3 x series internet access?

willu_2

Thinking of moving over to 3 soon, and considering using their x series add on. Just wondering how restrictive is their internet access(eg. do you only get access to certain sites? Currently got t-mobile web and walk, and can access any website, just a shame the signal is absolutely terrible in my area.) Thanks.

x-series has unrestriced internet access! (the non-xseries internet bundle has some ports blocked)

But with this allow you to use the phone as a modem?? or will you only be able to access the net on the phone? Not clear from looking at their website quickly.

I've been able to access most sites I've tried, and the ones that didn't work tended to work okay at a later stage (just like on a PC.)

The only site I know of that is blocked is Orb's one (and that is unblocked as soon as you upgrade from Silver to Gold)

Three do state that using your phone as a modem isn't allowed with X-Series (it's in there in the T&Cs somewhere.)

5.00 X-Series silver and gold are totally unresticted via your handset ( 10.00 per month gold serves Slingbox and orb thought ) technically you cannot use phone as modem, but staying within your 1GB allowance reports say 3 dont mind so its defo not for streaming via mobile as modem but general browsing is fineand when my orange broadband went down for a week I used it without some streaming and used just short of 600MB ( 400 to go , I use opera browser on laptop/pc as they pass it through thier own servers to compress the data and my xseries silver is great for landlines FREE to over 40 countries landlines via truphone.com, also https://www.fring.com, generic MSN messenger is great too

for the best experience in downloadable applications like opera mini ( free download for your handset yet again compressing data ) Nokia is the way to go for X-Series, some great deals on Nokia N73 at thelink.com I noticed the other dayand N73 supports every application http://www.three.co.uk/customer/linkdocument.omp?cid=1089021441077, other than that Nokia E65 ( no camera ) or the beast that I have is the N95 which is the dogs !!!!!!!!
