Using Handset As Modem

[pacentro08]

When I was in Italy this summer, Vodafone Italia gave me 500mb internet use per day for one euro, on my Italian pay as you go SIM card. Admittedly it was a special summer offer, but why isn't it possible to use my handset as a modem in the UK at a reasonable price? I don't really want an extra bit of kit for occasional use. My local Vodafone shop says it is possible but hugely expensive. Can you clarify please?

Many thanks

Hi pacentro08,

A warm welcome to the eForum!

I’ve got some great news for you!

We now have some great packages for using your phone as a modem. For just £15.00 a month you can get 3GB and for just £25.00 a month you get 5GB!

Just click the link for more info!

For anyone else reading this too, don’t forget you can also get the TopUp and Go modems now too! This way, you’re not stuck paying a monthly charge if you don’t use it that often. Again, just click the link for more info!

All the best,

Jenny

Thanks Siddie. I had a look for JoikuSpot software but to get email access it's not free - if I've understood it correctly. I have an LG Renoir (KC910) which has wifi. Can you give me the idiot's guide to doing this plse?

Cheers

Different Country... All countries have different deals - ours just likes to rip us off.

Hi,

I have had a look at their site, and the KC910 doesn't appear to be on their list. I would recommend that you contact them and ask if it is supported.

Yes, for email access you can't use the free version (unless you use webmail - then you can)

I used the free version for a long while, and recently purchased the premium version. So far it has worked like a charm!
