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

if you changed the number to 0044 and removed the first 0 Yes it would work but youd be charged for an international call. (could work out expensive)
you'd be better finding a dialup isp in the country you are visiting, youd probably have to ask the customers permisson to use their phoneline but it would be way cheaper than using your mobile.
