If you need an temporary internet connection on the run and don’t have a special data rate on your mobile contract then maybe the Vodafone Websession is what you need.

This is a special mobile accesss point for session based internet connections. You will be charged on you normal telephon bill our via websession voucher. All you need is some special settings for the connection

You can choose to get 30 minutes, 1 hour our 24 hour session. For the 30 minutes session you’ll pay 1,95 EUR which isn’t quite cheap. But if you don’t have any data rate booked on your contract you’ll surely pay about 20 EUR per 1 MByte!!!

Normaly Vodafone is selling the Websession package with special UMTS/3G hardware like an USB-Stick or 3G ExpressCard. But if you got a mobile phone with an UMTS/3G modem which is recognized by your computer you’re all done. All you need is set up some special connection settings
