| 1376626 | 2014-06-06 06:01:00 | Anyone know if the Vodafone, Telecom or 2Degrees sticks work on the Win8 Surface tablets? (w/USB port of course ;) ). Can't seem to find any info on their info pages. | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1376627 | 2014-06-06 06:50:00 | If it works on Windows 8, it'll work on a Surface Pro. Not sure about Windows RT though. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1376628 | 2014-06-06 07:18:00 | Cheers. Will check and see what model they have, I think it may be the RT though. | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1376629 | 2014-06-07 01:54:00 | You could use a smartphone as a wi-fi hotspot with any of them if you have one available, easier than a usb stick in many cases. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1376630 | 2014-06-10 06:29:00 | It's RT so no go there. She doesn't have a smartphone, but I saw one of these in action today with someone's iPad telecom.co.nz Looks like an ideal solution in this case. |

No, even Windows RT can connect to wireless networks ;) most smartphones can already do what the device you linked to does. :) |

| 1376632 | 2014-06-10 08:59:00 | Oops, to clarify - no go with T-stick software installing on the RT. | Renegade (16270) | ||

| 1376634 | 2014-06-10 19:31:00 | Renegade I'm using one of those Telecom Huawei E5220 WiFi hotspots. It all works perfectly here with 2x notebooks and 2x tablets in our motorhome. Shop around though. I paid $59 with 2GB data at NL about six months ago. I'm still churning through my 6 $29 t-stick transferred 2GB loaded SIM cards. |
