Tech heads! What dongle?

[Gate88]

I've got a vodafone dongle that I ocasionaly use when I cant get wifi or browse on my phone, which is only about 10 times a year

I'm paying £10 a month for it, my contract has just come up for renewal and I was wondering if theres a better option than shelling out £120pa for just a couple of hours browsing this forum.

Buy a pay as you go, I use an O2 one and only pay when I need to. Even when run out of time or your time has expired, they normally give you a month or so to use it. They let you browse for a few minutes, just time enough for you to purchase more time. The other thing is if with BT they have free access to their own hotspots, of which there are quite a few.

Or use the tether feature on your phone, most of the newer smart phones will let you use them as a wifi hotspot to.

As Joe said, the way to go really if you're only using it that amount. What phone do you have Guy?

An iPhone 4 on Vodafone.

Phone up Vodafone and ask them how to tether it - you may have to pay extra but I shouldn't have thought it would be 10 quid more.

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle!

I just had to turn on "Tethering" on my iphone plug it in and it works!

I'm on it now! Just gotta think of something to spend the £120 a year on!
