I currently have a contract with T-Mobile and I've added the "web &
walk" package (£7.50 pcm).

This allows you (although I don't think it's official!) to use any
mobile as a modem (and therefore probably a 3G card) via bluetooth/usb
etc and gives 1Gb(!!!) allowance per month.

So far, I've had no issues with any of the following traffic:

SSH
http
https
smtp
pop3
imap
ftp

Alan, can you post this onto the Wiki? It looks like a brilliant write
up!

Cheers,

Matt.
