end of the road type places where i doubt its about much. Can you use a web aware mobile to feed data to a laptop? -- Mike........ remove clothing to email |

It's probably a good idea to search online phone-user forums for very specific advice. An alternative which has got me out of trouble more than once is to get an AOL account - they have dial-up in almost every country. |

Can you use a web aware mobile to feed data to a laptop? Depends on where you are in the world. In some places there's CDMA mobile broadband rather than GSM. It's pretty hard to get far from a McDonalds unless you're somewhere pretty remote, and they claim that all branches have WiFi now... I've always found that even if you do get to the end of the road there's usually a cyber cafe within a couple of miles of wherever you are unless you're somewhere remote in Asia. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

It's pretty hard to get far from a McDonalds unless you're somewhere pretty remote, and they claim that all branches have WiFi now... heehee we will see, this might be like The Horne trying to prove I could take my trips by PT :-) I've always found that even if you do get to the end of the road there's usually a cyber cafe within a couple of miles of wherever you are Lets try Unst? The McDonalds store locator showed nothing for Shetland at all, so call that three ferries to Aberdeen and 24 hours. I wouldnt be surprised if there wasnt a WiFi signal at the Wild Bean Cafe on Yell, its that sort of place, so thats just one ferry :-) Wasdale Head? Whitehaven, a 20 mile drive. But I can get a mobile signal by a three mile drive and hold phone up in air...or climb a hill with the laptop, LOL! Uist? I weas shocked, I put in Uist and it gave a choice of three areas, but LOL whichever one I picked it said no store LOL Skye? I'll let you guess :-) I think its mobile! -- Mike........ remove clothing to email |

Now the last time I was in the Western Ghats... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Our wifi works at least to the end of the drive - but we don't provide open access. Come to tea, and we'll even let you use the printer... |
