I have just tried out my Virgin Mobile Sim Card in the T-Mobile Dongle and it works.
It
is a LOT cheaper as well - a mere 30 pence per day. The Virgin Media
SIM card also works in my Sagem 401X Mobile Phone, so I guess it will be
getting a bit more usage than it did before.

Problems with Internet from Cyprus
As you can see by this entry I managed to connect to my own computer in our Kitchen at home. I did this by connecting with my Mobile Phone hooked up to the netbook and used as a modem. Problem is we don't seem to be able to connect to any other sites - Gails attempts to check her Bingo Site complained that she has not yet proven that she is over 18.
The dongle is one step better than last trip overseas. At least this time I was able to register the dongle to a local network but that's where it stops. I could not connect the dongle to the internet. Internet from overseas is still not cheap when you use your own equipment. 3 Megabytes costs £5. unlike in the UK where you purchase your connection by the day or month.
