Thanks Flea, how much is the contract? If you don't mind me asking.

Mine is £30 per month

Coverage is excellent. It never failed to work no matter where i was.
They do have these things in Sydney, but my friend who has one says the coverage here is very patchy. In fact she cant get it at home so it was a waste of her money!!

I cant remember actually. All i know is i had only had my job a couple of weeks and told them where i worked. It was all done over the phone in the shop and i walked out with the laptop and dongle within 20mins!!

Flea, that sounds like a great thing. A dongle, hee, hee

Fleaflyfloflum

No! Its 10.30am LOL
I do love my dangling my dongle about


I forgot to add in previous post that the £30 per month is with the laptop. You can just have a dongle contract if you already have a laptop which from memory was £10 per month

Forgot you were in Australia, not England (hence the change in post)

10:30 a.m. Tuesday, right

I'm considering buying a 24 month contract. I want a laptop for internet access when I'm in the UK...I don't have a landline in my house at the moment...so one of these would be perfect.

Thanks Flea. Sounds great, will look into it.

Fleaflyfloflum

Hehe.. yes its Tuesday... all day!!

Fleaflyfloflum

Good idea. As i said, mine worked perfectly, never let me down.

If you are the sort of person who mainly just surfes the web and have a mobile phone, i cant see the need for a landline now.

Utility Warehouse and car phone warehouse are different departments of the same company ....................So you can get them all including mob from the one company and only get one bill every mth. I have them all apart from mob ( i prefer PAYG) and i didn't get the laptop thrown in. So far i have had one bill for £91 and one for £103 And thats for all Utilities......bar water.

Oh just to add.....Landline to landline calls are free for the first 75mins. So haha you can yap for 75 and then hang up and then ring back for another 75mins all free.

Yes, when we finally have our place we are considering doing a similar deal Sans. Sounds good

Mmm I know its been summer and its going to go up in winter. But at around £100 a mth for gas, lecky, internet and phone i think that is good going.

Before we left the UK, which is only April 07.......we was easily paying £90-£100 a mth on just gas and lecky on a mthly debit, to NPower and B Gas

So....so far its from me

I couldn't get a signal when I tried a dongle from 3. Now I'm using Orange. I live just south of Oxford, so was a bit surprised . . .

I believe I'm paying $15 per month for my dongle (maybe had a lower price for the first couple of months). I already had a laptop, but I did consider it.

I currently just have a cell phone and on pay as you go, but that can get awfully expensive! I spent 7 pounds talking to my mother the other day! I'll either get a land line or a contract mobile plan with free land line calls. Still, for the time being it's a good excuse for NOT calling!
