Your dongle may not work - don't assume anything just because you have a UK 3 dongle. They are sister companies but not the same company.

However you can get a dongle unlocked just like a mobile phone so either go along to a phone shop in the UK and get it done before you go, OR do it yourself with the software from here:-

RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

If you can't link direct from here, right click on the URL and click Properties and then copy and paste the address from the pop-up.

Once unlocked, you can use any sim in it and you will find that the branded welcome screen on your laptop will change to the generic Huawie graphics.

I am currently alternately using an O2 and a Vodaphone data sim in my unlocked 3 dongle.

BTW Robert25, let me know how you get on, and which SIM you end up using in Sardinia. I'l off to the south end of Sardegna this month and was planning on getting a WIND data SIM but may try something else if it's better for the area.
