Before anyone posts to say they can download data faster on their landline based internet connection, I know that. This is great for those occasions when you have your laptop (or netbook in my case) away from home and neeed to look something up or send an email.

Only 8 left now, so someone else obviously agrres this is good value!
Would anyone who voted cold please tell me where they can get it cheaper as I spent a considerable length of time finding this price? At least leave a reason; it's only good manners.  |

http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/28625...-for-everyone/ you don't quote the cost of the data transfer or initial allowance so difficult to assess. Thanks for posting, don't be put off posting by a few early cold votes - seeme to be the trend here for some reason before a good deal heat up. cheers |

Thank you to those who had the decency to leave a message. It IS very discouraging to a new poster to see their deal go up to 9 and then plunge below freezing without any reason given.
I am aware of the debate going on elsewhere on HUKD regarding contracts, but I don't want to tie myself into one of those. I am not sure how much data is included with this (if any) which is why I didn't include it.  |

 Cost of data transfer could be exceptionally high. |

With the greatest respect, how do you know this is a good deal then ? Cost of data transfer could be exceptionally high.
http://www.oyyy.co.uk/product.php/73616/ You will see from the description there that it comes pre-loaded with 12 Gb of data which is ideal for my limited needs. I will report back when mine arrives. Last edited by dink : 06-12-2008 at 18:15. Reason: Typo |

Because I am hoping it is a Starter Pack similar to this (whish is out of stock): You will see from the description there that it comes pre-loaded with 12 Gb of data

There are 3 versions of this item available on the high street, this 1 with no included data allowance ... Let us know if that's the case when it arrives please. If it is 12 gig to use in a year then I'll get one ! Handy to have. cheers |
