Vodafone Mobile Connect Card 3G/GPRS

...i made it from a Vodafone shop in Hounslow High Street, and the process was simple, they had to do the credit checks etc. and once that was through, the deal was finalized and invoiced.

There are other price plans and limits, but i chose to go in for this specific one. The Offers and price keep varying, ...

Review of Vodafone Mobile Connect Card 3G/GPRS

...it broke off! Vodafone were NOT very helpful on the matter at all and said as it was an aftermarket antenna that it was the antenna that had caused the problem. How when the antenna was only being connected and disconnected is beyond me. *Adult verification needs to be carried out to access certain websites like MySpace!! I think it should be censored if the user asks for it, not uncensored when the user asks. *Software can be very temperamental ...
...the following issues. 1. Starting on startup of machine and then crashing for no reason 2. No real integration into the Windows environment. 3. Occasionally will show NO connection details (such as connection speed, upload/download speeds). This wouldnt be a problem if the unit wasnt so temperamental in its switching between coverage methods (3G/GPRS) but you often need to monitor this because: 4. You can connect using a "3G only" connection ...

Review of Vodafone Mobile Connect Card 3G/GPRS

...and a laptop with the Vodafone 3G connect card I set out to prove if this really was more than just another way to get online with your laptop but a real solution to the pocket full of small portable devices. Installing ----------- The device comes neatly packaged in a DVD sized case and contains the connect card itself, a SIM card, instruction leaflet and a CD containing the connect software. To use this you need to have a laptop PC with a PCMCIA ...
...this is a call to Vodafone for technical support but in this case I checked the ports suggestion on the error message after reinstalling and rebooting and trying again for an hour. On the last reboot I entered the bios to check the laptop's port settings. I disabled every device that I wasn't using that required a port. Things like the infrared, serial and parallels ports. After the starting up it connected first time. I later found out that a port ...

Review of Vodafone Mobile Connect Card 3G/GPRS

I bought the 3g datacard off ebay for a fairly good price. I was intending to use it with the ubuntu linux operating system, after I read that other people have been successful in getting it to work on Ubuntu. The card has a small LED which lights up according to the status of the card. It lights up red when it can't find a signal, or it's trying to find a signal. The LED goes green if you are able to connect to a GPRS connection. GPRS usually gives ...
...if you find that you have the great little blue light, you're good to go onto the 3g network. 50KB/s. Much faster. I've found that this card has been quite reliable at keeping a signal. I'm using the driver that is built into ubuntu linux, which helped setting up the card easily and quickly. This is great value seeing that most 3g phones that you could use as a modem are so much more money. Well worth the money in my opinion ...
