    We said above, it is possible to use a connection sharing to “create” an airbox. Like the latter, such a device can allow you to connect your laptop (and other devices) to a personal Wi-Fi network wherever you are.

    • there Battery of your mobile phone may suffer from it;
    • You need to take your laptop with you, it is not Not possible to create a fixed Wi-Fi network extra.

    If your budget is tighter, the operator’s low-cost subsidiary, Sosh, offers less expensive offers. Beware, however, to the specificities of these so-called “low-cost” suppliers: their customer service is often entirely digital, they therefore do not necessarily suit everyone !

    Multiply this by the number of people you will share with your connection, add to that music that you listen to, your use of social networks (with the multitude of photos responsible for it), your updates, your e-mails… Over a month, it will therefore be complicated to hold without recharge with packages of 10 or even 20 GB.

    Why not equip your holiday home ?

    One of the scenarios that generally leads to the purchase of an airbox is that of the holiday home, where we want to continue to have access to an internet connection but in which we generally do not stay long enough and long enough and long enough and long enough and often to have a box.

This will allow you to benefit from a reliable, unlimited connection And independent of the quality of the network mobile data. In addition, you can benefit from additional services : landline phone, television decoder … also allowing you to consume less in mobile data.
