Try this for 39.99 euros including 20 euros credit a USB modem that plugs into your laptop that can be used anywhere.;)

You can choose any colour that you like as well.

I had no access to wi-fi on my holiday I used my Orange PAYG phone on Dolphin plan which gave me 100MB per monthe for £10, and connected my phone to my laptops.

Has you phone got this option.

Some phones have this capability but it depends on Meteors coverage at the hotel you are staying in.

I would have good coverage with the phone I have but not with the dongle they told me :(

My network provider. The place that we are going to we have been there before and I had good coverage with the Network I use for my mobile. I asked them the other day about a dongle and they said that they have not covered that area yet so the coverage is not sorted out yet :(

But it's the same technology. Your dongle is just like a mini mobile phone that happens to just do data (although could quite easily do texts and phonecalls with the right software on your computer!).
