With Vodafone UK it's 15 pounds per megabyte over 1G if you have a 
data-supporting company contract, more if not. Much more expensive 
roaming abroad.

I have the original Option Globetrotter remote access card - which I 
have never yet got working with Linux.

We are currently using the T-Mobile version (again its an Option card 
but a very different one GT Fusion+ EMEA) on a contract which offers a 
substantial amount of data traffic flat rate for about 45 pcm. Again I 
have yet to get it working with Linux. It is NOT the older version which 
presented itself as USB devices <sigh>.

There is an external USB version coming (available already in Spain, 
Belgium) which is what I intend to buy next, and which should be MUCH 
simpler to get working...
