Mifi in Cyprus

[MacManiac]

Is it possible to buy and use Mifi to create a personal hotspot in Cyprus? I have never used the technology but would like to be able to use my iPad in the weeks before the container arrives with computers. We will be living in a short term rental whilst we look for the right long term rental, and will need Internet access.

Reasonably computer literate but ...

If you mean you want to use a mobile wifi router (mifi) to connect to internet using a mobile phone network it would be no problem. However using mobile Internet in Cyprus is expensive. I saw that Vodafone as a package with 2 Gb per month for about 26 Euro.

Hi Anders,

It's a short-term measure until we find a long term rental. My laptop died recently and I don't want to ship my iMac by air as it is a silly price. So I was hoping to use my iPad using mifi. The cost, in a sense, is irrelevant as we can not do everything we need without Internet access.

Thanks for the info, and I'll look into it.

For Vodaphone over here you need to check the CYTA website. You might also want to check MTN and Primetel.

I see that Primetel charge 18 euro per 500 Mb Pay As You Go. Meaning 72 euro for 2 Gb. Even for short time it can be expensive, but ofc a solution
