Share 3G over wifi thingy?

Can anyone recommend a good and / or cheap way to share a 3G connection over wifi? Had a look at routers today but can't find anything below 30. No idea what they should cost, but maybe less?

Also, do I need a good one or will anything do?

Android phone?

I borrowed a 3 dongle off a mate when I moved house and needed internerdz.

I've got one kicking around somewhere, let me see if I can find it.

If so you are welcome to it.

^ that'd be ace, thank you!

I want to be able to share one 3G connection over a few devices, and do so abroad. I'm in the summer house at the mo and were 3 iPads all with their own data plan which is wasteful to say the least. It's also shit connection so on a sunny day the router will go up the the flag

That dongle uses 3G to provide a wifi connection - any number of devices can connect to it.

Same feature that most newer Android handsets provide. Wifi Hotspot

Ah cheers, didn't read properly

Phone doesn't work as I'll be using it mainly abroad

Get a local (foreign) dongle?

Got the dongle and a top up SIM card, but want to share it over wifi. No computers at hand either, nor androids

As hippy says,. buy something locally. I have a US wifi maker (not a dongle, it sits in my pocket). It means I get charged as if for local access rather than incurring huge international charges.

For Europe, I have the Vodafone traveller package which, at the cost of £3 a day allows my to use my ophone as if in the UK..

Oh, I look for WiFi whereever anyway. In most places free WiFi is not too far away.

Yep, you need a Mifi. Rather than a USB dongle, it's a separate device, which connects to 3G, and then shares out a Wifi connection.

It means no installation of any software etc, just connect devices to it over Wifi.

I have one of these: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5491195.htm

Though of course, if you want to be at the cutting edge, you'd need a 4G mifi. Seems to be monthly only, at the moment though:
