Is there any way I can use the allowance i get on my laptops dongle on my samsung galaxy s phone if so how?

You should be able to use your dongle SIM in your Galaxy for data but no voice.   You would need to change the APNs to match those of the dongle.

Charges would be at laptop rates, since you would have to use the dongle APNs.

Hi guys

AnnS is correct, you can use your Data SIM in a mobile phone, although as mentioned there will be no voice services.

9.Enter Vodafone Internet, touch OK
10.Touch APN
11. Enter:

For Pay as you go customers:

The APN used is dependent on the type of Mobile Broadband Account that you currently use.

Select the appropriate APN from the list when adding the new connection settings.

Let me know how you get on or if you have any further questions.
