What is Mobile Broadband?

Vodafone Mobile Broadband is simply high speed wireless internet access, giving you flexibility to be online almost wherever you want using the Vodafone mobile phone network. It's convenient and portable, and because it's wireless you don't need a fixed land line to obtain Broadband access.

Mobile broadband gives you the flexibility to go online when you're out and about or even at home, without being hooked to a wire in the wall. Mobile Broadband enables you to send and receive emails at the park, work in a different office for the day with a client, download music when you're at the bach for the weekend, keep track on your TradeMe bid or even check Facebook at home on the deck.

How does it work?

Vodafone Mobile Broadband is the latest way to connect to the internet. It uses the same technology as your mobile phone, except instead of making a voice call from your mobile, you are making a data connection from your computer to the internet via the data SIM card in your device, for example a Vodem Stick.

How fast is Mobile Broadband?

When you are working within 3G broadband coverage, you will on average experience much faster access and download speeds than dial up access speeds.

Easy to set-up

Whether you are a Mac or a PC, a desktop or a laptop, Vodafone Mobile Broadband modems work for everyone. We've got lots of ways in which you can connect - the most popular being our Vodem Stick. Simply plug it in and it practically installs itself! Easy.

Who can use it?

If you're a laptop or desktop user with a USB port, you can access Mobile Broadband using our new Vodem Stick which offers a true plug and go experience with no complicated installation to worry about.

We also have a number of other devices, for example the Vodafone Mobile Connect card
