What is it?

Mobile broadband from T-Mobile lets you connect your laptop to the internet whenever you want and wherever you are It's totally wireless - you're not tied to your landline or even the range of your wireless router. And it couldn't be easier to use - just plug it in and away you go.

When your phone isn't enough to do what you want on the web, mobile broadband is for you. Just like a mobile phone, mobile broadband uses a SIM card to connect. The SIM card goes into a USB modem (sometimes called a dongle). The modem is then plugged into a laptop and hey presto it connects to the internet.
