Buying Mobile Broadband Access
With Pay & Go Mobile Broadband you can buy data access whenever you need it
from mobilebroadbandaccess.o2.co.uk
You can also check your remaining data allowance here. If you’re a PC user, the
Connection Manager software will direct you to this page automatically each time
you go online. Mac users will need to go directly to the URL above by typing it into
a browser. You will be asked to enter your Mobile Broadband mobile number which
you can find on the SIM pack in this box or on your despatch note. Save this number
as you will need it when you buy more data access.
To buy data access, simply choose from our Daily, Weekly or Monthly options;
pay with your debit or credit card; then sit back and surf within minutes.
The up-to-date cost and data allowance for each option will be shown on the
Pay & Go mobile broadband access website, so you can choose the payment
option that suits you.
Daily, weekly and monthly allowances
will expire once your data allowance
has been used or the allocated time
period is up, whichever comes first.
Then, to continue using Mobile
Broadband just buy another package
and the time period is re-set.
Pay & Go Broadband does not currently work overseas. This functionality will be available in 2009
and we will update o2.co.uk and the data access page.

Getting the most from Mobile Broadband
The USB modem is capable of giving you speeds of up to 3.6Mbps (megabits per
second). However the speed you’ll get depends on how far away you are from a
transmitter, the number of people using the network and the type of network
you’re connected to. The LED on the bottom of the modem changes colour to
indicate whether the modem is working and the signal strength.
