What configuration did you use for the card? I mean APN and other configuration details (also for the phone alone, anyway, just in case). I could not find anything on the T-Mobile website (maybe I was not good enough at it).

I intend to use my phone as a modem (though I should not be supposed to...) when I am going next week.

Thank you in advance!

They closed that loophole, alas.

Hmmm, I was using TMO UK to surf the web last week, using a UMTS phone as a modem. The best part was, on a new SIM they give you 10 days' free surfing (wait about half an hour after activation), so it doesn't even cost GBP 1 a day.

I found elsewhere the right APN should be: general.t-mobile.uk

Correct?

Cheers!

I didnt watch Slingbox on T-Mobiles pre-paid service because I had a TV. I rarely used it to watch video content either as I didnt want to have big downloads on a laptop - the terms and conditions for the £1 per day are that it is not to be used in a laptop or for VOIP and I didnt want to attract attention. I got away with it in a laptop for a long time, and may want to use it again.

Somebody has also said that there is a cap, but I wasnt aware of one.

Having said that, I watch Slingbox and use Skype on Italian 3G sims, (WIND & TIM), and now on a Maltese GO MOBILE 3G sim, (this one is a contract at 23 LM per month for 5GB, and I had to pay a deposit of 250LM because I am not Maltese - OUCH!! I have been told that I can terminate any time after 1 month and my deposit will be refunded, or if I pay my bills on time for 9 months, I will also get it back), so it should work fine and, maybe, if you are only there for a short time, they might not catch up with you.

It definitely capped at £1 per day all the time I was using it.

Hope that helps

Richard

Thanks everybody for your help

I will certainly go down the T Mobile route. Presumably I will have to get a data card and T Mobile will help me set it up on my laptop. I do not have a data card yet. Any advice here?

I see somebody answered the question about Wind in Greece. Thanks. I know of a few people using it. Good luck.

Thanks everybody for their help. It is very much appreciated.

I didn't use a data card. I used a Sony-Ericsson K610i with a USB cable, although it works with Bluetooth too if you prefer.
