How very interesting Gordon, now I was thinking more negatively that perhaps the hospital would not permit it.

First, have you asked if the hospital has public wireless available?Last November I was gob smacked to discover Dereford hospital in Plymouth did and a password was available through the ward admin person - you may save yourself a fortune!Best of luck G From Bridgerule in glorious Devon, England.

I will be taking my laptop and phone with me, amongst other things, and need some information as to what may be my best option with regards to costs for data usage.I have an iphone, but much prefer to use my laptop for everyday use.My two options are to either connect my iphone to my laptop and use that to be on line, or buy a usb dongle.I'm on contract with Vodafone, and included in the plan is 1gb of data.I've never really properly understood how much I use on a daily bases, doing my regular stuff on line.If I exclude downloading files/music etc, and just concentrate on my outlook usage, surfing the net etc, roughly how much am I likely to use in a month?With outlook, I probably receive roughly around 100 emails a day, oh, and I'll also be using msn and Skype to stay in contact with the outside world.Would I be likely to go way over my 1gb allowance? If the answer is likely to be yes, would I be best buying a usb dongle? If the answer to the latter is yes, could someone suggest a dongle that is accessible.I use jaws and win 7.I ask that, simply due to the topic of accessible dongles being discussed hear in the past.Apologies if the above is too vague for people to give me an informed response, but any help very much appreciated.** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
