(RIP) PLANK · 27-09-2010, 19:38

anybody else got one?

extreme-4x4 · 27-09-2010, 19:40

02 i got but rarely use pay as you go

(RIP) PLANK · 27-09-2010, 19:41

i had an 02 one but couldn't get a signal so i sent it back

i'm pleased with the 3 one, and i didn't fancy 3 as their phone service is a bit hit and miss.

dont virgin or one of them do roll over time on there's so you keep you download allowance .

guess it depends on if its contract or payg whats worth having. 3 is on the same signal as t mobile init ?

apparently, 3's phone service is pants, but their mobile broadband is all 3g (most phones still use 2g apparently) and so is pretty much the best around. I've been conecting usin HPSA wich according to the net is 3.51 g and it's faster than the broadband in the house, brilliant

I use a vodaphone dongle when I am caravanning, recon it costs about 20p per hour to use, can be a bit slow but I dont mind when I am relaxing in the caravan. Sites charge up to £5 per hour!!! although I did visit one where the charge was £1.00 for 24 hours which I though was reasonable. regards bri

Use a 3 dongle in Midlands at my parents. Excellent service, quite fasst considering. Best to check 3 coverage in the area you want to use it.

my dongle costs £15 for 3gb allowance which lasts 30 days ( 3 mobile )

Use my n97 as a modem and doesnt cost anything,just connect to pc by cable and turn ovi on and connect never failed.

mine is 3, I pay £7.50 a month for 5gb and so far it hasn't let me down in the places i frequent where orange and 02 have. Though my 02 phone goes where others can't

my vodaphone dongle (the old ones, still available on ebay) cost £15 and has lasted me since my son bought it me for last xmas, I have been using it on and off since then till two weeks ago when I had to buy another £15 worth. This as included twelve weeks caravanning when I used it most nights some times at home when the talktalk was off and the odd day out when I have taken the laptop with me. Very good value at about 20p per hour. regards bri

So which is the best to get then?
I fancy one just for the Hell of it really, but didn't want to end up paying £15 every month as well as the one in the house. What's the cheapest way?
£15 since Xmas or £7.50 a month sounds OK.
