Surfing the Internet

Hi All,

Can anyone shed a little light on my problem as the more I read the more
confused I am getting.

I want to bin my BT Landline and use my mobile to access the internet,
mainly evenings and weekends.
I can use the DUN facility via Bluetooth with no problems.

My current ISP's (Demon and Tiscali) use 0845 No's to connect.

I was all set to go for an o2 online tariff (500 mins WAP, 500 mins Xnet and
500 texts/month).

This would be great for all my needs until I read that the o2 inclusive
minutes do no include the use of 0845 No's.

Is there any other way of accessing the internet from my PC/Laptop through
my mobile???

Regards

Andy

Surfing the net at 9.6kbps is going to be painfully slow.

Correct.

GPRS is a possibility, but you'd have to find a network which has a good
inclusive (pref. unlimited) GPRS, otherwise you'll have a huge bill.
