Vodafone 3g Usb And Apple Iphone Touch

Hi,

Does anyone know of a cable that is available (or even if it is possible) to connect my Vodafone 3G dongle to an Applie iPhone Touch in order to give the device internet access?

Thanks..

Not possible, sorry.

You could use a computer with a 3g dongle, as a wireless bridge, which would allow you to then connect to same wireless network with the iphone.

Nothing direct though.

Hi Badger123 and welcome to the eForum

As you can see we have some very helpful members of the eForum who are always willing to help.

This is indeed not possible at the moment. Could I ask why you would need to do this? Do you not have internet connection on your Iphone?

Please let me know if you have any more questions and we'll be more than happy to help.

Also should you have you Iphone unlocked have you thought about coming across to Vodafone and using one of our great SIM only offers?

Hi Wayne,

Reason for this requirement is that I already have a Vodafone 3G USB stick (which is excellent BTW) which I use with my laptop, but it would be really convenient to have a smaller hand held device with proper browsing capabilities and other apps which I can use to connect to the Internet on the go. Most mobile phones just don't have the capabilities that the iPod Touch/ iPhone platform offers.

I don't want to sign up to a full iPhone contract because a.) O2 network coverage is poor IMHO b.) I'm happy with Vodafone and c.) I don't want another contract to pay for.

Therefore my idea was to purchase an iPod Touch which I could connect my existing Vodafone 3G stick to.

I'm really glad you're happy with your Mobile Broadband servce :) It's a great idea in principle (I'm assuming you have an iPod Touch rather than an iPhone) but unfortunately it isn't possible.
