Internet access while on holiday in Greece

seg1959

I got the "free" dongle from Three and unlocked it following the instructions posted elsewhere in this forum (I am not allowed to post links, but the title of the thread is "Unlock your ZTE 627 Mobile Broadband Dongle (the free one from MicroP)").
In Greece, I walked into a WIND shop (they are everywhere) and bought a pre-paid 7-day internet card for 14 Euros, and hey presto - 7 days UNLIMITED injternet access (well, up to 16GB download capacity) for less than £12. Pretty good deal if you need internet and you cannot get to an internet cafe.
For the technicaly minded, the only thing you need to do to make it work is to set the APN to "gint.b-online.gr" and the dial number to *99#.

I am sending this sitting by the beach - yes, I know I am sad but I thought I'd share this anyway!

Sorry, I should have made it clearer - this is the SIM card which you put into the USB dongle that plugs into the laptop; it was all covered in the original thread I was referencing in my message.

This is the setup I am using right now :- an ASUS EEEPC laptop, an unlocked "3" dongle (as per referenced thread) and a WIND 7-day pre-paid ADSM SIM card.

As I cannot post links yet, see www dot wind dot com dot gr and look for pre-paid ADSM plans.

And I need to correct a mistake in my original message: the fair usage policy is 7GB of downloads in 7 days.
