anyone have a pc internet dongle they are looking to get shot of ? just moved into a flat and contract internet is not an option. Missing my ESATO .
and browsing by phone is killing me lol

I have an O2 one, what you looking at spending?
Sorry, but like I said once you have got one of these topped up, its ususally more expensive than getting proper broadband anyway, but its your choice?

@lukechris
I know its more expensive but dont have a phone line in the flat so not an option

I say don't worry about the postage I will have the kiss instead
I think you may want to use your own sim cos the one in it was registered but I eneded up not using it ever. So I do not know the sim password with it so you can top up.[ This Message was edited by: Bonovox on 2010-04-10 18:08 ]

@lukechris would def have been interested. Thanks for replying. Not sure how bonos will work. My o2 sim is for contract phone so i guess that is not an option. Will try and get an activation for the one that came with the dongle.
Posted by lukechris
No just put in a spare o2 sim, I have one if you like.
Posted by larry 68
does it not have 2 be on a special data only tariff ?
Posted by lukechris
Just get a PAYG sim and install the software on it. You'll see its fine, thats what I did
Posted by Bonovox
Not sure I thought you could use any sim in it but I guess it may not be that way. You could call O2 & ask them tell them you have a dongle with no sim. Sorry I really do not remember the passwords I registered with it when I got it free. Never used it. I am sure O2 can give you a sim to use with it or buy one. When you plug it into the laptop just follow the setup instructions it's easy.
