3 Branded USB modem router now on sale!

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

We had this in from Mobile Industry Review reader Trevor.

Just noticed that a 3 branded usb modem router is now for sale on their website:

then click on Wireless routers, £69.99 without a contract – very tempted indeed.

Just look at how small they must be – the Ethernet port looks MASSIVE on the side of the tiny router.

The thought of a portable wireless hotspot anywhere, (especially at Dad’s house, where the 3 coverage is good upstairs, but non existent downstairs – Router upstairs, whole house now covered!) makes this a MUST BUY for me.

Happy days,

Trevor.

Thanks for the tip Trevor!

Vodacom Modem Question

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

This comment was left on our Orange 250mb data bundle post from a few days ago.

I purchased a Vodacom Modem while in South Africa. I was told it would work in the UK and USA. However, in the USA, I would need to find a Sims card that would convert over to data in order for the modem to work on the Internet. Does anyone know where I can purchase a sims card in the USA or that would work in the USA, that would convert over to data in order for me to use my Modem? If I am right, and if I could convert it over – perhaps I could access the Internet using my Vadacom Modem.

Any help dear MIR readers?

Three’s USB broadband modem

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I am still disbelieving, even after all this time, that I can actually sit and work on a USB broadband modem for 8 or 9 hours across a day, and for it to work continuously and without error.

It really is very smart.

I think I’m still expecting things to screw up. I remember when my GPRS internet connection was good for about 10 minutes or so, then you had to reconnect. Those were the days. Of pain.

Today I carry both a 3 and Vodafone one and they’re both equally excellent.

It’s just astonishing that they work. I need to get over my connection-anxiety.
