Jackie, no doubt there is scare mungering around Vista, but not sure
all of the doubts are unfounded!
Given the troubles I've had with USB connectivity just lately, I
wouldn't be at all surprised if there might tbe something in the
forthcoming Vista Service Pack addressing USB issues, amongst other
things.
Cheers,
From Ray

Yes Mark I agree about a card over USB, that was my thought exactly.
But the chap in T-Mobile said USB would be better because there are so
many laptops out there with different slots that they can't keep up
with which ones to cater for. He also said the cards are quicker,
which you would expect. The guy told me too that the cards don't
support Vista, but whether that's an assumption on his part, or is
really the case, I don't know. People scare-monger when there is a
new OS about.
I'm not with T-Mobile, so I'll need to get hold of a national Customer
Services number to ring from the landline, doubtless at about 8p per
minute or something stupid. But I'll let you know what I find out.

Let us know how you get on Jackie. I am going to ring and ask about
it at some point, as I'm with T mobile anyway. I want to know a
little more about the modem and sim card arrangement . i do prefer
the pcmcia card that I use on the vodafone network as you can fit it
and leave it there. Using a usb modem is just something else to have
to pack and take with you everywhere. But if the price is right, and
all that.
Cheers.

Mark, thanks ever so much for this. I did ask in the shop if they
were doing it on a pay-as-you-go basis, and they said no. But I'll
print off your message and take it down, or perhaps give their
Customer Services a ring.
Brill.

Jackie,
My friend works for T mobile and he sent me the following email just
yesterday. T mobile are indeed starting up a pay as you go data
service using the usb modem you described. Worth asking in the shop
about if you go back perhaps?
