Mobile data with wi-fi hotspot / Tethering

Dear all,


I'm moving to Geneva next week, and won't have an option for a landline internet for at least 6-8 weeks. So I'm looking for mobile data plans, with the option that I can use my phone as a wi-fi hotspot to connect my laptop as well.


Providers such as Lycamobile and Sunrise do have decent data plans, but I'm not sure if they block wifi hotspots / tethering. Does anybody have experience with that? If somebody has a mobile data plan and could test the wifi hotspot option then that would be nice too.


 


Very best wishes,


Stan.

You might wanna try Swisscom.. I rented a dongle from them during a house move before, wi-fi hotspot type thing ..


I can't remeber the price and it was a couple of years ago.. but I got the little device with SIM installed, rented it for 3 weeks or so, all data was included and it even came with a pre-paid envelope to return it. Very convenient.


It was from the branch just off Rue de Rive, up a few steps, near confederation center. .Rue de Marche?
