| Sim Data Plan for laptop I am looking (and failing to find) a data plan that is sim only for my laptop. I have a D620 which has the ability to just have a sim card put into it to get mobile broadband, I don't really want to have to get a dongle if I don't need to as it will just be an extra thing to have plugged in. Does anyone know of any network that does this, or if I get a new P&G sim and pop it in will it work for data? I am with Orange at the moment for my Omnia and have called them but they will only do data with a dongle, which is a shame as they would do an existing customer discount if I went with them. If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? |

| Re: Sim Data Plan for laptop Just to check - you don't just have the SIM slot, you actually have the built-in TrueMobile (frequently TrueMobile 5520) adapter installed? Are you looking for contract or PAYG? Something I'd note is that we've had problems recently with some networks using the TM internal cards and have had to supply dongles instead, same with HP machines with built-in HSDPA. You might consider something like 3's 18-month plans and just keep the free dongle in a drawer in case? |

| Re: Sim Data Plan for laptop Vodafone do a year contract for just under £15/month. That includes a dongle. It might be worth ringing them to see what they will do for sim only. You might get a monthly plan (rather than a 12 month contract) or a reduction as you aren't taking any hardware. Is YOUR system up to Folding? Useful Information about HEXUS There are 10 types of people who understand binary - those that do... and those that don't. |
