Hi George,
As I understand it, if you want data in a foreign land, you have to get a
Sim card for that country. I think that is the only way to do it that I know
of anyway.
Having said that, when I went to Cyprus, my Sim just worked.
I don't use dongles though, I use Walking Hotspot,

All the best
Steve

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?
George.
