Guys, just discoverd this and thought to share.

If you have a compatible nokia phone (one of the newer smartphones from E71 era) you can download the app from www.joiku.com and it turns your phone into a hotspot. There is the free version and the paid version which enables you to block people and know eho else is connecting to you signal. For the free version, you can't stop others from connecting to your signal. The only disadvantage is that your phone will get hot with continous use and the battery will die pretty fast, so it's a good idea to have it plugged into the mains, otherwise, I haven't had any issues with it. It works as fast as the modem itself would.

The advantage if this is that you can then have only one data plan on your phone and use it on your laptop and tablet wirelessly. Also you don't need to buy a Mifi device, which saves you about N25k if you were thinking of buying one.

I get the impression that most people don't know about this and I thought to share.

Ciao!
