OnMyWay Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi,We have just completed on our place in the Vendee and we plan to go their for easter. There is no telephone line and I will need a wifi connection. I am thinking of getting a 3G wifi USB stick to use with my laptop.Has anyone used one of them and/or can anyone tell me where can I sign up for a contract for one in France.Many ThanksOnMyWay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 They are OK if you're desperate, but very slooooow in use. All the main mobile phone companies do them just check what works in your area.Better to check if you have a friendly neighbour with WiFi..

AnOther Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm sure someone will be along to advise you on the options but just for clarity 3g and WiFi are 2 entirely separate things.3g is communication via mobile phone whereas WiFi relies on hotspots such as McDonalds (or perhaps a neighbours unsecured router [Www])Your laptop will normally be WiFi enabled but you will need a dongle for 3g.

OnMyWay Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thank you Bugsy, I should have used my Blackberry last time to see if i can pick up any WIFI open networks.I take that all of these 3G dongle contracts will be 12month minimum and not pay as you go types.Will let you know once I got this sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu8 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi I am using a Bouygues Telecom cle 3g+ (a dongle to you) which is contract but is available payg.I found Bouygues to be the best package and you can sign up online.Take a look at this http://www.laboutique.bouyguestelecom.fr/forfaits-mobiles-offres-internet/forfaits-internet-mobile-3G.htmlI hope this will help.Am not sure if the link will be live you may have to copy.
