Hi Guys,

Could any1 offer some advice for getting mobile Broadband for my Laptop.

I live in the UK and I know that Vodafone offer a G3 broadband mobile modem for doing this but I am new to this whole G3 modem thing and need some advice.

Are there any good deals out there and how much per month would it cost to have a G3 modem for my laptop.

I need to be albe to get online when I am out and about.

Thanks in advanced for any help and advice given.

You would need to speak to Vodafone about pricing, but I think its quite pricey, charging you per MB.

As more and more places are coming wireless it might be worth investing in a wireless network card so that you can connect lke that and then I used to go on the internet with my mobile and laptop VIA Infrared Modem installed in my PHone (Nokia 6600) thus I was using up my contracts free minutes on a Wanadoo free account (0845 number)

@TheRabbi

Thanks for the info.

Are there any other cheaper alternatives to G3 like a PCMCIA wireless Modem? Or does the modem have to go via a Mobile Phone?
