No problem David, I understood what you meant. I'll look into another idea that Mark posted earlier, and see how I get on. Otherwise I'll have to charm the nursing staff to let me use my mobile if I'm not going to cause any difficulties in the vicinity of machinery etc. I use an N91, and have my Email set up on it anyway. Many thanks for your help.

Once the software is installed and working, you can use the card with the minimum of use of the software that it comes with. You use your email client and web browser in the normal way and because the cards are 3 g, they are a luxury compared to a dial up connection. All I do is insert the card, load the software and check whether it's found a connection, then use Internet Explorerand Outlook Express in the normal way. regards David Quarmby quarmby@xxxxxxxxxxxx 07736 087019 0207 217 8023 ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Cairns To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 10:52 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: mobile phone cards Hi John Thanks for that. I'm going to look into it, starting with Vodafone because I know them well at my branch. I don't really understand how it all works to be honest, and I'm not going to pretend I know what I'm talking about. What slightly concerns me is how accessible any software you need to use will be with JAWS. If it's all mouse-driven, that's not going to be easy for a start. I'll post anything significant if I get to grips with it myself (smile.)

I wonder if this is true. I am looking in to doing this via bluetooth using my e65 modem but I am having difficulty in loading my bluetooth tdk drivers. it says no bluetooth found even when the cable is plugged in. with my braille note pk I can use my e65 so then I can use the internet with the price being £1 per day with t mobile. I think there are all different cards available vodafone orange and the like. be interested to know how you get on. I wonder when you plug this device in if it takes over the connection in internet explorer. very interesting though. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq -- No virus found in this incoming message.
