Hi Tristram, if you already have a contract with Vodafone you can add 500mb data usage allowance for £7.50 a month, and you can cancel anytime. If you don't take out that data monthly allowance they charge you £1 a day every time you use the internet and you get 15mb for that I think. This info was valid until July when I last checked... And if you're using your mobile to go online when you're away for a weekend no need to pay for the modem, just use your handset.

I have been looking at this more seriusly now, it used to be that mobile was so expensive that only business people could really afford it and you needed a monthly contract anyway which would be around £30 or £40 a month. If I pick one of these I will let the list know how accesible it is, there will be softwre that you can use with each of these that will let you know your usage.Vodafone do contract but also do a plan which you do on a month to month basis about £20 (3GB) but I presume you can let it lapse until there is another month on which you need mobile internet, may be alright if you're the sort of person who only needs it when you go on holiday in the UK:http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/mobile-broadband/mobilebroadband/&planDuration=30T-Mobile organise things a little differently with a £4 per day that you use the service within a given month. The limit is 3GB fair use within the month. The adaptor is £99:http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/mobile-broadband/mobilebroadband/&planDuration=30Three are possibly most flexible and quite fast. They give you a tiered pricing thoug the top up process seems a bit complicated. The adaptors range from £45 to £75. Seems an attractive offer:http://www.three.co.uk/personal/products_services_/mobile_broadband_/payg.omp http://threestore.three.co.uk/payg/?modem=1 Regards.

Hi Billy Yes there is. If you don't take out a contract, you will have to pay for the USB modem which normally comes free when you are on a mobile broadband contract. I know Vodafone and T-Mobile both do this on a Pay-As-You-Go basis now. I've never done it, but I believe you plug the USB modem into your laptop and install the software.
