircom hotspots without extra charge.

    A 3G "dongle" is only for GSM/3G Mobile Phone networks. It can't act as a WiFi client radio.

    You need to buy a USB WiFi stick. Though cabled ethernet works far better.
