Hey

I haven't been on Three for about three years and when I left, you couldn't use the internet (apart from my3) when roaming on Orange's 2G network, is this possible these days?

Thanks

    I can, on an LG viewty using opera mini if that makes any difference, but its so slow it just isnt worth the hassle when your not in a 3g or HSDPA area, it takes forever to load a page when its just on GPRS

    It's possible with X-Series. I think the standard internet add-on doesn't permit it.

    Thanks, for all the replies. This is why I left Three in the first place, looks like nothings changed.

    Just get the X-Series addon. It costs the same as Internet Max, and has a wider range of ports open, and works in non-3G areas. :)
