Hi everyone,
Please could I have some advice on a pay as you go phone that offers a data package suitable for occasional laptop use (e.g. price plans with a daily capped data charge). Orange and T-Mobile both offer packages (£2/day and £1/day respectively) but prohibit use of the phone as a modem. I hear that occasional web browsing on Orange might go unnoticed, but T Mobile sound quite strict - anyone have any actual experience of either?
I'm happy to respect their bandwidth policies, not use MSN, P2P, stream sound/video, etc... I just need a fullscreen web browser maybe twice a month (SSH/telnet would be nice but not essential). Their USB modems would do the job but are expensive for what I want, and I'm a linux user so I suspect hardware drivers would be a pain.
All opinions (or radically different ideas
) appreciated. Many thanks.
