Before you commit yourself to any of the mobile companies check their coverage-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I was looking at getting one of those mobile broadband things that plug in to the usb port, aparently I need extra drivers adn stuff to get it working under Linux, not sure, but I am not really that confident with stuff like that however the following in the 3 store caught my eye http://threestore.three.co.uk/broadband/?id=1397 so it seems i don't need to actually plug it in to my computer so don't need to worry about drivers, i get something called a sim card with it, which is something to do with mobile networks, don't know (it doesn't explain what this is) not sure what to get really it seems the offers are only on for a short period of time so by the time i have saved up the offer is closed, which is their loss really. I think rob b has confirmed the vodafone usb modem thing works out of the box or does it require some sort of drivers, doing google comes up with a variety of answers, none of which seem to point to a simple installation.
