    Default Internet Using Laptop & O2 N73

    Ok please forgive me as im pretty clueless regarding this.

    I just moved into a new shop and wouldn't mind having the Internet on my laptop in there. There's no phone line installed so I was wondering If I could use my mobile as a modem instead?

    I've got an N73, on O2 paying £25 a month for voice and texts. I realise if I connect to the net on the phone i get charged by the megabyte. So is there a tarriff or something from O2 I can get so I can pay a cheap flat rate and use the mobile as a modem for the laptop?

    As you can see im pretty clueless so sorry in advance

    no open wireless networks in the area ?

    (connecting to an open network may be illegal unless you have permission to do so)

    lol already tried mate, no luck

    Thanks for the info Mobileman, gonna cost a bit too much at the mo I think as im payin for broadband at home too with Virgin.

    Someone told me the other day (whos actually on the T-mobile web & walk) that you can get it on a Pre Pay Sim card.. is that possible? I dont really wanna sign up to a new contract or anytin as ive still got over a year left on my O2 contract.

    thanks for the help again
