I am in the UK and I want to get mobile internet on my PDA – how do I go about it?
I am in the uk and I have an HP Pda (ipaq) . I use it as a phone at the moment but I want to be able to access the internet on it too. What network do you suggest which has a good plan, what sort of prices would I be looking at especially considering that I already have my own phone.

Hi, in my opinion the best network is o2, they offer unlimited web browsing for just £10 per month and the settings is pretty easy once you have the sim card on your PDA- this are the settings for my xda orbit but i think they should be the same. There are 2 settings one for postpay and the other for prepay.

Go to Vodafone. They’ll give you a great deal on minutes and texts and also give you unlimited internet and e-mail access for £7.50 per month. At the moment, they’re offering 600 minutes and unlimited texts (SIM only) for £20 so it’d be £27.50 with the internet. Plus, you wouldn’t have arse about manually installing the settings because Vodafone can send you their own settings for the net over the air (as I’m sure other networks probably could).
