Hi All,
I am very interested in the emails coming in on this topic!
Three appears that it might be worth checking out along withClear wire!
I was probably dreaming or something but I seem to remember something re
Wireless where you could take a device from one area to another and then
plug it in, presumably to the mains as opposed to a phone line!
Could someone clarify this for me, it would be great!
One monthly reasonablwe charge would be good avoiding a second
for the second location!
All the best,
Tony Sweeney.
