Best Sim For Data Roaming?

Stu · 07-12-2006, 05:19

Thanks for the offer of the Virgin SIM. I sent you a PM with a UK mailing address for me. The address corresponds to family so you can send it at any time (e.g. it is not a hotel which can't cope when a package arrives significantly before a guest).

My OVP subscription is data enabled, but purely on a PAYG basis. I know it will do GPRS. I presume Orange has upgraded that net to EDGE, but I don't think the SIM is 3g enabled. I cannot log into my account here. I'm not a UK resident and couldn't get roaming activated.

I have a 3g datacard and am staying at a hotel which doesn't have in room internet. (Too many family members are decending on London this year for guestroom privileges. My wife and I have enough reward points that we decided that we would rather have a hotel room to ourselves than sleep in the bath tub or equivalent).
