dongles

Could anyone advise me on buying a dongle.
I want one that will work in Portugal and don't know which network to use. I want a PAYE. Does anyone know if I should purchase in UK or wait and purchase in Portugal. I have read conflicting reports on which work best.
Thanks :cool:

    With roaming charges taken into account, its probably a good idea to do some research on the cost of buying one locally which is already on the network. Good sources to ask questions like this are on the ex-pat forums

    Chances are, the network and coverage is better over there also.......

    You can go to a TMN shop.

    SIM card is maybe 15 euros. Sim card with dongle 40 euros. Don't know if their dongle is unlocked. Possibly better to get one here that you can unlock. Then you can use it anywhere.

    Another option is Vodafone. Similar costs.
