GPRS & 3G card readers have become very popular with the hospitality industry due new pandemic restrictions, taking payments in the outside area becomes an issue when the WIFI or bluetooth will not reach into these areas.
Having at least one mobile card reader in a business can also act as a safety net if your broadband goes down.
