Advice needed re Vodafone Mobile Broadband

Hi Folks

I signed up to Vodafone Mobile Broadband at the end of July without insurance.

The Contract is for 24 months

Then towards the end of august, I misplaced my USB stick which never was found again.

I am looking for advice how to get a new USB Stick.

Vodafone don't really seem to helping as I cannot buy a new USB stick, which is around £ 250.

Another option is to get a 2nd Mobile Broadband contract.

I would like some help.

Thanks

Oscar

I was in a similar situation - my T-Mobile web'n'walk contract has a year to go and the PCMCIA card I had didn't fit my new laptop. T-Mobile only sell an older model USB modem for £99.

In the end, I bought a 3 USB PAYG stick from Argos for £50 (they do black or white):

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500001151&langId=-1&searchTerms=5080582&Submit=GO+%3E

and downloaded the latest version of the software from this site and paid 15 euros via Paypal to unlock it:

http://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy/user_prices

You do not need to register with this site - install the new USB modem, download the unlocker software and run it - this takes you through the payment and unlock process.

So total cost about £63.

Bear in mind that I had my SIM so if you have lost yours you will need to get Vodafone to send you a new one.

Thanks
