Hiya, yes the app runs on the host phone, and sets up a WiFi hotspot which anything can connect to (subject to password obviously). I use an android tablet as well (tesco hudl), but have also used a windows laptop on it. Haven’t tried an iPhone/iPad, but can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work.
I’m on ee & I think the network & customer service is terrible. It’s very expensive as well. They are now advertising a sim with 200gig data for a tenner on Facebook , not sure how bs free that is…
I’m with EE and share sims with my iPhone & iPad. I’m on a 20gb data contract and find I never go over that even when I watch movies most days/nights.

Bargain, and AFAIK, it will work in a MiFi device too!
For a short 2 month solution it’s ideal if your not both bothered about retaining the phone number, as I doubt they’ll figure you’ll use 100Gb in 2 months, EE tend to do these huge data promo’s every few months. This one is aimed at the festival crowd, and if you order a SIM they enter you in a draw to win tickets for Glastonbury
I actually got 2 of these SIM cards
bump
EE have another of these £10 100Gb of data PAYG Sim deal promo’s running
shop.ee.co.uk/campaigns/summer-s … =Affiliate

As above another EE sim deal

Would recommend EE’s current deal. £10 top up gets you 100gb of data for November, then another 100gb for December.
They did it earlier this year and it worked a treat for me. Just stuck it into one of their osprey router things and it’s never failed to get a decent signal. After it runs out, 3 seem to be the best for a sim only deal with loads of data. I believe, if you look on eBay, you can get those EE osprey things unlocked so they’ll take any SIM card.
I remember the good old days when we were too tired to watch TV after pressing clutches and changing gears all day !!!

Juddian mate, seriously? You are telling me that in 30plus years of tramping you have never tethered your giffgaff with a buzzard, and foxfied your phablet app while having a hotspot playing with your dongle? 
and you call yourself a ■■■■ driver? 
What’s wrong with you man.
After reading all this stuff it has suddenly dawned on me like some kind of revelation, that I am at the stage now where I no longer have much in common with most of my fellow drivers. 
I am in the park up, pub and meal camp, not the lay by and vegetate camp But hey, each to his own…

You must have a laid back employer who let’s you get on with with your own things.

I didn’t say I went to the pub in work time mate, I’m on about when I park up for the night …ie.my own time.
So it’s got nothing to do with my employer, so not sure what you are getting at 
Not necessarily Pimp me old mate, the driver is still at the wheel, the driver decides where he’s stopping and what he’ll do with his spare time, even if the company specify MSA parking as some do there are certain ones within a gentle stroll of a pub that does food, Cardiff Gate springs to mind as one of my regular stops when i did Sth Wales runs, park up wash and brush up and into the Toby, pint and carvery, read of a good book or chat with someone like minded for a couple of restful hours, its what the job used to be and still can be if drivers can get away from this daft running till the last bloody minute then having to park a yard from a bloody main A road dual carriageway, they’ve become part of the machine.

I know you didn’t say that but some hauliers give you 18hrs worth of work in your day, get messed about in rdc etc so you can’t really plan your down time or where you park.
