Meteor Broadband & E71

    Hi

    I currently have Meteors BB on PAYG, so I pay the €20 for 30 days surfing. I just top up and send an sms requesting 30 days BB.

    I've just bought an E71 and I'm wondering if I can use that as the modem, and then buy the BB on that?

    I currently have 2 meteor SIMS, one in my phone and one in the dongle, I'd like to combine these into one sim and tether the phone to the laptop instead of the dongle.

    Is this possible with Meteor? I asked in a meteor shop but they didn't know.

    Regards

    B2

    Based on previous discussions on Boards and other sources, Meteor don't currently offer their mobile broadband service with a talk package on either prepaid or postpaid.

    you can't call people with those sim cards at all?

    I said Meteor don't offer their mobile broadband service with a talk package, I didn't say you can't call people from a mobile broadband sim. ;)

    With that said, if calls are placed from a mobile broadband sim without a talk package, in theory, you could be charged at a completely different, and more expensive, rate than is offered by Meteor on any of their talk packages. While this is all in theory, I wouldn't be surprised if the default call charges were expensive; if calls were possible.
