Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

Ya I know but they said that the coverage is bad when I went to buy one and told them were I was going they just said it wouldn't be anygood because of coverage

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

dongles are available from several providers, the coverage provided by your mobile provider is irrelevant except to realise not to buy a dongle using their network if they say it hasn't been sorted out for the area you want.

The thing is that with a dongle you can use your laptop to access the internet, you can have all the same bookmarks, passwords, etc as the same laptop on your your 'home' connection, plus use a mouse & have a decent display.

The only problem, then, is to find a dongle from a provider with coverage in the area you are visiting :)

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

Masque had given me the name of a provider so tomorrow I'm going to go and see will they have coverage for the Area.

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

good stuff - let us know how you get on :)

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

I definitly will. I'm hoping that I will be able to get one that will have the coverage I need.

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

While the hotel has no WiFi have you checked if they have wired access? I've stayed in hotels before where they offered wired access in the rooms.

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

Ya checked with the hotel as well and they have nothing. I checked all the networks as well and there dongle wont give me coverage so looks like I will have to let my laptop at home :mad:

Oh defirish what will you do, we will have to send you for therapy when you get back. I will be standing by to pour you a stiff drink as soon as you get back sweetie, try to enjoy your time away even if you can't keep in contact. :D

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

Thanks Jo. I will be climbing the walls not having my laptop. Im very attached to it. You can pour me a stiff water as I dont drink but after having no laptop I might have to take it up to get over the shock of it :D

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

Just don't forget to take your laptop charger! :P

Check which mobile broadband provider gives the best speeds(hi speed) and then get a pay as you go dongle, i use 3 and for £10 topup it lasts 30days. ;)

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

OK I'll make sure I have lots of Ice cubes handy to stiffen up your water. :D

Shame the coverage over there isn't as good as in the UK. It may be worth taking your laptop and charger just in case. You could try it out and always leave it locked in the car boot if there really isn't any coverage.

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

Jo hold of with the stiff water with the Ice cubes. 3G have cover where I'm going. Yesssssssssssssssssss. Jo cancel the stiff water with the Ice cubes :D

Just found out that I will have coverage with 3G. Yessssssssssssssss my laptop is going on hols with me and I can cancel the therapy. All is good. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

Great news defirish. Now just don't forget to pack your charger. :D

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

You can be sure I wont.

Re: Going to hotel with no WiFi
 

Are we talking about Network 3 here?

If so then the 1GB pay as you go dongle is probably what you want then which costs £29.99 and a £10 topup lasts 30 days, although this is pre loaded with £10 which makes it even cheaper!

NOTE this offer is valid until tomorrow!
