How much is the delivery?

Any orders placed for Ireland, delivery and return is €10 each way. Our national courier is An Post. For international orders, we operate with DHL so prices vary on each location.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we can ship the device internationally. However, delivery charges may change depending on the destination.

Will you send me tracking information when my device ships?

Yes, we will notify you with the tracking number before we send out the order.

Can I order multiple wifi devices at the same time?

Yes, absolutely. However if you are ordering more than 5 devices at once, please email us for details.

Can I place an order for collection?

Yes pre- booked orders can be collected at one of our two locations in Dublin. Please specify which location suits you. These orders must be pre booked at least one day in advance.

Can I have the device delivered to my hotel?

Yes, we can deliver the device to the hotel’s reception desk. If you pick this option, please let the reception desk know that you are expecting a delivery so they can accept it and sign for it. *** However, please provide us with the proper name and reservation details to ensure that the order will be received by the hotel. ***

How do I return the device after using it?

Simply pop the device & accessories into the pre-addressed plastic jiffy bag provided and drop it into any Post Office in Ireland. Post Office locations can be found here. The international orders are done through DHL, so again pop the device & accessories into the pre-addressed bag provided and ask for the local DHL to pick it up for you, or you can simply drop it to their near office. We provide the instructions inside the post bag so don’t worry.*** You can also drop off the device to one of our two locations in Dublin free of charge if you are staying in Dublin prior departure. ***

Can I return the device from a different address / destination?

What are my options for returning the device from Ireland?

If you selected the free drop-off option in your order, please make sure to return the device to one of our two locations in Dublin.However if you selected the blue box that says “Returning from a different address”, you will be provided a blue return envelope with a stamp included. You must drop it off to any post office or post box.

Services & Troubleshooting

When is the wifi service activated?

The service is activated from the moment you switch on the device. So when you choose your wifi plan, think about when you are going to start using it. Usually we allocate 1 – 4 days for deliveries and returns. So this won’t be included in the plan timeframe.

Where can I use the device?

We offer 3 different destination options: Ireland so you can use Travel WiFi anywhere within the Republic of Ireland. The 2nd option is Ireland & UK, which means you can use Travel WiFi anywhere in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Welsh and England. The 3rd option is Worldwide: You can use Travel WiFi in up to 100 countries worldwide, so if you plan to visit multiple countries at once this is the best plan for you.

When should I order my wifi plan?

We advise to have it ordered at least one week in advance prior to your holiday. If you are based in Ireland at least 3 days.

How long does the battery last?

The battery can operate up to 5 hours for the devices used in Ireland. For our Worldwide packages we use a different hotspot device and the battery life for this is up to 12 hours

Do you provide a car charger?

Yes, our packages include a car charger too. This way, you can keep the device juiced up while you’re on the road.

Can I stream movies?

Yes you can, our wifi packages offer unlimited data – ONLY WITHIN IRELAND & UK However we would advice not to stream movies excessively as the network provider will reduce speed if exceeding too much data over a day period

Can sharing my connection with others make it slower?

Realistically, no. Usually, you won’t notice any difference at all.

If everyone around you is trying to stream Game of Thrones at the same time, then that might be an issue. To solve: team up and watch together.

What if I’m having a problem with coverage?

There could be a few things that you’re running into:

It might be a small coverage gap or weak signal in the area you’re in. Try connecting in a different area nearby to see if you can establish a better signal.You might be underground or within a structure that’s affecting your signal. Sounds odd, but wireless signals aren’t perfect. It would be helpful to try again in a more open location.

What is the deposit for?

What is the refund policy?
