Hi Ian,
The closest I can get URL wise is
http://three.co.uk/personal/products...s_/add-ons.omp
That brings up the whole page of add-ons. You'll need to click on
'Broadband Lite' to see that text.
I decided to test that water by buying a PAYG SIM from 3 (and put on a
one month internet add-on). No major problems so far - I can access
the web, sync over the air with Exchange, download files etc, so all
OK.
My one attempt to use as a modem (so far) hasn't worked, but I think
that could be as much to do with me not setting the phone up correctly
(it's a new phone, too) as anything else - plus modem use isn't really
supported on PAYG so it could be that.
As you say, it basically seems pretty simple. No access to the 3
'Portal' but then I didn't want that anyway.
Thanks for your help by the way.
