free mobile broadband dongle????

You only get the free wi-fi with O2 if you have bought the broadband, you can connect to the internet with wi-fi but you need to have wi-fi card in your pc

So you can access the WiFi hotspots e.g. McDonalds free for one month.

thx i'm learning quite a lot on this thread,

to access wifi hotspots do the hotspots have to be public places or can i use a wifi hotspot whislt at work?

Wi-Fi is provided by The Cloud, if you load up the o2 software click on the magnifing glass you can then search public hotspots, you dont need the dongle to be inserted as you use your computers wi-fi card

If you have a wi-fi card then you can access stuff at work annyway

OP, I'm slightly intrigued by the fact that your night job allows you to surf for 10 hours at a time.
Are there any vacancies i wonder?

i've never purchased a wifi card so unless there was 1 in the laptop when i bought it then there's no wifi card installed.

All laptops in the last 4/5 years have wireless already installed. How did you connect your laptop before?

If you're laptop is fairly recent it will more than likely have wifi.
