Hi @Pauline6750
It depends on if you want a permanent mobile broadband solution, or you have enough data to tether to your phone.
Thanks

Hi @Pauline6750
You've had some great advice already, but to add to this..
WiFi is just a connection from a mobile device to a router. What you then need is for the router to have an internet connection, either over a fixed-line or mobile network.
The mobile broadband routers that are being suggested, allow the device to "breathe in" mobile network signal, and "breathe out" WiFi signal to any device that wants to connect.
The router then manages all the connections in-between. You will need to check that EE mobile coverage at your caravan location is sufficient to achieve a good internet connection - use the coverage & status checker for this.

Hi @Pauline6750
If you are looking at a long term solution to internet in your static caravan then you are best off looking at a router and a plan if you are to use a separate device for your internet service.
Alternatively as I mentioned if this is a short term solution then you could tether (mobile hotspot) to your phone, but this would depend on your mobile tariff and available data.
