Re: Dial up number

Gents

OK, I'm a bit thick so maybe my question has already been answered - but here goes anyway. In my home office I have modern 3gig laptop connected by wireless to the router/ cable (and there are 2 other machines hard wired to the same router). This enables me to take the laptop around the house and still be connected.

However, maybe half a dozen times each year I have the lappy somewhere else in UK or sometimes overseas (Brazil, USA, Spain etc) and need to connect to the net - maybe to access my mail via the webmail or sometimes just to show the customer some info out on the net eg using Google. THAT need will arise in a week or so.

Looks to me like you are saying go for PAYG access? Is that right? Can that "work" from somewhere like Brazil or the USA.

In the past I have used a connected mobile phone - but that was in the days when the company paid the mobile phone bill. Now I am the company, all one of me, and the budget is tight. Anyway I guess I would need a plug in modem card / cable for the mobile and that is a bit ancient now (4 years) so the chances of finding a cable are slim

Advice appreciated
