Has the Vodafone MiFi come of age?
I have just got back from a few days working in Austria and waiting for me at home were a couple of Vodafone branded parcels.
While I was abroad I had the luxury of leaving my mobile phone switched to roaming as this year Vodafone have kindly offered to sponsor my data. This was a really big deal and it was a weird feeling not having to worry about data costs but also seeing the text messages pop through telling me how much the data was going to be. I have been told to use the phone as normal so my usage can be measured and the modern needs of the travelling data user can be monitored. I'll save the details for a proper blog post on this, suffice to say I was comforted by the knowledge that should I not be using any heavy data, the background data that trickles out of smartphones was more affordable than I thought. But as you know I am a heavy data user and am looking forward to seeing some figures at the end of the year. So, disclaimer out of the way, I'm happy to see that Vodafone are finally offering a pay as you go MiFi option and am looking forward to reviewing the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi R205 to see if it's a major improvement on the last version. A full review will no doubt be linked off http://Documentally.com and for more info on this PAYG offering check out http://Vodafone.co.ukI'm @Documentally on Twitter
