Then we found T-mobile the most consistent with O2(Orange?) a close second but more lately Virgin has been pretty strong too. We then went to a Carphone Warehouse to get equipped with a Virgin mobile and 3 dongle. They don't work everywhere but do most of the time. We also set up a Talk-mobile phone becuase we found that they have very cheap calls to Oz and US landlines - 1p / minute.<br /><br />BTW, we leave on March 29 for our next trip, so we may see you on the cut.<br /><br />Good luck with your travels, Rogerrogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674869577519302723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498846366962876974.post-34257052191114376452012-02-27T13:16:06.769+00:002012-02-27T13:16:06.769+00:00RE: "which also includes the 2g Orange networ...RE: "which also includes the 2g Orange network" I think T-Mobile customers have had the Orange 3g opened up to them - or it is in progress.<br /><br />I think the big issue to ask people about is 3g reception at water level as I often read about blogs not updated due to lack of signal.

I have configured the samsung so it can be tethered (act as a wireless router). We use it for phone, text and data. Currently we have the laptop, netbook, iPad and iTouch all connected to the internet via it.<br />I also bought our 4x4 bullbar aerial which connects to the phone.<br />Tom<br />nb WaiouruAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498846366962876974.post-90502291260811307012012-02-27T09:33:23.432+00:002012-02-27T09:33:23.432+00:00Thanks Lesley, which provider gives the best cover...Thanks Lesley, which provider gives the best coverage?Paul and Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258665852848373291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498846366962876974.post-5638128979910898492012-02-27T08:11:52.115+00:002012-02-27T08:11:52.115+00:00Hi Folks
