    Hi everyone :)

    After being almost one month without Internet connection (UPC couldn't find the problem fast enought :rolleyes:) I have decided to purchase a dongle for emergencies. I have checked the Meteor and vodafone offers and I have a doubt about the vodafone daily add on. In theory, if I start my conection today at 0:01 I can be connected until tomorrow at 23:59 (practically 2 days) , am I wrong?.

    I have also another question. I have a Meteor Sim card that we only use when family or friends visit us. That SIM has always credit since I don't want that Meteor cancel it (so I topup that sim card every X months). Can I use that SIM for Broadband? (if I finally purchase the Meteor dongle of course).

    Thanks in advance :)

    I don't think so, but you should check with Vodafone directly.

    I don't think Meteor will allow you to buy the broadband add on on a SIM that wasn't supplied with a modem. There's no technical reason for it not to work, Meteor simply won't sell it to you.

    My brother lent me his vodafone dongle a couple of weeks ago, so I could see what the mobile BB was like.
    Topped it up for me at 2pm the day he gave it to me and it didnt expire til midnight the following night.
    This would nearly make me want vodafone over the other ones that just last 24 hours.
