So if I have the 'old' dongle and buy a �15 top up, will I still get a
non expiring 1gb of data?

I am happy to pay �15 per gb but as I travel infrequently the non expiry
was a big attraction. Self employed and want to access e mails from my
laptop for 3 or 4 days every couple of months - the Voda deal was
perfect.

Agreed - except that you're very unlikely to get landline performance!

It's also worth considering 3's offering. You can buy a '3' dongle for about
�20. The trick is to throw away the SIM which comes with it and replace it
with a free '3' PAYG SIM. You can then buy internet access add-ons in
quantities to suit your intended usage. A �5 top-up can be converted to:
* A month's access (compared with �10 per month if using the original SIM),
or
* Two separate one week periods at �2.50 per week, or
* Ten individual days at 50p per day - spread over as long a period as you
like (and with each 'day' lasting until midnight on the following day, so
you can get nearly 2 days for your 50p if you do it early in the morning)

Or, of course, you can buy a Skypephone S2 and use *that* as your 'dongle'
at the above rates - as well as being able to make use of a heap of free
texts, free '3' to '3' calls, etc. on the phone every time you top up.
