Broadband Internet Access with MiFi

All these telecommunication devices like iPhones, blackberries, iPads and netbooks are great, but lugging them, and all the connection accessories, around the globe is less great.

Plus it still does not solve your connection problems. You have the latest devices, but they are of no use if you cannot connect to the internet, or you connect with a lot of hassle.

Novatel has this great little gadget that's going to say goodbye to all your connection woes : the MiFi intelligent mobile hotspot device.

So what is this MiFi?

Well, it is a little device that is slightly smaller than a pack of cards and slightly bigger than a credit card - 62mm x 98mm x 15.3mm to be precise and weighs only 81 grams. It will fit neatly into any trouser pocket, handbag or carrier case.

But don't let its size fool you. This wireless broadband internet access device packs a big punch when it comes to connectivity.

You can connect up to 5 devices. So if you have a netbook, a blackberry and an iPhone, the Mifi will connect you with one SIM card. Or if you are traveling in a group - the MiFi will connect up to 5 different devices, again with the same single SIM card.

Let's say you are traveling with three colleagues, you can connect your smartphone and your laptop and your three colleagues can also connect their laptops, making it 5 connections. This makes a handy virtual office on the move and all on one SIM card.

The MiFi has made global travel so much easier for professionals and businessmen alike. Charity organizations, journalists, roaming doctors and mobile businessmen are all discovering the virtues of having a MiFi.

Now having a MiFi is only part of the puzzle to global roaming. Your broadband internet access with MiFi still has to be affordable and reasonable, and that means finding the right SIM card services.

MobilityPass has an unlocked MiFi 2352 and a 3G mobile broadband international data SIM bundle that is well worth looking at. The 3G data SIM not only works with your MiFi, it also works with any unlocked device such as iPhone (up to 3GS), netbooks, blackberry, smartphone, M2M and more. If you have an iPad or an iPhone 4GS, there is a micro 3G data SIM available.

The rates are what's interesting too. Just two rates divided into zone A and zone B. Zone A is US$0.189/100kb and zone B is US$1.89/100kb. Go here to check which zone your country or countries fall into.

On top of that, with purchase you get to download free the WiFi EasyConnect Manager which will connect you in more than 110 countries to 140,000 WiFi hotspots. There is only one rate of US$0.32/minute worldwide.

So you save using WiFi to download or upload large files (as it is billed per minute regardless of file sizes), and 3G broadband if you want to stay on the internet for long periods of time (as it is billed according to each 100kb). A connection charge of US$0.87 applies each time you connect.

You also get a free membership where all your billing is centralized in one area, plus you get to check your spending on a daily basis as usage is deducted live.

Cost control has never been easier.

So head on over to Mobility Pass and get your MiFi 2352 and 3G mobile broadband international data SIM card bundle. You will be glad you did.
