Hi Guys

As I recently moved I don't have internet access at the moment so I'm using MacD's WIFI. However, I tried to check my yahoo email account and it is blocked - something to do with content. Is there anyway I can get around this to check my emails?

    Probably not, after all it's free.
    My family uses WhatsApp a lot and we've found in our travels that many places offering free WiFi (such as most airports) block that. Can't blame them, it can use a lot of bandwidth.

    You didn't get around to getting a MiFi? Procrastinator!

    You could have even popped in to Argos to purchase this Huawei E5330 3G MiFi replete with a 6GB data SIM for £20: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4471714.htm

    Nifty, I've been busy with moving and yes I did buy myfi but returned it to vodafone as the signal was weak in my new area. Need to get settled in and sort out internet.

    You don't need to go with Vodafone...in fact most wouldn't. EE or 3 would be better.
