MTN MiFi: Connect multiple devices to the internet (simultaneously) with a single data plan

MTN MiFi is a portable WiFi device that allows users connect up to
five WiFi enabled devices such as Laptops, mobile phones, galaxy tabs,
iPad, iPhone, Blackberry and other such devices simultaneously to the
internet.

All a customer requires is one data subscription on the MTN Mi-Fi
device, with which he/she can connect the WiFi enabled devices to the
internet, connect to the USB hub on the Laptop, insert the access code
and repeat same code on other devices, the connection comes up, and
voila! you can start to enjoy the service.

For devices without a hub, all you need to is to perform the
connection process on the device, do the same on pair devices and you
are connected.

This creates a richer browsing experience, as well as amazing cost
savings that represent the True Value MTN is synonymous with.
