Web'n'Walk is mobile internet on the phone. I spoke with T-mobile and asked them how much it would cost me to use the mobile phone as a modem for my laptop. "4 quid", they said. Done deal.
Here's how it works out:
I have a standard £25 deal with T-mobile (for which I get an allowance of £60 to spend however I wish on calls and texts - none of this "45 minutes of calls and 18,000 texts per month" that some other networks foist on you). The Web'n'Walk element is an extra £7.50 per month, and the "unlimited" use of the phone as a modem, as I said, costs me £4.00. So, that's £36.50 per month for more calls and texts than I need, and fast-ish internet access (at about 130KB/sec). As far as network reception goes - I use the mobile as a modem inside the boat with no external aerial and have no problems. Maybe I'm lucky because of the area I'm in, but I have to say that Vodafone (for one) was completely useless. I have no experience of "3" (and you think T-mobile and Web'n'Walk are cheesy? )
