For all the doubters:-

It says its only for your phone, but I use GPRS dialup via bluetooth and it works fine, how they will ever be able to tell is another thing, and even if they can whats the worst that can happen - they'll bar your simcard and you lose a few quid credit. I've been using this for over a year now, no problems. The bonus is that if you use the simcard for your phone as well you can do the anytime tariff which means 12p to anyone, any network, anytime.. really good deal for light users like myself.

Thanks very much for the input. I am hoping that the 3G ipod comes out within the next 3months so no need to buy the dongle.
[QUOTE=chris79;529309]Depends how you want to do this, and how it works out for you but I use t-mobile pay as you go, and use bluetooth GPRS internet through my mobile phone. The reason for this is that data is capped at just £1 a day, no contract, and you can use it as much as you like. Also you can buy a 5 day internet pass for £2.50 so if you only use it once or twice a week it works out pretty good.

I currently have a payasugo t-mobile sim in my O2 Orbit(MDA...). Does this mean I can do the same as well, surf via cable/bluetooth connection to my laptop?

I guess coverage is an issue, but I read somewhere that 3 are sharing their 3G infrastructure with another company (T-mobile?) now to improve that.

I'm on O2 and have their unlimited data bundle for something like £6.50 per month. I use bluetooth to access the 3.5G / 3G / GPRS Internet via my mobile phone anywhere, anytime. And to think people are paying extra for those 3G dongles!

I have a 3G phone with Orange - get unlimited data after 7pm, before 7am, and at weekends. PAYG per MB (£2 I think). I can also have a days unlimited for just £1.
When in a 3G area, it really does fly - just as fast as my home broadband.
Considering I pay just £10 a month for 450 minutes and 300 texts, I think I have a cracking deal.
I think you can also get the £1 deal on a PAYG sim as well.

(They also do a bog-standard SIM card, or did, which doesn't support Internet access. But the Internet variant may be standard by now.)
