Portable Internet
Hi, I'm going to Portugal next week and am bringing my laptop. Just wondering if anyone knows if the mobile companies sell portable internet devices to attach to a laptop? Or would I have to go to WiFi cafe?
Thanks, Luis.

Re: Portable Internet
They do. There are about three or four different networks. I went to the Phonehouse store in Tavira's new shopping centre and bought one for E49 that the assistant said was the best value and the best network for that area.
It comes with a smallish data allowance but you can top up with a 10 day allowance for another E25. For that you get about 1gb so ok for simple browsing but not if you want to download much.
