I am going to collect a Vodafone Dongle tomorrow so that my old man can use his laptop from his hospital bed.
Can I make it work straightaway? I'm buying it at Currys.

You should be able to, although you may need to activate it if it's brand new. You don't specify what you mean by "collect" - are you collecting it from a Vodafone store, or does it already belong to someone else?

Obviously, you have checked with the hospital that laptops and mobile broadband are permitted, and that you can actually get a signal i.e. that the ward isn't below ground or a long way into the interior of the building...

As I said mark, I'm buying a new one from Currys. Laptops are allowed and it's a small hospital so the room is on the outside.

Apologies. In that case, Currys will surely be able to answer all your questions...

Okey Doke. Thanks.
buying it from currys mark! Oh dear from a man of such attention to detail too :-) yep you should be able to use it straight away.

He he! Ta.
Yes indeed - I apologised for not reading the question properly. It didn't occur to me that anyone buying something like this from a retail outlet wouldn't think to ask the store directly.

And the fact that laptops are permitted does NOT automatically mean that external mobile broadband is...

Mark has great faith that the oik in Currys will know his products.

I'm not so sure.
