Mobility is one of the challenges I encountered during the first week of my daughter’s summer schooling as I need to stay at school while working.
Since we don’t have yaya/helper nowadays, I’m oblige to wake up early, do the household chores, prepare my daughter and bring her to school. I wake up at around 5:30 AM and start my day cleaning our little apartment. After cleaning, I open my computer, read e-mails and start working.
Once my daughter is up, I pause for a while to eat breakfast and prepare for school and work. Before leaving our home, I ensure that my responsibility at work is all set, at least for an hour.
During the first week of my daughter’s summer classes, I keep bringing my netbook with Smartbro plug-it, but I still find it huge and hassle to move around. To solve my mobility issue, I started searching for a gadget that enables user to get connected anytime, anywhere, and that is the pocket Wi-Fi.
At first, I’m contemplating whether to purchase the Huawei Mobile Wi-Fi or the pocket Wi-Fi from Smart, but since I don’t want to get locked in just one network, I grabbed the Huawei Mobile Wi-Fi from PC Madness Philippines for 2800 only.
It works just like the plug it one, where you just need a SIM card with load, but the gadget needs to be charged. I tried it for a day and it works pretty fast compared to the plug-it and it can be shared up to 10 gadgets/devices.
Now I can stay connected anytime, anywhere!

Hi! I recently purchased the same model. I found it very handy and easy to use. However, it bugs me that the unit gets hot after only 15-20 minutes of usage. I called up the store where I bought the unit and asked if that is normal and they told me that it is. They just told me to switch it off when not in use to avoid overheating. But the problem is, I only switched it on for 15 minutes and it started to get hot already. Did you experience that too? I am just worried especially because I need to use my pocket Wi-Fi for 1-2 hours a day. How was your experience with it?

Hi Vica,
I’m experiencing the same, though I only use my pocket wi-fi not longer than 3 hours. I think it’s normal.

Yes, I’m living here in Quezon, and the signal is not that good compared to the city. As long as there’s 3G. 🙂
