Hi Paul. Not been following this thread and the subject is well away from
it but I use Vodafone as it is the only company that has good reception in
my block of flats. Also, vodafone coverage is good in many parts of north
east scotland and I know of people in Northern ireland who say it offers
the
best coverage there outside the big cities.
There are however some areas even inside london where O2 has better
coverage
so it really is subjective.
One way you could check out coverage for yourself is to get a pay as you
go
sim for the networks you are interested in and check them. Obviously your
phone needs to work with the networks you want to test it on but if you
have
an unlocked phone you can easily test with more than one provider.
Cheers
Graham

Hi Paul,
I think coverage is subjective. I think Voda is pants in certain areas
including mine, so there you go.
All the best
Steve

Really!
How do you find their coverage though?
I would consider them again but past experience has been that they offer
fantastic deals like the one you mention but the coverage is pants.
Would be interested to know.

If you have Vodafone's unlimited Internet package I think it is currently
500mb a month, it may be 800mb but quite a bit for most people. You might
use it all if you download podcasts and stuff like that.
I think they charge you a £1 per day once you have exceeded your limit.
So,
they say it is unlimited but it isn't really.
Anyway, unless you have 3g or 3.5g service in your area, you would be
better
using wireless as it is faster in most cases.
Someone else correct me if I am wrong.

I think the best thing is to wait until the person who set it up for me is
available again. He cannot understand me wanting to access my e-mails
through my phone and that does not help. Yet he is a PC software buff and
that is his job. I can use my Vodafone contract at present I am just
afraid
I will end up with a big bill but I have checked with them again and they
say it is unlimited internet access. What worries me is that my nephew
had
a contract with them and he maintained they were charging him more every
month and that he had not used up all his allowances but then maybe that
was
just him.
Yes I have a security set up in my home one. I must just find the bit of
paper and then I'll be fine. I think it is usually a very large number
like
25 letters and numbers or maybe it is smaller like 10, I am not sure.

Eleanor,
Without the other information you'll not be able to set it up, when you
connect your PC or laptop to the wireless hub are you asked for a security
key? do you know what this is? how many characters long is it?
This might help me guess which protocol it uses, do you have any
information
from BT about how to connect to it, did they tell you anything?
