Peter, that's exactly why I'm asking because these phone cards you have to buy in hospitals are nothing but a rip-off, and you always have to queue up to get the trolley anyway. You can't tell how long you've got left on the card either if you can't read the display on the phone box. Because I'm going into hospital for a couple of weeks and over 100 miles from where I live, I need to be in touch with home, so a card would be great if I could sort something out.

Yes that is right. Ithink the real reason was that they wanted you to use thevery expensive patient line system. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David W Wood" <g3yxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I think that you will find that most hospitals have now relaxed their
attitude toward mobile phones unless you are in the vicinity of intensive 
care or other department where ECG or other sensitive equipment may be
compromised.
The reaction to the radiation from mobile phones has for far too long been 
over played.

Oh, hang on, can you even use these in hospitals? Don't they use a sim card, 
and thus use technology that could disrupt medical equipment?

Hi Gang

Apologies if this is not the correct name for what I'm looking for
in the subject of this post, but here goes.

I want to get a card that plugs into my laptop so that I can send
and receive Emails or browse the Internet on the move.  Actually, on the
move is just what I won't be (smile.)  I'm hoping to be able to use my
laptop at some point when I go into hospital soon for more back surgery.
I'm on the Vodafone network, and I know there is such a card that plugs into 
a laptop.  Has anyone used one and, if so, how have you got on with it?

Thanks for any info anyone has about these and whether they are more
trouble than they are worth, or even worth buying. I do have my phone set up to send and receive Email, but I don't know if I will be allowed to use 
it, and wondered if a card for my laptop might be another option.

Jackie
