2 questions -
Samba mobile network users, i installed my new sim, my iphone sees the mifi but it asks for the password, i dont know what to insert, i have tried the login password but doesn't work?
my other question i bought an unlocked e5776 4g device, there is no 4g where i live, ee and 3 have poor coverage inside the house. Therefore, I am looking for one that DOES work in the house (we are in a dip), the people who i live with said they get full bars on vodafone (they are on contract).
Are vodafone any good with data, i dont know about giff gaff whether what it says on their coverage checker is accurate, i looked on amazon but they only seem to be standard vodafone sims for 99p.
Alternatively i have hard of signal boosters, and my mifi device comes with 2*2 mimo (not that i know much about it the antennaes)
I dont wish to have any contract because i may be moving around, but would like as much data as possible, i already used most of my 1g tethering on my orange contract inside of 3 days because i have alot of apps that i use on my iphone 4 and samsung s3, plus i need to connect my laptop.

The WPA2 key may be on the inside of the battery cover...or thereabouts.
Vodafone are relatively awful with mobile broadband data allowances.
Try Ovivo, as on the same network.
How do you use your Orange SIM if there is such poor coverage??0 -
to use my orange phone i have to go upstiars to get better coverage. i know they said their mast nearby is down but the house is in a dip so..
yeah i have looked at vodafone their data plans are terrible, which is a shame as nearly everywhere i have lived or been near has very good coverage.
Perhaps what i'l have to do is a mixture of networks, one for at home use i.e vodafone and then whatever for when i go walk about.My Signature is MY OWN!!0 -
Another option would have been to buy a Mifi on Orange on a one month contract.
£30 would have got you 5GB for a month and a free Huawei E5332.
Was really no point in paying out for a 4G MiFi, especially when you have no access.0 -

Technology is not stationary it changes all the time and improves.
I didn't want to waste money on technology that was old, so invested in the latest technology out there.
And as i have already stipulated in this thread there is VERY POOR orange/ee/3 coverage inside my home!
Nifty i have requested before that i did not want any replies from you, i find that your previous responses to be unnecessary and unhelpful..
I'm going to try ovivio and see how that holds they have £5 for 1gb data, so if that works at home that is great; then i'll have that to play with at home, 1.2 gb for on the go via my orange contract when it does work a few yards down the road, and samba for the same reason, as someone else is doing watching the ads.My Signature is MY OWN!!0
