| 1287039 | 2012-07-08 08:32:00 | Hi I am thinking of getting the Telecom 10MB per day mobile broadband for a $1. We have no internet at our crib which we go up once or twice a month for weekends. We might check emails and look at maybe 20-30 web pages a day including the news, Trademe, and Google. Do you think this would be enough? Thanks |

| 1287040 | 2012-07-08 08:43:00 | 10mb/day is fine for basic use. I use my phone for that sort of things and use about 200mb/month. Unsure why the baby not having internet in their crib is relevant though :x | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1287041 | 2012-07-08 08:44:00 | Nope, not even close I would have thought... but is this PC or Phone?If it's a PC no chance, phone? close, but most likely on the over side. Try the $6 50mb option or check out skinny, they use the same network as telecom (if reception is an issue) but operate off a weekly schedule rather than monthly. Most plans are $4 www.skinny.co.nz Their love bytes plan gives you 120mb for $4 www.skinny.co.nz |

| 1287042 | 2012-07-08 08:52:00 | Thanks, I'll look at those plans. It's for a laptop. A crib is a North Island batch. I'll call it a holiday home to avoid confusion. Cheers, |

| 1287043 | 2012-07-08 09:30:00 | Nah I'm with The Error Guy, not even close. Maybe on a Cellphone it might suffice for very light use, but as soon as you hook up a Windows PC .... kiss your prepaid credit goodbye. His suggestion was good, check out Skinny, or Telecom starts from $40 a month I believe for around 1GB? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1287044 | 2012-07-08 10:13:00 | I have a cell ph on that 'plan' and it is pretty awful. If I use data I go over the 10MB so it costs more than the dollar and if I don't use data, it still costs a dollar a day as the ph sniffs the air and the few kb that entails costs you a dollar. Basically, I turn the data off and use wifi where I can. Will think what to do about it when my 12 mth contract ends. |
