Voda's current PAYG offering expires monthly, their previous offering bought you 1GB which stayed active for 6 months - supposedly some of the old ones were still kicking around e.g in Maplin. T-Mobile have a version where you add credit, which is used at �2 per day that you make use of it, again with 6 month idle period killing the device with any remaining credit. I have one each of these, at the time I looked all others expired too quickly to be useful for standby use only.

There's currently one going on ebay, item 170505311978. Both use the K3565 dongle so you need to check that it's the 1GB one first. If I can find the box for the one I bought, I will post the voda part no. -- fred FIVE TV's superbright logo - not the DOG's, it's bollocks
