4G SIM NewsInternet access is increasingly important when we go on holiday and the availability of WiFi often takes priority over more traditional facilities when we’re booking hotels or holiday cottages. But there is another solution. A 4G travel router allows you to access the internet anywhere, anytime, without having to search for public WiFi spots in cafes or airports, or pay the extortionate rates charged by some hotels.
