Brussels, 29 September 2011 – Take the mobile broadband network everywhere with you! The Mobistar 3G/Wifi modem enables all devices equipped with a WiFi connection to access the Mobistar 3G network. It has the added benefit of optimal 3G reception anywhere you go. Both robust and very easy to use, the 3G/Wifi modem costs only 29 euros with every new Internet Everywhere Daily, Multi Relax or Multi Max subscription.
 
Laptop, tablet, gaming console, camera... from now on, all devices equipped with a WiFi connection can access the Mobistar 3G network. How? Thanks to the 3G/Wifi modem which goes on sale today in all Mobistar points of sale. Compatible with the GPRS, EDGE, 3G and 3G+ networks, this little box with its own SIM card automatically chooses the best mobile network, enabling you to connect all your terminals via WiFi so they can access the Internet. Surfing the Mobistar 3G network is child’s play, even for those with a tablet equipped only with a WiFi connection, for example.

With no software installation needed, the 3G/Wifi modem is both robust and easy to use. Once the SIM card has been put into the device, just switch it on and the 3G/Wifi modem appears in the list of WiFi networks. You can then connect to the wireless network by entering a pass code, as for any WiFi modem.

Additional advantage: the 3G/Wifi modem enables everyone with a 3G compatible device, be it a smartphone or a tablet, to benefit from better “indoor” coverage. By positioning the little box in the place in your home or office with the best reception (near a window, for example), you benefit from optimal 3G reception everywhere.
The 3G/Wifi modem is ideally combined with Internet Everywhere Multi, the only data package on the Belgian domestic market that can be shared by several SIM cards (voice or data) if they are on the same Mobistar contract. That is why the 3G/Wifi modem only costs 29 euros for customers who sign up to an Internet Everywhere Daily (24 months), Multi Relax (12 months) or Multi Max (12 months) contract. For the others, the 3G/Wifi modem is available at 99 euros.
Owners of an iPad who sign up to an Internet Everywhere Multi contract (with Micro SIM) from now to 31st December 2011 will receive yet another gift from Mobistar in the shape of one year’s free access to the online edition of a major Belgian daily (either De Standaard, Het Nieuwsblad, or Le Soir).
