This may not help, but I'll report it just in case. I have a legacy T-Mobile tariff which is so good I'd be crazy to give up. I don't have a 3G phone. I just had the barge in dry dock for a week (i.e. away from my home mooring), and wanted an internet connection while there. Because I'm already a customer, T-Mobile sold me one month of connectivity for £12.50, as an add-on "bundle". 6 Gig limit. It would have sold me a dongle for £40, but the dry dock, on the rural Stort, is said by T-M to be out of 3G range. Supposedly - but the signal strength there was so good and Stortford isn't that far away so I'm now wondering. Anyway, I've just done a week with my old 2.5G phone plugged into the computer. Worked a treat. Slow, for sure, but OK for (not large) emails and for some web stuff. If the dock had had a 3G T-Mobile signal, I would have bought a dongle. My TalkTalk landline contract (phone and internet) runs out soon, and I'm thinking of letting it lapse and going on to 3G mobile for everything. Trouble is, TalkTalk is so cheap to use (even calls to Australia are free), and has been such a pleasant outfit to deal with, that I'm reluctant to give it up. However, rumour has it that TalkTalk is going to do SIM cards soon ... Adrian . Adrian Stott 07956-299966
