Internet connection through my mobile

jamieadi

I am a complete novice as far as mobiles go, but I can get around the internet on my laptop when it is plugged into the home phone.

My problem is that sometimes I need to get on the web when I am in my car away from home.

How can i connect to the internet with my laptop through my mobile

Please help

Not cheap. I'm not an expert but wifi (WLAN) may be the cheapest. You need to be at a "hotspot". Some are free, others (e.g. BT openworld) are subscription only.

I'm sue somebody with more info will soon be along with a few urls....

The best thing to do (apart from investigating the option of wifi as suggested above), would be to call the networks and ask them what data only plans they have. ( A lot of them will have these for business customers, and from speaking to other people, it seems to be pretty negotiable>)

The other thing you may be able to get is a mobile data card which you pop in the slot in your laptop and away you go!!

Again, with this, contact the mobile operators for quotes, but compared to regular internet access, it is pretty dear!
