I dare say this question will surprise the mobile phone experts, but here goes. My wife travels regularly to Denmark, and was sold a USB dongle by Vodafone which, she was assured would provide access abroad. Well it seems the sales person in the Northampton shop was about as bright as a toc h lamp. Head office assured my wife that this will not work outside the U.K. So what do you guys use with your laptops to access the internet and check mail when sitting on a train in a foreign country?
