Hi Phil.
This card is really a mobile phone on a PC card. Some of them will let you
talk as well if you plug a headset into the PC but I'm not sure if you can just
buy them off the shelf as I don't know whether they use standard sims to
connect to the mobile provider or whether they come hard coded from the provider

Hi Graham,
Yes this is a possibility but I was also thinking of the service whereby you
don't need to physically connect to your mobile but rather have an additional
card you insert into the laptop which let's you go online wherever. Sorry, I'm
struggling for terms here!!!
Thanks,
Phil

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.
Cheers

Hi,
Am doing some research on providers of 'go anywhere' broadband services - I.e.
connecting wirelessly via a laptop anywhere and not at specific hotspots. 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
