Best Network for PAYG Surfing (noob with m3100 hermes)

[roy8846]

Hi all , just got a spv m3100 and am gonna upgrade to WM6 and unlock the SIM/CID , now then.....

In the UK which is the cheapest/best data provider on PAYG , anyone offer free browsing on evenings/weekends? Do all use HSPDA?

How do i go about setting up 3g or even where to buy a 3g sim?

Also WIFI is free if i connect to my own wireless router isnt it?

Sorry for being so completely thick , and i have googled around for data tariffs btw but cant really work out half the hidden charges etc

i dunno about cheapest/best data provider, but for sure noone offers free evenings.
3g service is a capability built into your phone, and a "3g" sim card is just a normal sim card. there really is no such thing.

Wifi IS most definitely free if you connect to your own router.

Thanks for the responce , I know Orange do free evenings....

"Get up to 1000 free texts to anyone every month
and free evening mobile Internet browsing"

Apparently the most you can spend is 1 pound a day (on most providers) , is this for 3G as well as / or only for GPRS. And are there any hidden charges?
How have you guys found browsing on your PPC's/PDA's etc?

Also which provider should i choose , who provides the best service in your opinion?
cheers

as i understand it, 100p = 1 pound, right?
It shows that each area/region code has different going rate.
It seems like a reasonable deal, and orange i believe has 2g services (EDGE)
I think it says that the REGISTRATION fee is 1 pound, and the most you will end up spending for data is 2 pounds a day. This works like any prepaid card, you add money, you call people, money gets taken off the card.

It seems like a good deal, but orange has a history of sneaky language.
For example, their "Unlimited Data" actually mean "At 3 gb, we start watching you"

I think the 3 network is the best , 5 pound per month for 2 g data . it is very good at the moment , I use it for some months and the speed is ok so if you want to use the net on the go you should try to give it a go

buy a 3 simcard

install cap file on your spv m3100 which is all setting for internet

click start/setting/connection
click connection/manage existing connection
click Proxy setting/advanced
stick this network uses aproxy server to connect to the internet
click wap under server enter 192.168.71.35 under port 9201

click ok 5 times




topup 10 pound PAYG and then use your spv 3100 go to http://mobile.three.co.uk/pc/Live/pcreator/live/mwsun

from there you to buy internet add-on 5 pound p/m


you should only go to internet after bouth add-on because if you didnt they will charge very expensitive
