Hi all
 
Was hoping someone could help with the following.
 
In just over a weeks time, I will be going into hospital for around a month.
I will be taking my laptop and phone with me, amongst other things, and need
some information as to what may be my best option with regards to costs for
data usage.
 
I have an iphone, but much prefer to use my laptop for everyday use. 
 
My two options are to either connect my iphone to my laptop and use that to
be on line, or buy a usb dongle.
 
I'm on contract with Vodafone, and included in the plan is 1gb of data.
 
I've never really properly understood how much I use on a daily bases, doing
my regular stuff on line.
 
If I exclude downloading files/music etc, and just concentrate on my outlook
usage, surfing the net etc, roughly how much am I likely to use in a month?

 
With outlook, I probably receive roughly around 100 emails a day, oh, and
I'll also be using msn and Skype to stay in contact with the outside world.
 
Would I be likely to go way over my 1gb allowance?  If the answer is likely
to be yes, would I be best buying a usb dongle?  If the answer to the latter
is yes, could someone suggest a dongle that is accessible.
I use jaws and win 7. 
 
I ask that, simply due to the topic of accessible dongles being discussed
hear in the past.
 
Apologies if the above is too vague for people to give me an informed
response, but any help very much appreciated.
 
Terry
