Good Points: There aren't any really. Yes it convenient if your roaming.
General comments: Wait until the technology and the coverage improves. Its so so slow. Basically i can only get gprs at 4.8k, so like a normal dial-up modem. It never connects to G3 network.

Well this sort of wireless technology should of been some kind of beta test for customers first.. but seems all these modems are in the retail stores selling with data packages but yet very poor signal cover in a lot of areas and very expensive packages to not worth the hassle half the time and with useless software might has well stick with the home internet and use the mobile phones for emails ! these days most phones can do emails anyway and msn and explore the net i'd give it 10/10 if the s ...

Software is bulky and not the most useful - I ran the card without it most of the time. 3G coverage in UK is simply not good enough - it ran on GPRS most of time - not what I paid lots of money for.

Got the Vodafone Mobile Connect card as a free item when I purchased my laptop, came with £20 worth of credit, so far so good. But when I tried to use it in Portugal, found that roaming was blocked. Complained to Vodafone, assured that roaming would be enabled (but I wasn't convinced). Once again in Portugal trying to use the Vodafone P network, not allowed. Complained again to Vodafone, who again assured me that problem would be resolved. Apparently the excuse was that I was on a tariff t ...

There is no doubt that at £35 + VAT for 1GB unlimited, it is definitely the best value, as O2 and orange both charge £45 + VAT per month for the same tariff.
Vodafone and Orange Cards were free, O2 charges £120 for the card.
The performance of the Vodafone card was very poor though, more black spots throughout the UK than my garden after the dog has finished with it, and very very slow at most times.
I cant fault the setup and the ordering and delivery process, but, as I own ...

I was unsure about these cards on reading earlier reviews but signed up for the service anyway.
Have found the card invaluable for Internet access - fast and stable connection. Using logmein.com allows control of the office server even whilst sailing! A must for any small business.

Overall, by standards in terms of most 3G cards the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card will beat most. Personally, I would not recommend this product in terms of mobile internet access until it improves in speed and availability.

When I ordered the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS card, Vodafone seemed very keen not to disclose their tariffs. They weren't mentioned in their terms and conditions or instruction booklet, and I had to phone them to ask. I was told it was £2 per Mb (about 50 emails). I was not convinced by this, so I decided only to use it a bit for the first month. I used the card for a total of 3hrs 46minutes and received a bill for £176, with a bill for a further £29 on the way. Aside ...

I have looked long and hard for a Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G data card, and I can say that Vodafone are out on their own. If you go to www.airtimemanager.co.uk you will get a free card and 250Mb for £20 a month plus VAT, and that is the best value. My card has worked with no hitches what-so-ever. I have no problem recommending this to anyone, and I have done so.

I bought my Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS 3G data card secondhand on Ebay.
I knew it was Sim unlocked, so as I've only got an Orange Sim at the moment that's data enabled for my phone, that's what I've used. I searched around the Web for the settings needed, which took all of 5 minutes, and hey presto, I was connected through GPRS at 56K. I'm waiting for a new 3G Sim to come through the post, and I will try it to see the difference in speed.

The Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card is a total waste of money. It is so slow, and the majority of the time there is no 3g connection, and I live in central London.

The Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS Data Card can become faulty, so be prepared to exhaust all options to convince customer care team that it isn't your incompetence.
Note for Outlook users - If using Outlook don't forget to change your SMTP settings, or your email will not work. Change SMTP to send.vodafone.net; you can do this by choosing Tools/Email Accounts (you will not need to change your pop3 settings).

I have not tried other 3G cards, but I was some what surprised at the speed that the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card works, and how quick it logs on.
I am not a techy but I was able to set it up myself.

With my supplier's tech help away, I had to call Vodafone's customer service for help with the Vodaphone Mobile Connect 2G/GPRS Data Card. It was woeful. I was on the 'phone for a chargeable hour, and I learned absolutely nothing. I was left with the opinion that they knew nothing about mobile connect cards.
Also, it's no good for wireless networks except Vodafone's own network.

When the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS Data Card works it is a dream come true, with good fast connectivity on the move. This is the future.
The main problem is that Vodafone Customer Service is something that leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. Firstly, to get through it takes at least 15 minutes, and once you reach an operator they do not understand the first thing about Data Cards.
In the two months I have had my data card, I have had to phone the customer service centre 3 tim ...
