Here at Mamamia, we have an almost scholarly understanding of Facebook FOMO (the Fear of Missing Out what’s getting shared on Facebook ) and Nomophobia (the fear of not being able to get network coverage on your mobile).
We’ve mastered the art of stealthily finding the best wi-fi spots in airports, even if that means balancing on one leg atop a suitcase in a corner, while contorting our bodies to get the highest number of possible bars. Or spending the half the day trekking around a new city, trying to find a café with wi-fi, which doesn’t expect you to consume three breakfasts to justify your position in the comfy chair for three hours.
But despite the fact that we have perfected these skills, there’s no denying that searching for public wi-fi (or having to pay to use expensive hotel wi-fi) is a huge hassle. Wi-fi hunting becomes even more difficult when travelling with the family and kids, and getting everyone connected when you’re out and about can require planning and synchronisation of Mission Impossible standards.

If you’re holidaying with friends and family this summer, the Telstra Pre-Paid 4G wi-fi device might help you out. It connects up to 5 wi-fi compatible devices to the Telstra Mobile Network at the same time, including laptops and tablets (just in case you want to double-device it with a laptop and an iPad at the same time).
