Mobile broadband in UK
Posted by andraz, under london, seedcamp on September 29th, 2007
Getting mobile internet in London is really hard. Last few days we went to all major operators and asked them a simple question: We need mobile broadband. Can you help us?
After telling them that we don’t have UK bank account yet they were baffled. We explained that we need mobile broadband for three months and are willing to pay (almost) any price under condition that we get it right away. Even telling them that we are willing to pay one year subscription fee in advance didn’t help. They did not want our money.
The funny thing is Vodafone actually has a plan where you have no monthly fee and pay just for the traffic. We wanted to pay for traffic in advance, no go. They still wanted 18 month contract, even though there is no monthly fee.
The story has a happy ending, though. A fellow Seedcamper helped us taking a contract on his name. We are sincerely grateful. And he’ll also help us to make sense with our personal money.That is when we actually get UK bank account.
