we brought a dongle over last year a virgin one it was a waste of time and so expensive ,you plug into your computer, and you have so much user time if you go over this it's extortionate we signed up for 2year contract just so we could use it in turkey because of my husband buisness as soon as the contracts up we wont renew .i think we pay 14pounds a month but never use it!i think the problem is the reception and to download e-mails takes forever ,we ended up just turning it off! hope that helps a bit
