Best Mobile WIFI in Europe - Especially for France.

Our Hippocket Wifi in the wild; Skype with my brother from Mount Tibidabo.

I remember having to duck into the rare Internet café to let my parents know I was still alive when I was backpacking through Italy as a teenager. What a pain that was! Fortunately, in much of the world connectivity is much easier to come by these days…

I am extremely biased – the last two trips we’ve taken, we’ve had the pleasure of using mobile wireless units from excellent companies in Japan and France. This made everything super easy so I really think you should explore that as an option. We get it: some of you like setting cash on fire for fun. I’ll draw up a comparison of international cell phone plans for you later.

Awesome mobile wifi delivered right to your residence in Europe.

                                                                                                                We used Hippocket in France and Spain this year and were really impressed. They’re a startup based in France, but their products cover most of Europe. I highly recommend using Hippocket.

I really enjoy that they make all of the logistics so easy too

Here’s how it worked:

1. We told them where we were staying our first night in Spain.

2. They made sure that the mobile wifi unit was waiting at our hotel (It came in a nice pouch with the charger and simple instructions).

3. We were connected to very fast internet within minutes of opening the pouch.

4. At the end of the trip, I just put it back in the envelope and dropped it in a mailbox.

Here’s their price breakdown:

When we were in Japan we used both Sim Cards and Wifi devices from eConnect Japan and that was great too. I have to give it to Hippocket though... I would send them them even the most inexperienced traveler because they just make everything easy. THANKS, HIPPOCKET!
