Get a vodafone USB conector, normally £52.95p but if you order online you get it for £2.95p I think. Try google search and type in vodafone 3g.

Thing with vodafone wifi you can do it from the m/h. No need to go to places with hotspots.

Here's some info maccy d's use BT Openzone hope this helps. If all else falls just.


Using BT Openzone
BT Openzone provides access to the Internet and the ability to get secure and fast connection to corporate networks while working "on the pause" away from the office. Users with a laptop and a Wireless LAN access card and software can access data at speeds of up to 500 kbps (almost 10 times faster than a standard 56K modem), enabling them to send and receive large quantities of information at broadband speed. Users need to be within range of an Openzone site (approx. 100 metres) - zones will be badged with the BT Openzone logo.
Anyone with a Wi-fi enable device, such as a laptop with an Intel Centrino chip, can instantly access Wi-fi hotspots. Users without an enabled device can buy a wireless LAN card, such as a BT Voyager card, from as little as £25.
Prices
Subscriptions start at just £10 a month for 120 minutes. Occasional users can use the new pay-as-you-go option at 20pence per minute or the one-hour pass for £6. A full list of prices is available at www.bt.com/openzone.

Maplins sell a Wi-Fi detector for around £14 you just press it and it looks for signal and strength about the size of a credit card

If it will work on a laptop it will work on a desktop! The PC will see it as a modem!

Go onto the webpage I gave you Samm it explains everything but make sure you go for the USB connection and not the data card as not all laptops have data card slots.
