    Quick question

    Can i connect my laptop to the internet thru my nokia E51 using the live.vodafone.ie accesspoint rather than the isp.vodafone.ie point and get the 99c for 50mb instead of 2c per kb.

    I've been burned on mobile internet charges before so dont really want to experiment blindly, anyone tried this before?
    Thanks

    Think the live AP is port restricted or some such shenanigans

    No. You must use the ISP APN and you will be charged 19c per MB.

    (assuming prepay)

    Just pulled this off the vodafone website

    "Pay as you use" GPRS/3G n/a n/a 2c/KB up to 512 kbs and 0.001c/kb for any usage over 512kbs

    Are they really being that sneaky using Kilobytes and kilobits in the same line. and the kbs makes no sense.

    That whole line is referring to kilobytes. Just seems like poor typing if you ask me.

    Am I correct in saying that Meteor and O2 don't have this APN distinction and so you could use your laptop on these for 99c/day????

    You are correct yes (with prepay Meteor / O2).
