Cracked it. Posting from my tablet via a 3g giffgaff mobile wifi connection.
That's me with an anywhere anytime internet connection :-)

Hooray! :)
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Basically when I'm sat bored in the taxi tomorrow. Yup, Big back to work  :(
I've got internet access via a mobile sim card in a thingy I've bought.
The screen on the tablet is a lot bigger than my phones.
So It's a lot easier to see ;-)

The top item in the shot below is the wifi 'Router' I've bought.
The bottom one is a mobile internet 'Dongle'. It has a mobile phone sim card in it.
I can connect to the Router via the wifi on my tablet.



Once the Router has the Dongle plugged in, it let's me onto the internet.



The router has a re-chargeable battery in it. This makes the whole lot portable  :)

@OC, Not particularly posted for you. But if us geeks don't share info  8)

@All, BTW, the Dongle says Vodafone, but I unlocked it and put another sim card in.
That's another story. Ask if you need more info.

Might need to put my glasses on Thursday night  8)
Getting the soldering iron out.
We have family round on a Wednesday evening.

The USB connector on my tablet has decided to go t*t* up.
Tried to contact the seller on Ebay, he's gone AWOL  :))

Live and learn, get what you pay for and all that  :D
Am a bovered  ;)
