No need to worry about finding wireless internet when visiting Grandma. Paying for overpriced data fees and wondering if WiFi will be available won’t be a problem when it comes to our service. You may be surprised how much data you're using when surfing the web, streaming music or posting updates on your social networks. So, that leads us to the big question – where do you take your mobile hotspot? Below, we listed five places to take your device. We hope it will come in handy for your next trip!
The Beach
A day trip to the beach on a warm and sunny day sounds great these days. With your mobile hotspot, you can connect to WiFi and listen to music, scroll through social media, play games, read a book, or catch up on some news. If your mobile hotspot is 4g lte, then it's like having a wifi router right alongside you as the seagulls fly overhead. You can surf (the web) and download the latest mobile apps. The possibilities of web surfing are endless when connected to WiFi. Just remember not to drop your device in the water!
Hotels
Ahh hotels… a bitter-sweet feeling when connecting to WiFi. Yes, the majority of hotels have WiFi internet service available for guests, although there might be a fee. While there are hotels that provide free wireless internet connections, there might be restricted areas to access WiFi. For the hotels that provide free WiFi within the vicinity, make sure to check the bandwidth strength. Sometimes the connection can be weak, and not worth using at all. Also, before doing any online banking, be sure your 3g or 4g connection is secure.
Road Trips
Have you ever wanted to visit that alien beef jerky shop on your way to Las Vegas? You know you have. As you check off items on your roadtrip planner, be sure to have your passengers use your mobile WiFi hotspot to guide you to the beef jerky shop. Staying connected to WiFi during your travels could help you search for the nearest diner, rest stops and scenic routes. A mobile hotspot is a resourceful tool to have when you visit the small towns that have limited broadband access.
Business Trips
Work, work, work – a mobile hotspot can help you get work done on the go. You’ll have a 3g or 4g lte portable WiFi connection to prepare for video conference calls, send emails and much more. You will feel better knowing that you’re prepared for anything that work throws your way. You never know, you could be the one to save the day when your team is counting on you.
Camping
Camping in the great outdoors is a nice break from our everyday routine. So, how will you stay connected to the world? That’s why your mobile hotspot is an essential camping tool. Portable WiFi can assist with mapping out the best wireless internet spot to setup camp, learn facts about your surroundings and search for the nearest stores / rest stops. In addition, keep in contact with friends and family to let them know your whereabouts.
We hope using one of our mobile WiFi hotspots will be a great help on your adventures. Just remember to check the coverage map for your areas: http://www.truconnect.com/coverage/
