We're not big mobile users and only his older brother has a contract, the rest of us have VM and 3 PAYG SIMs.

I don't know anything about tethering, how does that work?

TVM
Tethering is a feature which allows you to share the 3G/4G data connection on your mobile, generally via wifi (the phone hosts it's own wifi hotspot you connect to from your guest device) or Bluetooth.

Depending on your tariff you may have to get this enabled at extra cost then there will be a tethering limit on the account. If, as you say it's only a light use PayG phone then it may well be worth going for the mifi device.
