Hi There,

I am looking at getting a Vodafone Mobile Broadband express card for my laptop.

Specs for the express card are:

HSDPA/UMTS (3G)
850/1900/2100 MHz
GPRS/GSM 850 MHz
GPRS/GSM 900 MHz
GPRS/GSM 1800 MHz
GPRS/GSM 1900 MHz

Would this go on Telecoms new network once its released if one of their new plans is better than one of the current vodafone ones.

Bit of a longshot but would it work?

{MOD EDIT : SP : Substituted the word "Express" for the acronym "PCMCIA" in the thread title to accurately relfect the actual card being talked about}

If the card is 3G 850MHz then it should work just fine - they are not locked to Vodafone...

Also note that card will only give you Vodafone 3G in the cities and main towns, you need 900Mhz UMTS for the new "rural" sites to get the 97% blah blah coverage of the nation
