About this deal

If you’re travelling abroad, you can use your mobile broadband service through Vodafone Global Roaming. For more information, see our in-depth guide to coverage on Vodafone or our overview of how mobile coverage works in the UK. International Roaming On all mobile broadband plans, it’s possible to roam at no extra cost when travelling to one of 51 European destinations (capped at a maximum of 25GB per month on unlimited data plans).

When joining Vodafone’s mobile broadband service, there’s a choice of two devices. Most people now choose the Vodafone R219 mobile wi-fi hotspot as it allows you to connect up to 10 devices to the internet at the same time. The Vodafone K5161 USB data dongle is also available if you want a simpler device that gives you mobile broadband on your laptop. Alternatively, it’s also possible to get a mobile broadband SIM card that gives you access to mobile broadband on Vodafone without a new device.

The Vodafone R219 gives you Wi-Fi freedom, letting you bring a portable hotspot connection with you wherever you go, so you can get laptops, tablets and more online when you’re out and about. So it’s a mobile broadband device, and while it’s limited to 4G speeds (as Vodafone’s only 5G broadband device at the time of writing is for the home) it still has a lot going for it and is a strong alternative to tethering.

But then it’s not a device you’ll be interacting with or even looking at much once it’s set up, so it doesn’t need a flashy design or loads of buttons.

In theory it should also come with some charge in the battery, so you won’t even need to plug it in. In the following sections, we’ll review each of the two mobile broadband devices in more detail.

This allows you to transfer files between different devices.Compatible with a laptop running Windows 7 or later, or Mac OS X 10.9 and newer. A driver will be installed on your laptop for the dongle. When it comes time to charge, you can do that via the device’s micro USB port, using a charger that comes in the box. Alternatives As an alternative to the R219 mobile wi-fi hotspot, Vodafone also offers the K5161 USB data dongle. This is a simpler device compared to the R219, allowing you to use mobile broadband on only one device at a given time (your laptop).
