Customer Reviews

works well so far!
I bought this for use in our motorhome. (Had tried Datawind pocketsurfer which was very disappointing). I have Broadband at home so do not want a monthly contract mobile one as well.
I chose Vodafone a)because my Vodafone phone works at all the places we usually visit on holidays and b)it is PAYG and the money does not expire after a month as some others appear to do.
The dongle just installs itself, no CD software needed, and away you go. I tried it at home on my computer and laptop. No problems on either although I have not been away yet in the motorhome with laptop and dongle. (I will update this when I have used it on holiday!)
My one disappointment (hence only 4 stars) is that you can not use it abroad. I wanted to use it in Europe this summer. Vodafone's monthly contract mobile BB can be used abroad so if they are reading this, please make the PAYG one international too.
I am convinced that mobile Broadband is going to be VERY popular and this one is ideal if you don't want a contract for whatever reason.
(NB this is July -have used dongle lots of times for emails & webpages & still have over £13.50 left of the £15 it came with. BUY it.)

Good for keeping up with emails
We wanted to be able to pick up emails while on holiday without being tied into a contract so this dongle was ideal. It was easy and reasonably quick to set up. It worked well, if a little slow, once we found the right direction to point it (we were in a poor mobile reception area). We are hoping for same result on our next holiday. N.B. Air time is valid for 6 months, not indefinately.

not all that
had this a couple of weeks now not very impressed . goes on G3 at start but then switches to GPRS which is slow . the reason I gave it three stars is because the credit doesn't expire , so until the software and coverage is hopefully sorted not going to cost much .
