GET THE CARD FOR FREE!


I dont know why everyone is raving about this product being SO expensive! If you did your homework and shopped around a bit, then you would find the Vodafone pack, available from all PCworld stores in the UK. Just ask for one!

This package includes several contract options, the best of which in my opinion is the cheapest one, and also the one i opted for!

For £25 a month, you get unlimited web access, with a fairly descent 250Mb a month download limit.

And the best part of this deal?

The card is absolutely FREE! yes you read that correctly, the card is 100% FREE!

The card obviously relies on the vodafone network to gain a connection, and i have friends that have the orange version and absolutely hate it, as the orange one seems to be riddled with problems and can never connect properly, and so have switched to the vodafone version which is noteably better!

My connection speed is fairly slow, but i never get a good coverage on any network at my house (due to the location!).

I use this card mainly for work use. Being in the Merchant Navy and operating out of Aberdeen, i obviously cant use the built in wireless hardware in my laptop to connect to my wireless network at home, as its 550 miles away!

Overall this product is brilliant for people constantly on the move or working away from home and require a moderately cheap internet connection per month, providing you dont go over the download limit!

And seeing as the card is FREE from PCworld, i cant see any reason not to get one!

Overview

Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS datacard

Editors rating
Rating: 8.3
Verdict

Data services, rather than video calls, could be the 'killer app' for 3G, and Vodafone is the first to market with its Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS datacard. It's not perfect, but it's a big step forward for mobile connectivity.

Typical price

£ 150
