Further to Ian and Web&Walk

I got a phone package through Carphone warehouse from T-Mobile which included web&Walk for £7.50 a month, I was assured the phone could be used to connect the laptop. Not so said T-Mobile when I complained it was a bit hit and miss and charged another fiver to make it better for laptop use.....and I'm not happy about being misled by CPW or T-Mobile for grabbing

Even so £12.50 a month for unlimited access via 3G or GPRS dependent on coverage in the UK, I'm on it now in deepest Somerset, signals rubbish but no worries about how much data moves, nothing extra to pay and if I can ever get a decent 3G signal it's quite quick

With Voda you get a signal anywhere but hells bells you pay for it.

I would say the problem lies with Carphone as we had similar complaint and will never use them again.

I have a vodafone data card. For £30 a month i can access internet via gps or wifi hotspots with a 250mb monthly limit. If you want to be mobile in this country it's not a bad way. Downsideis it's a 12 month contract, but there are other supliers. Abroad, it depends on how long you are away and to where you are going.  We were on the costa azahar in feb and the site we stayed at had cards that you bought for various amounts (I paid 30 euros for unlimited use for a month) and this card could be taken to other sites on the network. I also sae the same vodafone package in a spanish hypermarket so look around, and you will connect

Hi you have the same as me then, but a difference in the monthly payment mine is £20 plus VAT can I ask where you got yours from as it is of interest to others who can't now get the card from Adams phones (business customers only now) thanks.

Hi again,  I bought my card from vodafone. My phone package is with them and for anyone else out there with a vodafone contract, I've also got their at home package. £25 a month for unlimited calls to geographical numbers 24/7 and 8mg broadband again unlimited access. 

To get the card all you have to do is go into any vodafone shop.  Hope this helps
