What is it your actually trying to achieve ?

If its "free" internet then those days have mostly gone now with the majority of mobile providers limiting you to around 1Gbyte per month (the consider this a "unlimited" as you would probably never download such quantities of data to a mobile though times are changing fast). Deals like the 1 year Iplayer SIM internet deal are now also pretty much dead with O2 monitoring the devices and disabling the sims if they aren't actually connected via an Iplayer.

Basically, mobile internet is ok as an emergency backup or for use during a trip but thats really about all you can use it for. Long term usage is not recommended if you want to maintain your sanity !

ok, I'm not familiar with the software your using but I guess they will all pretty much work the same way.

You will need to set the access parameters for your chosen provider in some kind of profile. That usually involves entering some kind of log-on user name and password as well as things like the I.P address of default gateways and DNS servers etc.

If you look at the software you have you may be able to access any present profiles and fathom the correct format to add your new one. To get the profile for your new provider do an internet search. There's usually loads of sites that list the profiles for various providers and packages (eg PAYG often has different details than monthly pay packages)

yeah i have just had a look at it and it says you need xp, but if you can get a pc/lappy that is xp 2 flash it then after you can use vista, as thats what i use and it works, so you only need xp 2 flash it....
