Take a private WiFi connection with you anywhere in the UK that has mobile signal. Hire a battery-powered pocket MiFi with unlimited 4G data from £39, no contract, no deposit, delivered next working day.
Hire from £39 →MiFi is a small, battery-powered wireless router that creates its own WiFi network using the mobile networks, instead of a phone line. Switch it on and it gives your phone, laptop, tablet and everyone else's a WiFi connection, anywhere there's mobile signal. No landline, no engineer, no installation, and no need for a power socket. It fits in a pocket and comes with you.
A dongle plugs into one laptop and connects only that device. A MiFi is standalone and shares its connection with several devices at once over WiFi. If more than one thing needs to be online, MiFi wins.
A phone hotspot flattens your phone battery and eats your allowance. A MiFi has its own battery and its own unlimited SIM, so your phone stays charged and your data stays yours.
A MiFi you buy still needs a SIM and data topping up. Ours arrives with genuinely unlimited data already running. Keep it a week or a month, then post it back.
We hire out two different devices, because they do genuinely different jobs. The pocket MiFi costs the same for a week and less on the longer plans. Most people replacing broadband want the router. Pick the pocket MiFi when you need to carry it.
| Pocket MiFi | 5G router | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Events, camping, travel, site work, market stalls | Replacing home or office broadband |
| Power | Battery, around 8 hours, or run it plugged in | Mains socket, runs continuously |
| Network | 4G, usually 20 to 60Mbps | 5G where available, considerably faster |
| Devices at once | Up to 10 | Up to 32 |
| Size | Fits in a pocket | Sits on a desk or shelf |
| Price | From £39 a week | From £39 a week |
Replacing broadband at a fixed address? Take the unlimited 5G router instead. Same price, faster, and it never needs charging.
Need it longer? Extend anytime for £25 a week from your order confirmation email.

MiFi is a small, battery-powered wireless router that creates a personal WiFi network using the mobile networks instead of a phone line. Put a data SIM in it, switch it on, and it gives phones, laptops and tablets nearby a WiFi connection, anywhere there's mobile signal. No landline, no engineer, no installation.
A dongle usually plugs into one laptop by USB and connects only that device. A MiFi is standalone: it runs on its own battery and shares its connection with several devices over WiFi at once. If you need more than one device online, MiFi is the better fit.
Hire the pocket MiFi if you need internet somewhere without a power socket, or need to carry it around: a festival, a campsite, a market stall, a van, a day of site work. Hire the 5G router instead if you're replacing home or office broadband at a fixed address, because it's faster, carries more devices and runs continuously from the mains. The pocket MiFi costs the same for a week and less on the longer plans.
It runs on 4G, which in practice usually means somewhere between 20 and 60Mbps depending on your signal. That's comfortable for browsing, email, video calls and HD streaming on a few devices at once. Our 5G router is considerably faster and is the better choice if you're replacing fixed broadband.
Around 8 hours of active use on a full charge. It also runs indefinitely while plugged into the charging cable supplied, so you can leave it charging overnight, or run it from a power bank or car charger during the day.
Yes. It comes with a genuine unlimited data SIM already fitted, no top-ups and no cap we add, on the strongest network for your postcode. The network's own fair use policy applies.
