SIM Router?

Hi all,

Just wondering if I could get some quick advice.

A relative is in a HSE-run nursing home and we are unable to get in Sky or wifi for him (red-tape is unreal in these places).

We've been toying with the idea of getting those routers that work off SIM cards and then maybe getting a card from 3 or whoever and hooking this up to his tablet.

I'm not too up to date on the routers, what would be an industry standard one to pick up?

He'll be using it to watch TV so any SIM plan would need unlimited broadband but I see Virgin have a deal on at the moment so will probably go with them.

Thanks!

Yeah, get a three SIM and a mifi device.

Done *.


*Make sure theres good three coverage in his room (if theres no 3, Virgin, iD, 48, Lyca, Tesco are out).

Thanks lads, we've already checked the signal in his room with 3 and tis fine (and got a lend of an old mifi device - not 4g compatible).

I think Virgin have a deal for a 5er a month mobile if you already have broadband with them (which I do) so might go with them.
