    Is there data roaming without additional charges on all of these alternatives, ie the mobile broadband bundles, the pcmcia card and the usb modem? Can they all be used under the 3 Like Home plan when using the turbo-3g and 3g data connections?

    This has been answered many times before here, but YES. 3 Like Home is across the board and applies in all countries where there is a 3 presence (including Indonesia which 3 Ireland appear unaware of or else frequently mistake for Israel; better not put them in charge of Bush's air force).

    There is now a 'mobile broadband' area and FAQ on the 3 Ireland website which addresses all of this.

    Nota bene: for those in Windowsland, 3 is now offering a 'web accelerator' in the mobile broadband section of their website.

    With the exception of bundles on 3pay where bundle allowance can only be used in Italy, Austria and UK?

    Well, correct, but I thought when you mentioned bundles etc., at the same time as datacard/datamodem that you were only referring to bill pay. 3Pay for the time being remains restricted to only three other 3 territories.

    In my case the 3 datamodem was supplied unlocked and I was able to use local SIMs where 3 was unavailable abroad. Owners of high-speed unlocked phones would not even need to do this.
