Can you explain how mobile broadband works?
Question by Evangelista da Messina: Can you explain how mobile broadband works?
I have just bought mobile broadband for my son but I have been told he won’t be able to access the internet in someone’s house unless they have an internet connection. I thought the whole point of mobile broadband was that you could access the internet anywhere.

You can access it anywhere. I have orange mobile broadband and take my laptop everywhere. It works exactly like a mobile phone. It has a little sim card in the dongle and basically works on a “plug & play” principle.
Take no notice of whoever told you that. It’s Mobile. x

take no notice of other people telling you stuff… mobile broadband is simply that… its mobile…. i run an orange dongle and i can use it anywhere i want…. thats the whole idea of it…
it cuts you loose from all the restrictions of home net…. mine actually works while i’m on the road….
True, be careful with mobil broadband. You really need to have a prepaid service, when the pre paid money runs out the broadband turns off. If you have a mobil plan, after your son uses the plan’s allocation, it adds up a bill, a very expensive bill. Its not hard for a teenager to run up a $ 20,000 bill in one month of downloading.
So dont get a plan, use a prepaid service only, and it should work anywhere you can use mobile phones.
