Do you mean data, like stuff you download or do you mean a device like a router whereby you connect to via *WiFi*?

If what you mean data - internet and stuff, a simple fix is to change tariff or provider to get more data allowance, or, stay with your current provider and get a 3G/4G or 5G dongle that you'll have to plug into a source like a powerbank, laptop etc which has a sim card in it - I'm sure all network providers will sell you one and connect to that via your phone's WiFi and the dongle will will supply you data needs.

Hope that helps.

Give your network provider a ring and enquire about the cost of adding more data for the remainder of your contract, if your out of a contract shop around.

I've got a contract we EE and had 100gb which I was going over every month, I upgraded to unlimited date for a extra £9 month.

Give your network a call, 10mb is nothing, it must be an old contract that had rolled on.

100 Gig however, is a hell of a lot of data to use on a phone. you must a have wrist like Eddie Hall!

3 do a sim only deal with unlimited internet for £25 a month. I have it on my mobile and I use it as a wifi hot spot so I can use my tablet without worrying about running out of data.

I hotspot my laptop daily when working on site, I also use it for hot spotting my Xbox when in a hotel room.

I can use 100GB in a week easily if I push it.

Not sure what you mean by a wifi booster.
If you're tied to a contract then you could put an additional sim card into an old phone and tether to it when your data runs out.
https://smarty.co.uk/ pricing is good. You're not tied to a contract with them just pay for the months as you need to.

If you're not tied to a contract then just switch to a plan with more data
