    Right, the Vodafone unlimited data package - does anyone know if they'll let you just signup to the sim itself and put it in a phone or xda rather than using a data card? I'll proberly ring them up in the morning but if anyone has any experience?

    I know in theory you could just take the sim and do that ... but officially? I know O2 won't support it.

    That will work fine. I have tested it. Just bear in mind you won't be able to make any calls with it.

    It works ok, I also seen that vodafone UK have launched a mobile connect usb modem, so this should be good for those with desktops only if it comes over here

    I know it works - I want to know if it's officially supported? For example, the O2 one is strictly for data cards.

    It's not officially supported.

    The Unlimited data bundle is only available to mobile connect card users.

    Urban - If you're using your sim in a phone, would i be right in assuming that it's the same sim you received when signing up with your mobile connect card?

    Spank_inferno - The usb modem will be coming out over here in the coming months. The fliers are available from some stores already.

    That's what I wanted to know, have sent off an email to customer care but no reply. (I find customer care puts a little more care into their answers if they have to do it in writing :D )

    I wish O2/Vodafone would bring out a proper data unlimited, or reasonably priced bundles for use in mobiles / xdas / pdas / etc.

    To be fair though ciaranfo, the general helpdesk (who i imagine you're referring to) wouldn't know all and everything. They cater for the general public unlike the Data Support team, who pretty much know their stuff where data products are concerned!

    Some agents, in any deptment, are complete idiots. But yes, there is always those other agents who go above and beyond who balance it all out :)
