The web on your phone?

[scotsy]

I was going to buy a vodafone PAYG dongle until i discovered this little gem.



As a virgin customer at home i also have the £10 /month mobile phone deal (uses T-mobile) which includes 300 minutes and 300 texts. My phone is a Nokia N95 which i bought because it has a really good camera built in (5MP) and saves me having to carry both around. I was informed recently that i could ask virgin-mobile to enable web access so that if i can't find a 'free' wireless connection nearby i could still go 'surfing' for a charge of only 30p a day, you only pay for the day(s) that you use it and although its advertised as 'unlimited' they do stipulate a 'fair use policy' which means you start paying after using 25MB per day.

I now have the ability to access email and go web browsing wherever i get a phone signal and it only costs me 30p for each of the days i use it/if i use it (but it would have extra charges after using 25MB on one day)



This phone can also be used as a modem to connect my laptop to the system (i've tried it and it does work) but the 'fair use policy' says that sort of use isn't allowed.

Any use to anyone?

Afraid not I've got a dongle!

I have a n73 on PAYG with T mobile. I use it when away from home as a modem to my laptop. Cost £2.50 for 5 days which is in effect 6 days.

I appreciate there is a fair use policy but have had no problems. I have even had 3G which is faster than I have by landline at home
