Compare Freedom4 Wifi with other UK mobile broadband providers.
Freedom4 Wifi offers wifi-3G packages allowing customers to connect to one of its thousands of wireless hotspots or switch to the 3G mobile broadband network when they’re out of range.
It has a network of more than 50,000 hotspots in 80 countries worldwide and more than 4,000 UK locations.
Freedom4 Wifi offers two wifi-3G packages; one on a monthly subscription and a second pay as you go service as well as three wifi-only packages.
Its contract wifi-3G package comes with a free dongle and 3GB of data for £15 a month, as well 500 wifi minutes. Out of bundle data is charged at 9p per MB on the mobile broadband network, with international wifi roaming from 9p per minute.
The pay as you go option costs £60 for the dongle and 15p per MB or minute of UK wifi or mobile broadband usage, with international wifi roaming from 15p per minute.
Freeodm4 Wifi’s wifi-only deals offer a one-off 60 minute wifi connection for £4.50 or a subscription for 500 or 2,000 wifi minutes, for £10 or £25 a month respectively.
A mobile broadband connection that reverts to wireless hotspots when available helps to save your precious 3GB monthly download allowance. The cheap international wifi roaming rates are great for travellers too as mobile broadband can be extortionate when used abroad.
Its wifi-only packages are also a useful alternative for anyone who wants to get online in hotels, train stations, coffee shops or airports without signing up to mobile broadband.
Wifi connections give a faster, more reliable connection than mobile broadband too, so are often better when working out of the office.
Michael Phillips, BroadbandChoices.co.uk product director, said: “If you travel a lot - either for business or leisure - then this is a great service for you. It not only offers a mobile broadband service, but you can also connect to hotspots in cafés and restaurants, at train stations, in hotels and at airports, as well as getting cheap wifi roaming minutes to help you get online no matter where you are.
“If you don’t travel so much, then Freedom4 Wifi’s mobile broadband packages might not appear as competitive as some others on the market. Both O2 Mobile Broadband (www.O2.co.uk) and T-Mobile Broadband (www.T-Mobile.co.uk) offer free hotspot access to mobile broadband customers and 3 Broadband (www.Three.co.uk) offers a massive 15GB monthly download allowance for just £15 a month.”
