MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
The inlaws are away next week for a well-earned break, scout leader FiL needs to access the weekly scout Zoom meeting but it doesn't look likely he'll have wifi. His options seem to be a dongle or just hotspot from his phone - is there any advantage to paying the cash for a dongle plus data? Or just get extra data for the phone and hotspot it? The burning question is, do we have idea how much data a Zoom (or equivalent) meeting with audio and video uses on, say, an hourly basis? It shouldn't make a difference how many are on the call, should it?
How much data Zoom uses is readily googlable.
Smarty do a monthly SIM-only contract with 30Gb for a tenner and unlimited data for £20 if his existing data plan is crap.
A dongle doesn't really give you much advantage over the phone's data connection unless his phone is ancient. Saves swapping SIM cards if he buys a new one I suppose, seems a bit extravagant for something they he'll likely use twice though.
I accidentally did a zoom guitar lesson on tablet through mobile data and I seem to remember it using a gigabyte in 30 minutes
Cheers for the Smarty tip Cougar, I was looking for a new phone 'contract' and 3gb for £8 is a steal, especially when they buy back unused data.
Brillo - cheers folks. 🙂
Yeah, it's hard to beat isn't it. I was this > < close to jumping ship from O2 when lockdown happened and a beefy data allowance suddenly seemed far less useful.
They're resellers of Three IIRC.
