Does anybody use this service?? How do you find it??

If it works where you want it to, and don't expect fast speeds, it is excellent. Check the coverage before you buy.

Let's face it, curious, �30 is not a lot to lose.

[curious81]

but is it a case of pay as you go ie �2.00 each day u use it?? Or will they charge me �2.00 every day?? How does it work??

I saw these in Smiths yesterday, you pay as you go at 2 quid a day though there was one that was a poiund a day, the ornage one else the vodafone one, and no contract either! they are 29.99 and 39.99 and yiour first 30 days is included in that, i have an ornage mobile broardband contrcat and it is 15 quid a month but it is very good, except of course i am tied in for 18 months, i have always got a good signal and it works everywhere, very good servie net wise but the customer service by phone is rubbish

It is �2 for a 24 hour period. I don't know exactly how TMobile works, but usually you register a debit or credit card with them and each time you start a new 24 hour period you will be asked to authorise a payment of �2. You won't need to input your card details, just enter a password.
It is �2 per day whether you are online 2 minutes or 23 hours and 59 minutes.
You don't pay for days you are not online.
If you can access a wifi hotspot it is free, don't forget. You only use this device when you cannot access by wifi.

i did read the details on the box and yes you can just add credit as you want, don't have to top up for every day of the month. if it is as good coverage as my contract dongle then it is a good deal. the USB dongle is included and you just plug it in and it downloads the software from the dongle connected t9o the mobile phome mast nearest to you , you will have to register the sim card in the dongle with the mobile phone company and maybe for that you will need to be on the elctoral roll at the registered address like with the contract, check the terms and conds, for that aspect.

I live in a large city and the vodafone dongle doesn't work anywhere near my house, so you do have to be careful about coverage.
Remember the coverage is given as a per centage of the population, not the country, so it is more likely to work in a heavily populated area than in the Scottish highlands.
On the TMobile plan there is a fair usage limit of 3gb a month, which is more than enough for secondary internet.
It may not be fast enough for video streaming, so don't expect too much.

lol, all I want is to be able to use Facebook and recieve emails when on holiday!! I get homesick!!! Sad I know!! Any idea if there is any way of finding out what the coverage is like in a particular town??

I would only be using the dongle away from home, would this cause problems with my internet service provider at home?? ie Tiscali

I put a link to the coverage map. That should tell you.
