Accessing Emails when on the Road

Options
I have a Microsoft Live business Email account and I want to be able to access my mail when I am on customer sites and out and about. From what I have learnt a wireless connections wouldn't be any good as it would do the distance.

How do other people connect when out. I don't want to ask my clients for an internet connection as I think it is a bit cheeky.

Any solutions. Some places I work at won't allow access as it is classed as a hotmail account. I have tried Freepops and Gemail but it didn't seem to work. Any ideas would be great.

    most liberies have internet connections
  • A Mobile Office Card, get one from ebay, go with an Orange branded one because you can pay £1 for a day at GPRS speed unlimited bandwidth.

    Or get a smartphone/PDA.

    I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario, and always have access to emails while on the road.
    Of course, I may just be talking b****cks!

    The best solutions so far that I have come across is what someone mentioned above " a mobile office card" which apparently caost £1 per day. Can I get these for say X amount but are for so many hours instead of for a set day. A bit like a top up card? I have had a look on the web can't find anything but to be honest I don't know what I am looking for.

    I might even resort to going to the dreaded PC world and just say waht do I need and get it. - I don't want to do that as I would prefer to help my self.

    It does cost £1 for a day aka you send the activation text at 00:01 and it lasts til 23:59, however if you active it at 6pm its only on for 6 hours. If you have a blackberry just get a USIM pay as you go sim card and use that as this offer from orange yes it is a orange deal is only on pay as you go.

    Buy an Orange 3G GPRS card from ebay and get a Orange USIM then send a text to a secret number with a word so it actives and that text costs £1 and that stops the cost of data cost offline so you can download as much as you want. You can download approx 500MB in the day.
