I have very occasional use for mobile internet access, such as when travelling on a train without wi-fi, and searched for the best option last summer for my requirements. I found the vodafone Top up & go was perfect, with indefinite validity on the £15.00 top up.

I now find, as your post from P.B., that Vodafone have changed their conditions and any new top up is only valid for 30 days, despite assurances when purchasing from Vodafone, that his would not happen.

What a rip-off. I have used £3.26 of my initial £15.00 top up in 6 months, and now, once I have used the remainder, it will cost me £15.00 a month for the benefit of having access if I need it.

Vodafone’s only comment was that they had sent me a text telling me the conditions were about to change. Needless to say, the text never arrived.

It will be interesting, and probably frustrating, to see how they intend to stitch up their existing customers next.

Vodafone have changed the conditions and their top ups now expire after 30 days as well

It’s not quite true to say ‘…the data purchased doesn’t expire after a certain time.’ If you make no use of the network in a period of about 6 months (I think the figure is 180 days) you lose evrything – your £15 and the use of Topup and Go.

I purchased the K3565 USB Stick from Vodafone for thirty nine sterling and I got the box home and the sim card was not registered, I returned the item for one with a working sim and then installed the USB Stick on a Acer Aspire One Netbook. I could not get the VMC LIte software to get me connected via the system software from the USB Stick, but happily it also installs a PPP DialUP in the network connections section of the Windows XP Professional, Just click on Network Connections in Control Panel and you should see a Vodafone Dialup for the Huawei E160X and double click the iconc or right click over the icon and click connect. Then if you still have problems getting the device to connect to a Vodafone 3G Network then try changing the Network tab in the Dial UP Settings on the PPP Dial UP in the Network Connection from Control Panel. Anyway the connection is fast and is reliable and I am very fond of this Item and for a low casual usage or for emergency backup connection when you need to send email then this has 80% UK Coverage and the device has a GPRS and 3G Modem connection facility in the VMC LIte software via Manage Devices.

BUT BEWARE THAT GETTING OVER THE INITIAL LEARNING CURVE TO GET THE DEVICE WORKING MAY FRUSTRATE SOME. BUT FIDDLE WITH THE PPP DIALUP IN THE NETWORK CONNECTION AND YOU WILL BE FINE ONCE YOU HAVE DONE SOME READING ON THE NET ABOUT WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL AND NETWORK PPP DIAL UP.
