Pocket Wi-Fi

A pocket Wi-Fi is a device which connects to the Internet via a wireless local area network (WLAN). A pocket Wi-Fi acts as a hotspot through which smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices can connect to the Internet.

Various Swiss mobile service providers offer data-only plans designed for use with Pocket Wi-Fi hotspots. These data plans are included in the moneyland.ch mobile plan comparison.

Pocket Wi-Fi devices are also useful for travelers. By simply purchasing a local SIM card in your destination country and inserting this into your pocket Wi-Fi, you can connect to the Internet at local rates while at the same time keeping your primary phone number activated in order to receive calls.

You can find useful tips in the moneyland.ch guide to using mobile hotspots.
