How is it charged - do you only pay £1 for any day on which you
access the internet? Does it dock £1 from your pre-pay balance on
the first access of a day? When does a 'day' start and end - is it
4am, as for phone calls on tariffs which charge more for the first
so many minutes each 'day'?

You have to manually buy the extra from their automated system on 453
(IIRC) before you use any data. If you do some data access before
buying
the extra, you don't get it retrospectively refunded.


Thanks. Actually it seems to be 450 - 453 is just to hear your balance.

I followed the menu system for buying 'extras', and got to the point where
it invited me to buy unlimited browsing for a day for £1 or for a week for
£5. If I had selected either of these, does anyone know how it *actually*
takes the money - does it simply dock it from the current balance (assuming
you have enough balance) or does it insist on *new* money, via a credit card
etc.?


The extra runs out at midnight at the end of the calendar day you
bought it.


Not a good idea to buy it at 11:30pm then!


Any reason why it shouldn't work with an SE K300i or Nokia 6070 -
both of which have infra-red and appear to have a 'modem' function -
but neither of which appeared (the last time I looked) in Orange's
on-line 'how-to connect your computer to the internet using your
mobile phone' information?

None at all. I've used this with my laptop using Bluetooth to a
Motorola
V500.

Excellent. Anyone know where I can find a blow-by-blow account of how to set
it all up, and get connected?
