(without the quotation marks) Anyway using a phone like a Skype S2 does make the whole thing easier than using a dongle and you can use the S2 PC suite to send your inclusive SMS from your PC also if you are willing to limit d/l speed to 1mbps you can stick the S2 up high and connect by Bluetooth The S2 is so cheap and versatile you'd be daft to use a dongle on 3 Steve Terry -- Get a free Three 3pay Sim with �2 bonus after �10 top up http://freeagent.three.co.uk/stand/view/id/5276

I will add my experience from recent (over New Year) access to my3. *IF* I accessed MY3 from a laptop connected by bluetooth to the three.co.uk APN then I was presented with the 10 minimum DONGLE type topup as the *ONLY* option. It also failed to tell me about remaining credit from my 90 days (but typing 444 on the phone confirmed that this was still in place and was being used!) Once I was back accessing my3 from a different ISP I could see all the options again (�5/topupp, 90 days credit remaining etc.)

I've been accessing it via my normal (PlusNet) internet connection, and have been getting all the options. *Except* - even then - it won't offer me anything other than the �10 monthly option for the dongle's original Mobile BB SIM, even though I've told it that it's in a Skypephone S2! -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

I can at least use a 3Pay SIM in the dongle to get cheaper internet access. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..
