  • wifiTAKEAWAY Episode UT004
    We decided to do this because of the impact it can have with visitors to Barcelona and in Europe in general. This is a game-changer by solving several communication and wifi and hotspot problems most encounter when visiting. We discuss how most are overpaying when it comes to purchasing data, families staying connected and how to stay in communication with your family back home or unfortunately, work. Up to 10 devices can connect to this little powerhouse. Surprisingly, the creative business model of wifiTAKEAWAY has created is economical and easy to use service.

    Here is an affiliate link. This does not change the price of the service (because sometimes the service can be free if you choose) but wifiTAKEAWAY thanks us by passing on a small commission if you use the service. Thank you.
