Vodafone do a PCMCIA 3G data card, I had use of one for a couple of months
about a year or two ago. I think T-mobile do have something similar. The Voda
one is a monthly contract:

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
Graham

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
