How to get started

Spipov

Hi everyone

im wondering if someone could direct me how to get this working at the best possible rate.

I have a dell hspda 5530 mobile card and have had a 3pay sim with me adding the 15 euro mobile addon all the time getting 1gb.


i have the 3pay mobile broadband in my laptop and frankly, its absolute smelly poo. it drops for no reason at any time after 20 secs usage, 2 mins usage, or just doesnt work. i have signal, 4 bars at most time, and sometimes its connected, 4 bars, but no internet access.

i really need a stable mobile broadband prepay connection as i am currently trying to do timed online mcq exams and i cant afford or just plain cant get disconnected!

if anything, which would be most stable?vodafone, o2, 3 or meteor in terms of keeping the connection alive. i would have no problems with 3g signal as im quite close to the red cow and all different sims have 3g connection. thanks for helping

if i went out and bought a pay as you go vodafone, o2 or meteor sim, how would i set about getting connected to the internet, bearing in mind i wont be using the usb stick, but my laptop directly.

for example with 3, ud stick the card in, and add you apn to network/properties/profile and also go to three.ie and topup/buy addon.

would it be the same for the others?or do those sims need specific kind of setup?


has to be pay as you go as im only going to be using it till october. thanks!

You can be lucky, but what you want can't be guaranteed from Mobile. Not technically possible.
