Mobile Broadband while Roaming - will I get a UK IP?
This could be a techie question: If I use a mobile broadband dongle (Vodafone) and roam, surfing using my laptop while I'm on holiday abroad, will I be allocated a UK ip address? My guess is yes as the APN (access point) settings are UK ones and they are fixed, but I really don't know... Thanks for any help.
