Buying A Dongle?
9 Answers
We have broadband etc at home and plenty of internet connection.
We are off to Aussie for one month, and staying in a house with no internet at all --no p.c's. So will take laptop hoping to find internet cafe or whatever, unless we spend time with another relative while there.
Dont know a thing about dongles and how they work.
Can i get one just for one month?
Just a simple plug in thingy?
Got a cheap pay as you go mobile, so thats no good.
Can you advise me on what to buy please?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have an O2 dongle. It is PAYG and you can top it up for 24hrs, 7 days or 28 days. It depends how much data you need as to the cost. But for 28 days for me is £15.58 and that gives me enough to surf the net send emails etc. you don not need to top this up each month which is cost effective for me.
I would imagine you could buy a similar product when you are at our destination.
All you do is plug them in do a small download and as long as you are near urban life you should be ale to log on. The only time I used all my data was when I downloaded all my sons wedding photo's

I would strongly advise you to wait until you get to Australia and purchase a pay-as-you-go dongle once you get there.
If you take one from the UK then you will need to purchase a new SIM card for it in Australia to work with their phone network.
Vodafone has very patchy coverage outside the big cities so don't be tempted by their cheaper price unless you are staying all the time in a big city.
Two years ago I I bought a Vodaphone one in Hobart but was useless as we travelled around.
Pay the extra and get one for the Telstra network.
