11775 Mobile Internet in Italy

Hi
If its just for email, have a chat with T-Mobile uk , about blackberrys...............good luck

Thank you, we really need access to the internet as my husband is writing up his MA. Would you think it would be better to buy in italy or ttake something with us?
Thanks again Annie

Who do you use in the UK for your mobile phone?

[quote=mrsanniebell;112042]Hi, I am staying in campania for 5 weeks in May/June and need to have internet access over this time. Please can anyone help me to find the best way of doing this. We will not have access to a landline but we have mobiles with T-mobile. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.:yes:[/quote]

Hi

Cheers

Are just seen it T-mobile.In which case I would contact them first.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]We have a '3' modem dongle which works the same in UK and Italy. You get dial up speed of course. We have just returned from Italy after two weeks, had the email on all day and surfed quite a bit and used about 40% of our monthly allocation. It costs £4.90 per month. You just need to check that where you are going in Italy has '3 Italia' coverage. [/FONT]

Thanks for this I will look into this it sounds really good and probably what we are looking for.

Coppicer,

We have considered mobile broadband as the monthly :smile:standing charges for Telecom Italia are quite a lot. I didn't know whether it would work in Lunigiana, is the 3 coverage quite good?

Coppicer, Can you tell me if you can also get the 3 network on your phone at your house? I ask because I have a UK 3 network phone and can use it easily iin lots of areas near our house (Monti, Bastia etc.) but not in Licciana or beyond which is where our house is.

I saw a chap flogging 3 network dongles at Pisa airport and asked him who I could write to at 3 Italia about extension of their network. He surprised me by saying that the two systems (i.e. phone network and wireless broadband network) were completely separate and, as the 3 website says our area is covered, we could use a 3 dongle.

I would be very surprised if their dongle worked in an area where there was no phone coverage, but what do I know? Any experience?
