Anyone got one?
What do they do? Do you just put your SIM in and get a fast internet connection? Are the call charges more than normal?

I have an orange card and got a £45 per month open usage contract

Do you use a separate sim card in the data card itself.

Phil

Yep I have a seperate Mobile

So I do have 2 Orange contracts

OK, thanks, so I could just use any sim in one of these cards, and just pay for data like I would use on my mobile?

Phil

Mmm

I guess so it would need to be 3g to get the fast speeds

OK, thanks for your help.

Phil

No problem at all

Vodafone are rolling out Broadband 3G (HSDPA), upto 3.8Mbs as opposed to about 300Kbs with ordinary data cards. One of my mates got one and gets 2.2Mbs, which is pretty good, don't know the prices though.

I use an o2 one through work. Absolutely superb in my opinion. Probably costs a bit after a while - I don't even see the bill - but be careful.

I have a T-Mobile one which currently runs at 1.8Mbps and costs £17+vat per month.

Was on vodaphone and they are hellishly expensive, if fact i nearly had a heart attack the first month I used it £97 and it was just used to check emails and a few websites.

However that was pay as you go.

havent used it in a while as my latest laptop doesnt have a PCMCIA connector.

I have a Vodafone 3G card for work laptop. As mentioned they are expensive to use on PAYG, but £45/month gives unlimited use.

Proby.

The T-Mobile web and walk professional is limited to 2.5Gb per month, if you sign up for 18months you get the card free.

Just looked on the T-Mobile site...they appear to have changed the tariff...it's now £29 per month unlimited with free Wi-Fi Hotspot...

So, you guys that have got it on pay monthly, is it another sim card that you use in the card itself, and then have your normal one for call in a mobile?
