    Hiya everythin:D

    I have been thinking how to reply to your post.
    I'm not very up on PC's and I'm getting more confused.

    Firstly I'm not really concerned about using the laptop at home it was a gift to use when I go away at weekends and holidays, that's it's main purpose.


    I have the laptop and if I've understood correctly I now have to get a £100 card plus a 3GSim card.

    I'm again thinking that Orange may after all be the best bet as it's a£1 per day that I use it but then do I still have to get both the things I mentioned above.

    Thanks again for your help I may just get connected one day:D :T

    http://www.directmobilephones.com/orange_option_globetrotter_fusion.htm is the website link I said that I would get for you. This Orange data card is the lastest one that some people are selling on ebay for over £80 + postage for a used one, so you might as well get a new one for £100.95. Wireless Access at the campsite is a great idea but what if you are out about in the car search for a shop or something. Which you can use the campsite access point however with these data cards you can be driving, well not you, another driver will and you are using the laptop. lol and you can have internet access, slow speed but for the price of it for all day you cant complain about it. During the summer I used my I got a Merlin U530 data card off ebay second hard of course and to me it does not own me anything because I found it great. Searching for VETs etc...
