Am thinking of getting one of these on pay as you go as we spend a lot of time on the Isle of Wight at PIL's holiday flat which is a bit out of civilisation and no phone line!

Have perused the offerings and o2, 3, T Mobile and Vodafone all do them. Does anyone use one or have any recommendations? Otherwise I'll end up with o2 as my mobile is with them.

It might be worth checking the coverage of each of them, if you want to use it somewhere a bit remote, as some are better than others in different areas.

I'm with O2 mobile broadband, and they're fine, but some areas are less relaible for signal than others, so check what it's like no the Isle of Wight.

Most do a 30 day satisfaction or money back guarantee, so if you sign up get it right before going th the Isle of Wight so you can try it out there for network coverage.

Don't go with 3. I did and even in central London the coverage us crap. It hardly works in our house and yet they won't be flexible on my two year contract. Avoid at all costs!

Goodo, right so I'm down to T mob, o2 and Voda. I wonder if there is some sort of comparison site...

Right, no o2 coverage although I get 3G coverage fine on my mobile , Vodafone is not Mac compatible and am still googling T mobile.

Bumholes.
