Hi Phil. Presumably, any mobile company offering 3G services (as all 4 of them in the UK do) should be able to give you this service. 3G was originally marketed as offering the opportunity for users to download and watch videos but I feel that placing more emphasis on the ability to surf the internet faster would have been a better bet. If you have bluetooth on your laptop, you should be able to use this to connect to your mobile phone. From the little research I have done, Orange seems to offer the best rates for Internet Access. Rates are generally based on the amount of data downloaded.

So far I've only found o2 at £30 per month but surely there must be others out there? Anyone else using such a service and if so how much and how good is it? Also I have a centrino laptop with wireless connection, will I need anything else for such services? yes I have done a Google but not much there, or perhaps I was searching for the wrong thing!! As ever any help gratefully appreciated. Cheers, Phil a centrino __________ NOD32 1.1461 (20060329) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
