Hello,

I’ll be in Ireland (ROI) for around 4 weeks. Staying in a converted minibus. What advice/recommendation can you give for me to link my phone with iD Sim to my laptop to use my WiFi data?

I’ll be checking emails, bank accounts weather, Google maps and the odd browsing. Not after large data with  downloading Netflix, streaming  films, etc….

 

kind regards

Richard

Hi @MrDS 

 

If you’re using your iD Mobile SIM card in a supported mobile device, you should just be able to start a hotspot and connect other devices to it.

 

We don’t officially support any dongles.
