internet dongles for overseas

fish · 25-03-2010, 03:02:53 PM

Am off to Egypt sortly and wonder if there's a broadband/internet dongle that will work over there (payg or fixed costs or similar)

Does anyone know of or used something like this b4?

thanks,

Fish

Don't waste your time buying her, you'd be better buying something local.

UK Roaming Costs are too expensive.

Some of the Internation sim cards do �1 per Mb but its not much.

cheers for the heads-up

Am flying into the Taba region where there's no shops or towns ( good in a way I suppose)

Will just have to do some website work offline on my laptop which is much needed (& without the distraction of the internet I should get shedloads done)

At worst you could always head towards the coast and use the free wifi hotels have

am staying a Nueba Hilton, which is right on the coast

last time I was there (2 yrs ago) they only had the pay by the 10 minutes system on a couple of pcs in reception, maybe they have got with the times and have wireless (can't see it listed on the website)...

Just under the amenities title on that Hilton page (where it has the icons), there is a wireless symbol so you should be ok
