Well, Yoigo copies them in Spain too

Anyway I'll be in UK next month, I think to use the Tmo option... or Naviga3 by 3ITALY

I used the T Mobile PAYG aim in a datacard in my PC from September 2006 to June 2007 and, whilst it's only supposed to be used in a mobile phone, I heard nothing from them, and it worked fine.

384Kbps is almost as fast as the original 512Kbps broadband, and is fast enough for me to watch UK TV via Slingbox in Italy, and to make Skype calls.....

Also had an Orange sim so I could use Orange World for £1 per day at GPRS speeds if necessary.

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!

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.

Slightly OT but related to the last post. Any problems with using a Yoigo card in a PC datacard (in Spain) just like Richard10002 did with T-Mo in UK?

Yoigo was fine in a datacard for me in June/July
