Global WiFi Hotspots

Travelling internationally should not mean paying extortionate roaming charges, hunting for local SIM cards, or depending on unreliable hotel internet. Made By WiFi offers global WiFi hotspot rentals, compact, portable devices that give you fast, reliable internet access in destinations across the globe, without the hassle. The device is shipped directly to you before your trip, and returning it is just as simple: a prepaid return label is included in the box. Made By WiFi offers this service through a trusted provider partner, so you get the convenience of ordering through us with the reliability of a dedicated international connectivity solution.

The basics

What Is a Global WiFi Hotspot?

A global WiFi hotspot, also known as a “pocket WiFi”, is a small, portable device that provides internet access by connecting to local cellular networks wherever you are in the world. Unlike your regular mobile data plan, which charges international roaming fees for every megabyte used abroad, a global hotspot device is specifically designed for international use. You select the country you are travelling to, and the device connects automatically to the best available local network, delivering WiFi to your phone, laptop, tablet, and any other WiFi-enabled device you are travelling with.

Both capped and uncapped data options are available, so you can choose the plan that best suits your travel needs: a capped plan for lighter use, or an uncapped plan if you need to stay fully connected throughout your trip without monitoring data usage.

There are no SIM cards to swap, no calls to your carrier, and no complicated setup. The device works like any other WiFi hotspot: your devices see it as a standard WiFi network and connect to it the same way they would at home.

Who it's for

Who Is a Global WiFi Hotspot For?

A global WiFi hotspot is for anyone who needs reliable internet access when travelling internationally and does not want to depend on expensive roaming plans or unpredictable local options.

Travellers and Tourists

For anyone travelling internationally for leisure, a global hotspot removes one of the most common frustrations of travel: staying connected without being overcharged. Whether you need to navigate using maps, share photos in real time, keep in touch with family and friends, or access booking platforms and travel information on the go, a pocket WiFi device gives you fast, consistent internet without the bill shock of roaming charges. It works from the moment you land and travels with you wherever you go.

Business Travellers

For professionals travelling internationally, reliable connectivity is not optional. Video calls, cloud-based work tools, email, and file transfers all depend on a consistent internet connection, and the public WiFi available in hotels, airports, and cafes is often slow, unreliable, or insufficiently secure for business use. A global hotspot gives business travellers a private, dedicated connection they can depend on throughout the trip, without relying on whatever the venue provides.

Step by step

How It Works

Getting connected with a global WiFi hotspot is straightforward and very simple. Here is the process from order to return.

Your global WiFi device arrives in a box with everything you need included. See the table below for what is in every rental.

Select your destination

Before or on arrival, select the country you are in. The device automatically connects to the best available local network.

Connect your devices

The hotspot appears as a standard WiFi network. Connect your phone, laptop, tablet, or any other WiFi-enabled device exactly as you would with any WiFi network at home.

Stay connected throughout your trip

The device travels with you. If you are visiting multiple countries, update the destination setting as you move between them.
