Tep mobile wifi review
"I tried the Tep mobile wifi mostly with my iPhone. I switched it on as I left home, then put it back in the padded sleeve it arrived in and popped that in my bag. Within a minute or so I could then see the wireless network on my iPhone and could connect...I used it in London, on a train to the Midlands, and in the English countryside of Shropshire and, generally, had no problems with network coverage."

Taking the train with tep
September 21, 2011
"Tep was my little buddy, and he sat in my pocket and gave me WiFi access whenever, wherever I needed it. If there was a 3G signal, I was hooked up.
Tep helped me find my way out of a confusing area of Granada by enabling my iTouch to connect to Google Maps and determine where the hell I was."

"The pocket wifi was great. You guys probably saved me a fortune on AT&T roaming charges!"

"I used a Tep Wireless pocket wifi on a recent summer holiday around the UK. I stayed in different places each night so this pocket wifi let me know I could manage my budget and still check emails and do some work each evening. The variety of rates I saw for wifi access were incredible but knowing how much I was spending with Tep Wireless really helped. There were some remote locations where it worked fantastic and some where it didn't but this was simply because there was no mobile phone or 3G signal in the area. Knowing I could check my smartphone in the car for maps was a real bonus and for checking and booking things when out and about - no waiting till we got back to the hotel! I would recommend the pocket wifi rental."

"I used a tep device on the Mongol Rally. I was sooo cool having fast wifi throughout the UK and Europe. Can't wait for tep to be available in the USA. It's perfect for social media addicts like me - thanks!"

"Superb service. My mifi arrived in plenty of time for my honeymoon, in a nice, handy sized carry case. On switching it on in France, it started working there and then with our iPhones and iPads, all the way through Germany, Switzerland and Italy. It was so handy to use that we had to keep remembering to switch it off because of the usage cap! I am already going to book again for my next trip to Germany in December and absolutely cannot fault the Tep Wireless service. 10/10 guys - keep it up!"

"I got the cell phone for 'just-in-case' moments...I'm happy I rented the phone, it made keeping up to date on emails a lot more convenient, and a handful of emergency calls wouldn't have been possible without it too."

"Just got back to NZ from a trip to UK. Thanks TEP, great phone, great service, timely support and answers to questions, and I didn't even use all the credit in one week, much appreciated, I will pass on your details to my colleagues, cheers."

"We used Tep Wireless on the European leg of the Mongol Rally. It worked like a charm driving from England to Romania . Even better, we could use it in our car. While one person was busy at the steering wheel, the rest of our Mongol Rally team could send out tweets, update our facebooks and even work on our travel blogs, all using the same pocket wifi. It's affordable and the connection is fast and smooth. Traveling with a pocket wifi from tep is a great tool for travelers that want to stay connected and don't want to have to constantly be on the hunt for free wifi. Even better, you can catch up on your emails and other things during a bus or train ride, no need wasting precious free time when you get to a city sitting in a cafe while you do your work. Get out there and explore!"

"The device worked 100% of the time and I traveled from The Cotswald, all over Dorset, Gloucester, Sussex, Kent, The Midlands and London. I connected my laptop and Blackberry mobile to it with no problem and it always gave excellent signal strength."

"Just got back from a trip to Italy where I used the WiFi service, my accommodation had no WiFi. Am really impressed. The device arrived two days before departure and worked like a charm, good connectivity to high speed mobile network and has impressive WiFi range as an access point. Only problems experienced were with the local mobile network which gave up the ghost for a day. Help desk support friendly and helpful. Popped the kit into the pre-paid envelope the day after I returned. Used with both smartphone and laptop. Email, surfing and sat nav via the smartphone - email and internet via the laptop."

"I used the mobile TEP wireless device this summer while spending a week in London - it took under three minutes to pickup at Heathrow - and on my way home, less an a minute to drop off. For a reasonable price, I had unlimited wifi wherever I was above ground, even in my hotel where I could have paid more than the TEP device cost and been limited to access only in my room. Next time I'm in the UK, I'm definitely using TEP again."
