| 1157559 | 2010-11-30 10:29:00 | Alright, so at 12 am I should be going offline but I'm just wondering, my phone has 3 months free of 100 mb internet on it, and I think I can use my phone as a modem via bluetooth on my laptop . Will it work? I know having a 2g modem or whatever will mean it's dial up but I only want to do email/google/pressf1, so it should be fine if it DOES work . Cheers . And if it's after 12 am I wouldn't bother . If it turns out this doesn't work I'll be offline for a week or more till orcon hooks us up at the new place . |

Telecom's 2G CDMA is also pretty slow. XT doesn't offer 2G at all. |

| 1157563 | 2010-11-30 21:35:00 | Well for some reason I still have the internet, but good to know if this does actually get cut off like it was supposed to. Cheers. |
