Hi Eleanor. You'd typically use mobile broadband with a laptop, the whole point of it being mobile and for use anywhere you are within the UK and overseas like any mobile phone. You get a dongle which plugs in to your laptop and you use connection software to control the connection IE connecting, disconnecting and monitoring your usage. You can also use mobile broadband to send and receive text messages on your computer, however you pay for each message you send and just like a conventional mobile phone service. Hope this helps you in deciding whether to go for it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor Burke To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 4:23 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: 3 Mobile Tony I am very interested in your 3 mobile broadband within Ireland and would like possibly to have such a thing. Can you send me any details off list please? Are you wanting to use it with a laptop and/or a mobile phone? Certainly I use Supernova and would have sufficient vision to click on an icon link.

Yes I have 3 Mobile Broadband which basically is more or less mobile broadband wherever you go in the country. It's a small USB modem which you just plug in and basically goes wherever you go if you wish! Now the problem for me is that when I plug in the modem there is no way that I can find to activate the broadband. There is an icon for a sighted person which I believe is 'connect but my Jaws 8 will not speak that for me. Now somebody put a shortcut to it for me which worked for a while but not now! Now that possibly is another matter, gremlins and that. So basically I would like to know how to start up the 3 mobile broadband internet as a screen reader user? Any suggestions gratefully appreciated. I don't really want to return the product until I have explored all avenues. Oh yes I did contact 3 but they didn't know the answer, sttrangely! By the way I live in Dublin Ireland but the situation of 3 should be something the same as UK I reckon.

I'm on three and use their services without difficulty. Please could you explain what you mean by three mobile? Are you referring to the mobile broadband or the standard mobile service for making calls, sending text and multimedia messages etc. I'd oblige you for further information. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony Sweeney To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 11:22 PM Subject: [access-uk] 3 Mobile Hi all, I have 3 mobile as a ttrial but I don't think that it is accessible! It works when I get on board but to access the to get it going is a problem without sighted assist. Anyone ideas on this? I should say that I'm in Ireland but imagine that the setup should be something similar in the UK.Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter.
