WiFi dongle – what’s it all about

The WiFi dongle is something that you’ll hear a lot about while you compare the best deals and offers on mobile internet here in the UK before you buy a wireless broadband package. There are plenty of different packages from the likes of 3 Mobile, Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2 and Orange, ranging from the cheapest right on through to premium deals that have all the bells and whistles.

But in order to get yourself 3G broadband that works efficiently then, even if it’s a cheap deal or offer, you’ll still need to get yourself kitted out with the best WiFi dongle that you can afford. This is because 3G internet relies on these little plastic gizmos in order to help your commuter connect to the mobile internet. With a little bit of comparison though, and reading some consumer reviews, you should be able to spot an ideal candidate pretty easily.

Wi-Fi dongles – where to look

Alongside deals and offers relating to the likes of laptops and Wi-Fi, you won’t have to look far within these comparison pages to find plenty of dongles to choose from. Depending on the package that’s being offered by a mobile broadband network provider, you’ll find that prices are either cheap, or depending on the deal, free, so you may even get a dongle given to you for nothing as part of a contract option.

The search process is simplified because there are basically two different types of Wi-Fi dongle for laptop machines, with the first one being a pay as you go option while the second is a contract variant. There are pros and cons for both of these depending on what type of service you want, the sort of money you have to spend and how much you intend to use your 3G broadband service once you’ve got it set up and running.

WiFi dongle – flexibility

The great thing about having so many different Wi-Fi dongle deals and offers to choose from, be they pay as you go or contract options, is that you can pick a package that will be ideally suited to your internet requirements. So, for example, if you’re only a lightweight user of 3G broadband then a simple pay as you go Wi-Fi dongle for laptop package deal will probably be more than adequate. All you need to do is put some airtime credit on it and you’ll be good to go.

On the other hand, you may be a heavier user of the mobile internet, in which case it will probably be a better idea to compare the different deals and offers on a 3G WiFi dongle. This may mean that you have to go down the contract route, but even some of these have the cheapest options we’ve ever seen thanks to a competitive marketplace here in the UK.

WiFi dongles – points to consider

Of course if you sign up for one of the WiFi dongle deals that involve a contract then you will be tied in for a specific period of time. This is why it’s a good idea to use our comparison pages to check prices, read reviews and get a general overview of what is and isn’t included in best deals and offers before you sign on the dotted line. It can be a lot of hassle and expensive to get back out of an internet contract afterwards, so compare and contrast first.

Pay as you go 3G WiFi dongles, meanwhile, don’t have any of that associated with them because you simply pay for the time you’re connected to the mobile internet and that’s basically the end of it. This can be very convenient for people who simply need to hook up to the 3G broadband internet when they’re out and about, although bear in mind that PAYG dongle deals may have less generous data allowances associated with them.

WiFi dongle – speed, data and coverage

There are other factors that you also need to compare when considering a WiFi dongle deal or offer. Speed is something that is often seen in advertising, with ‘up to’ claims about how fast a mobile internet service will be. Bear in mind that these are often a little more optimistic than how the speeds coming into your 3G WiFi dongle might really be. Speed of service can be affected by coverage, network traffic and a host of other factors that may slow it down.

Data allowances are another area that need to have some careful comparison applied to them. You can review what sort of allowances are give with any particular WiFi dongle deal or package when you pick thorough the offers listed in our comparison pages. The more generous the data allowance then the more content you will be able to upload and download, so heavier internet users need to keep a close eye on this area.

Coverage is another area that a WiFi dongle can often have nothing to do with. All the network providers should be able to give you a decent overview of what sort of 3G mobile broadband coverage you can hope to get in any given area throughout the UK and you can also use the free tools within this very website to help determine which provider might offer a stronger signal to your 3G WiFi dongle where you live.

WiFi dongle deals

If you’re seriously thinking abut getting yourself 3G broadband via a WiFi dongle then it is certainly a great time to consider buying one. If you use our comparison pages, you’ll soon see that all of the major mobile internet networks have special deals and offers relating to every kind of dongle type. There are now even MiFi devices, which are rather like conventional dongles only they allow you to connect several laptops to one connection.

Although this will effectively divvy up your data allowance, this can be a great way to make better use of a WiFi dongle signal, by enabling other members of your family, friends or even work colleagues to tap into the rich resource that is the 3G internet here in the UK. Check the deals and offers listed within this very site to see what a WiFi dongle deal can do for you.
