    Default Looking for mobile internet solutions

    I need to access an IP Camera during the day at work. I am constantly on the move and have a PDA / Phone running Windows Mobile 6 but it does not have wireless.

    What options are open to me and at what cost ?

    TIA

    one of those wireless dongles, reports of about $30permonth but most are 12/24 month contract based & from what i've seen if you don't use your monthly allocation it doesn't rollover.

    Laptop is not an option , forgot to mention that. It would have to be a phone or pda option. All I can think of is GPRS as I cant think of anyway that I can use a usb wireless internet dongle on my PDA ?

    three have $39 blackberry plan
    check it out3gb of data with a "49 cap" worth of calls.
    Free blackberry as well worth $280 (what i sold mien for)
    ditch the bb and put the $$ towards your contract.

    PS i dont think Video over IP will work on GPRS....
    You would need a HSDPA compatible handset

    oh, and there may be some codes still around that's valid for $100 credit on your 3 account and if you like a referal to 3 you get an extra $25 plus if you go through buckscoop you get an extra $64 back


    sure adds up

    The ad for the camera states ( and shows ) that you can view and control the camera via GPRS on a smart phone.

    Does anyone know any plans that are generous with GPRS ( in allowance and cost ) ?
