    I would ring up vodas CC to be sure it is activated on your account. I once heard of someone who rang up a grand in data charges while roaming to a "free" country.

    he didn't mention vodafone so i think his is the modem from the 3 network which can be used at no extra cost. The vodafone one can't

    Have a look at the thread title ;)

    It is a voda modem, so the answer is no?

    But the the 3 3G ones can be used over there? Thats interesting, hopefully the others will follow suit.

    Yeah, the smallest mobile companies tend to move much, much faster than the large ones...

    I got the data rates for the UK off Voda and you would want to be off your rocker to use their device in the UK!!

    So I saw after pressing Enter. Incidentally you were right about ringing 333 from the datamodem SIM -it does work. Trouble is, I can't determine if it's chargeable or not (can't remember what thread we originally brought this up in).
