virgin mobile and orange payg dongle?

Chrysalis · 23-05-2010, 12:16

Ok I need a dongle to use when at my parents, they live in cromer.

it seems only orange and virgin mobile have some coverage there, orange the better one.

but seems both providers offer contract dongles only?

if I am wrong can someone please post me a link of where to get a payg dongle for one of these 2 networks, thanks.

If virgin have coverage then so should t-mobile as VM uses the T-mobile network.

Have a look at the t-mobile site http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobil.../mbbpayperday/

I have used both T-mobile and Orange dongles and T-mobile is by far the best.

t-mobile's checker somewhat less positive tho, limited which doesnt distinguish between poor and no coverage.

I will get one tho and hope it works thanks.

the problem I have there is although my parents have fixed line internet they have a usb modem and no router, my dad is very paranoid about anyone using his laptop and especially about me using it for work monitoring which I will need to access whilst there. all his neighbour's wireless are secured.

if it means anything my t-mobile payg phone gets 5 bars there.

could you not pick up a cheap asdl router to use while you are there?

5 bars on 3G?

I got no problem buying a router but my dad will defenitly not let me mess with his setup.

I am confident on that one.

dont know if its 5 on 3g or what, just I get 5 bars on the top left corner.

Well if your getting 5 bars i would say go for it, they are only Â£20 in argos atm. not only that you can use them anywhere lol
