| 596272 | 2007-09-29 08:58:00 | I was just wondering why you don't have to pay excess charges when you use your 3G phone as a modem to surf the Internet. I got a rather slow connection but people I know who live closer to a CBD have a much faster connection and download a lot too. How come that's free when cable broadband prices are so IMO astronomically expensive? |

With a 3G Broadband phone you’ll be downloading a lot more – especially if you’re using it as a modem for your laptop – so data costs can rack up fast." |

| 596277 | 2007-09-30 07:23:00 | For some reason, when I use it on my iPhone charges are nearly zero to me. I'm on the Vodafon network btw. | KIRBYTIME (12876) | ||
