Mobile Internet 2011

That sounds pretty good to me too. And exactly the last question I need answering! We too can compare dongles at Easter!

Ok can someone tell me if I am wrong here because I think I may have jut found what I need

I can buy a mobile dongle from T Mobile for £39.99 on their "pay upfront" package

I can not bother using it in the UK because I don't need it ..... I just use my iphone which gives me unlimited internet

I can then come over to PP with my laptop ( small but not quite netbook small ) and when I plug in this dongle I will get presented with a "euro booster page" .... I can then select the £10 for 50mb option and hey presto I have internet for a tenner.... if this is the case and I havn't missed anything this HAS to be the best bet for anyone who can usually do what she needs to do via the many wifi locations but just wants the convenience of being able to get online occasionally without venturing past the front door.

Well those of you in the know ..... am I right or is this too simple ........... because it seems a lot cheaper than the spanish options ..... oh I do know that 50mb doesn't get me much but at £10 its a lot cheaper than it would cost if I just data roamed on my phone as £10 would only get me about 8mb

Also ..... does anyone know what happens if I don;t use up all of my "booster megabytes " are they there waiting for me when I return to PP ?

That would do for lots of people although the low price euro boosters only last for 24 hours or when the data allowance is used ( which ever is first)

The 30 days for £40 is OK but only 200 MB of data which is OK for emails and a bit of forum postings etc but not for heavy use like you tube or uploading lots of photos.
That should be enough for most people for a two week holiday though.

It's complicated isn't it

Has anyone got an update on the MiFi option? I was told that Vodafone was offering this but can't find any details.

Vodafone UK do this mobile wi-fi device:

Share Your Mobile Internet Connection With Mobile Wi-Fi – Vodafone
doubt its any use in Spain though unless there is a spain version or someone can unlock it.

To share a dongle Vodafone do this in the UK:
Share Your Internet Dongle Connection With Sharing Hub – Vodafone

None of those links are much use for Spain though unless there is a Spanish version.
