Upon booking your Pocket Mobile Wi-Fi on the VisitBritain Shop you will receive an immediate confirmation of payment from VisitBritain. You will then receive a separate email from Tep Wireless within 1-2 working days with collection point details. Print both and bring along with your ID (passport) in order to collect your Mobile Wi-Fi.
The 4G signal covers 98% of the UK territory. If you wish, you can check the coverage in the areas you plan to visit.
Please note: In the event that a replacement device is sent out to you and this is non-operational, please get in touch by sending an email to: enquiries@VisitBritainshop.com or telephone +00 44 (0)20 7578 1235 and we will investigate whether there is a signal or service issue in your area. If your device is determined to be faulty, a replacement unit can be shipped same day to a London address and next day to locations nationwide (weekdays only). Alternatively, replacement devices can be collected from the London Paddington Station Tep location from Monday to Sunday.
