oddies

I am going away very soon, I can only get internet when I sit by the pool at the leisure centre I know there is a device to get internet while on holiday but I have no idea what is called, could I use it on laptop or iPad ? Thank you all so much x x

Presume you mean a mobile data dongle .
Uses phone network data and can be very expensive data charges .
Will be dependant upon the networks signal for chosen network .

Might be better to purchase a local network sim .

which country?

You need a mifi

By the way, get active!
What is the point of travelling to somewhere else if you just want to sit next to the pool and surf on internet?

I wish I could get active but sadly my legs don't work or I would enjoy nothing more than a hike across the cliff tops like I used to many years ago x

Which network do you have with your mobile?
Some mobile provider allow tethering.

Also, it may worth ringing the hotel to ask if they have any signal black spot on mobile phone network.
