Hi George,
Ibrahim is right by saying it all depends on the tarrif you chose with
Vodaphone. I wanted a tarrif where I can call cheaper when abroad since
family and friends live their. I understand the same is possible for
internet rates.
I gather vodaphone will be able to tell you more about this and also
I've just received a text message that roaming charges are about to drop
from july maybe that'll work for internet too?
I'll let you know, when I know more,
Best wishes, madleen

Hi George.
It all depends on the mobile broadband package your wife has taken out
with Vodafone. Is it one that allows for roaming? Is the network
she'll be connecting to in Denmark 3G or HSDPA enabled? If the answer
to those two questions above is yes, then there is no reason why she
can't use her mobile dongle abroad although I should caution you that
roaming costs can be quite expensive and are usually charged by the
megabyte. It may also be worth investigating whether Vodafone have any
partner networks in the country your travelling to; For instance, Three
my own network of choice had a service where if you were in a three
sister network in select countries, you could use your home data, calls
and texts allowance including mobile broadband just as you would do at
home.
All the best and I hope the above helps you somewhat.

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.
