[stuart]

went back to vodaphone the other day and still no sign of their dongles, but the guy i spoke to did know the rates involvede as i mentioned before.
anyay have given up with them and now looking at turkcell they seem to have some promising stuff. and available now. maybe some of our more tecknowledgly minded friends here could check out the web sight and comment, its in english if you click on the english bit at the bottom of the web page.

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

Apparently Tesim ar doing them, and there are 5 different packages, but again, sory no prices.I think fluent turkish might be a big help to make the enquiry.

Seem to recall Dotty had one, but as it was a virgin one it was never used.

Any updates on prices for use in Calis when we are over later on in the year?

Thanks

If you are on a monthly contract with Vodaphone for a dongle in the UK you can pay £9.99 for 24 hours of download/network use in Turkey (max 50 mb of data) £8 per mg thereafter.  Coverage is not brilliant, it uses a different protocol to mobile phone calls (Voice - GPS Data - GPRS) (won't go into the tech detail on here too long winded!).

My advice would be DON'T use a UK dongle in Turkey, very easy to use up the data allowance and run into excess usage charges and at £8 per meg it soon adds up.

My advice to your daughter if she is only going to be there short term would be, either try and connect to a nearby wirless network that has not been secured or use any of the bars/cafe's etc. that have free wireless access. Good value for the price of a cuppa or glass of vino.
