I though the idea was you could take it out with you on the road and get connectivity seamlessly - and then when you get home it switches back to your home broadband, or is that another vodaphone box? My worry is that when you get home it will not connect and you will assume it has and spend a while surfing on 3g until the bill comes through...On Wed, 2 Mar 2011, tom wrote:On 02/03/11 12:57, Henry Bremridge wrote:On Wed, Mar 02, 2011 at 10:00:24AM +0000, Peter Lloyd-Jones wrote:HiI have got one of these Vodaphone boxes and it is not working. Support from Vodaphone is next to useless. I am quite sure there are some simple testsone could run to narrow the problem down (Like pinging stuff).Was thinking of getting one of those boxes: please advise how it goes. Otherwise, back to 02: deals aren't as good but reception is betterWow that looks like a really easy way of running up huge bills!How so?The Voda box is a cell base in it's own right - however rather than use Voda's own network for the backhaul, it uses your own broadband... And it's not a lot of usage - unless you sit using 3G data on your phone rather than via Wi-Fi! you regsiter your numbers and up to 4 phones can connect at any time.They're 50 quid though, so you need to be comitted to using vodafone to buy one, I reckon.The only on-going bill you'll get is electricity to run it and possibly broadband if you go over your data allowance, but not everyone ties themselves into a 1GB a month package nowadays...Gordon
