    Hi. I'm using a vodafone phone at the moment as a modem for my laptop.

    Just wondering but is this the same service as what those with the 3G usb modem would get.

    It is very slow. Facebook is blocked and so is IRC.

    Depends on your phone.

    What model is it?

    Sony Ericsson W880i.

    Thanks for the fast reply btw.

    Ok. I think I'm joined live.vodafone.ie

    Is there another vodafone network I can join using my phone as a modem ?

    I was using my N95 as a modem but found a hawellui (sp?) E270 picked up a far stronger signal.

    I'm after doing a bit of reading up.

    I see what I should be connecting to is the hs.vodafone.ie network.

    Just wondering, but does the 20 Euro per month deal for 5GB fall under this network or is it just to access the live.vodafone.ie network ?

    I wouldn't mind paying 20 Euro per month on prepay for such a service.
