Mobile operator T-Mobile (Everything Everywhere) has joined Orange , Three (3) and Vodafone in launching their own portable battery powered Wi-Fi based Mobile Broadband router. T-Mobile's Wireless Pointer device includes a Micro SD slot and is also able to detect the strongest mobile signal, allowing users to position the unit for the best possible service.

Like Orange, T-Mobile has also forgone the MiFi moniker of rival products, although it still works in much the same way. The Wireless Pointer essentially makes it possible for Wi-Fi enabled products, such as laptops and tablet PCs, to simultaneously access the internet through a single Mobile Broadband connection.


The Wireless Pointer will be available for free on a 24 month contracts or on T-Mobile’s pay-per-day Mobile Broadband service for £59.99 plus £10 top up. The pay-per-day service lets users choose to pay for their mobile broadband only when they need to, at a fixed cost per day.
