Please advise...

I wouldn't be surprised by that. Orange claims to offer PAYG data plans for £4 for 4MB. Elsewhere on in their web site, they say that all you need to access 3G is a 3G phone, and that it is available with Pay Monthly and Pay as you go. Has anyone tried that?

I'm going to be in the UK for 5 days later this summer, and would like 3G access so I can put the Euro-only 3G band on my phone to good use, while at the same time avoiding my roaming charge of $15 per MB. If Orange works, it would be about 1/8 the price.

If not Orange, what about other plans? I'm looking for a SIM only, and I want 3G.

I did it January. I plugged it in an E61 and did just about everything with it.

But did you connect E61 to a laptop to work as a modem? Or did you just use E61 mobile browser?

Did you do Orange or T-Mobile? Were you getting 3G speeds, or GPRS/EDGE speeds?
