internet access on the move

I want to be able to access the internet as I travel about without having to look for wifi hotspots.

Can anyone help? I imagine I would use it for no more than 3 hours a week.

Any thoughts on my cheapest option and what should I be wary of?:confused:

Your advice would be great before I make any wrong decisions! :beer:

    For what sort of device you could for example use a Mobile/PDA with either T-Mobile Web n Walk or O2 Mobile Web Bolt on. Or is it for a Laptop, so could use say a 3 USB Modem on PAYG £40 for the modem and £10/30 Days top up up to 1GB.
    Cheers

    If your mobile can access the internet and you have a usb cable you can just use your phone as a modem. Buy a data pack from your mobile company or if your phone is unlocked get a sim from whoever does data cheapest. If you have a nokia it's simple to set up with the software that comes with the phone but I'm not sure about other models.
