We are on holiday in Eire next week. We are on contract with Orange. I got nowhere yesterday at the shop trying to find out how and the best way to acess the internet next week via our mobile connected to the laptop.

Any ideas


Thanks

    If you're lucky you'll pick up a pirate signal from a neighbour ... I know I did when I was away last week :)

    Careful you can be prosecuted for doing that.

    To the OP - does the hotel you are staying in, not have internet access?
