everybody
I don't know if this is the right forum - if not please tell me where to go.
We have recently returned from 4 weeks in germany, belgium and austria and on my return i have received a big bill from o2 for data usage on my iphone 4 while away .
I thought i'd got it all sorted before i went away - i'd got a payg dongle from o2 to use on my apple macbook only to find i couldn't use it to access the internet!! as only business users can do this when abroad - said the small print in the handbook that came with my dongle.... they didn't tell me this when i bought it. So, i went onto the internet every now and then via my iphone whenever i could get 3g or wifi ---and hence the big bill...
Is there a way of accessing the internet on my laptop without incurring the big bills thru resorting to using my iphone?? I think i read something on this site but i can't find it.
Also, while i'm here does anybody know what the best mobile provider is for reception for my iphone - i am fed up being on a site in lovely setting and find i am out of contact because of poor reception (i'm with o2). I need to be contactable because my mum is disabled and has alzheimers. I set up the support for her as far as i can before i go away but i still need to be contactable in an emergency.
Thanks for any advice.
