T mobile internet access ???

Has anyone any experience of using the t-mobile datacard to access the
internet?

I shall be in an area without access to a phone line and wish to access the
internet from my laptop, not my mobile.

I am not very au fait with the requirements etc so if anyone can point me in
the correct direction it will be much appreciated.

That sounds OK

Erm.. Laptop with XP and PC-card slot should do it. It works very simply

Unfortunately the free card & £20 a month deal with £73 Quidco cashback
on top seems to have disappeared :-(

You need bluetooth on both phone and laptop, then connect the phone as
a modem to the laptop - this can be quite a process, and a lot of
work.

If you manage to get it to work, you access the internet thru the
modem in the phone.

It appears this is the answer to another post somewhere about
something else. It is clearly not an answer to the OP, if you read it.
