GET BOX UK PROGRAMME

Jangala, in collaboration with VM02, is rolling out 5,000 internet-enabling ‘Get Boxes’ to households, schools, community centres, refuges, and homeless shelters across the UK. You can read more about this in our announcement page.

Thank you for your interest in Get Box, our easy-to-use, cost-effective solution to digital poverty.

We will not be taking on any new orders at this time but we appreciate your patience as we work to be able to continue providing these for organisations bridging the digital divide across the UK.

We'll update this page if and when new Get Boxes are available. In the meantime, if you would like to leave your details so we can get in touch with you if and when we are able to provide you with Get Boxes please complete the short form below.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Get Box and how does it work?

    Get Box is a simple and smart personal internet connectivity device. For more information visit our Get Box page.

  • Can I apply for a Get Box as an individual?

    Unfortunately, you cannot currently apply for Get Box as an individual as Jangala only works through partner organisations. This is so that we can support as many people as possible to get online with limited resources. If you are an individual experiencing digital exclusion please do visit the Good Things Foundation’s website where you can find an Online Centres Network centre near you.

  • How do I become a project partner?

    If you are interested in becoming one of our project partners , please register your interest by completing this form.

  • How will the Get Boxes be distributed?

    Jangala will distribute the Get Boxes to its project partners. We ask that our project partners take on the responsibility of delivering the Get Boxes to their end users.

  • Are there any costs associated with Get Boxes?

    No. Jangala and VM02 cover the cost of the hardware, delivery and ongoing support costs. Data will be provided for free through the National Databank.

  • Who does Jangala work with?

    We work with organisations, councils, charities or schools who work with people who need connectivity. The reasons for digital exclusion are varied, and we are committed to tackling it in all its forms. Our current partners include schools, education charities, NHS trusts, local councils, refuges, refugee charities and digital inclusion charities. If you are unsure as to whether your organisation qualifies, please get in touch.

  • What will responsibilities be as a project partner?

    Our project partners are responsible for delivering Get Boxes to the people they work with and ensuring they are set up and in use. You will also work with Jangala to monitor and support the Get Boxes.

  • What is involved in setting up Get Box?

    Get Box is a very easy device to set up. There are simple instructions included. Essentially, Get Box will need to be plugged into a power socket and loaded with a data SIM card and within minutes, the Wi-Fi will be ready to use.

  • How much data do I get with a Get Box?

    For every Get Box, VM02 will provide a SIM card with 25GB of free data each month for 12 months through the National Databank.

  • How many people can Get Box Wi-Fi support?

    Each Get Box can support up to 10-20 people when the signal strength is good. This may be less in areas of poor signal. If more than 10 people need connecting in a single place or larger setting (such as a building with multiple rooms), Jangala will work with your team to explore your options.

  • The people we support live in areas of very low signal - will Get Box still work?

    Get Box will still work but low signal will affect the quality of the Wi-Fi.
