mobile broadband in uk and oz?

exclusive deals between 3 mobile is there any coming soon? Was there not an offer for this half price not long ago?Anyone know when the next one might be?

Also i just purchased myself a Acer Aspire One A150L how hard or easy is this to work with this item,what modem i would need and what i need to do as i think i need to tweak a little.

Also i would be using this in the uk,but also in australia in the near future,im sure i read that using the above 3 mobile they charge the same as if i was in the uk is this correct,but other networks are more expensive if using abroad.

Anyone give me advice on this and what i am best getting and what deals etc,i worked out the useage i would need per month,but want the best and cheapest deals.

    Your best bet is contacting Three to find out if it'll work abroad. Most people here know about UK broadband, overseas is a whole new broadband.

    It's not an issue of compatibility, all are USB connected, so unless your laptop doesn't have a USB connection then you're ok.

    The key is network coverage, which is why I said to ring Three because you need to find out how the roaming side of the mobile broadband works & if it works.
