Sounds like it needs a USB port. That rules it out for my Ipad.............. The Virgin one needs to be charged but does work on a rechargable battery.

Last question.....how much was that modem? It sounds like the best idea. Is it wifi? ie will it run more than one device at a time. As I am still using my Australian data and occassional phone call, I still incur some costs but I think I will totally change to Skype or I believe Viber is now quit...

Hi John. What sort of router do you use that will take a prepaid sim? I've yet to see how long the charge on the modem will last but the Virgin one was pretty good although it didn't take a sim............

Hi John,               thanks for the comments. What I like about Droam is that I can connect my Ipad and Iphone to one device. Also I have found them very good overnight. The freight is a glich in their website and it has ended up...

I've had a quote from droam of 95 Euro for about two weeks roaming in Europe which I thought was not bad, but 68 Euro to ship it to my address in UK I thought was a bit excessive from the Netherlands!
