There's no need for a separate mobile phone and there's no complicated set-up process. Simply install the easy-to-use Vodafone Mobile Connect dashboard software and then slide the datacard into your laptop.

We are now able to offer the new quad-band card from Vodafone to enable connectivity anywhere in the world where Vodafone has a roaming data agreement.

Mobile Connect takes advantage of Vodafone's 3G network, offering connection speeds that are up to seven times faster than a 56k PSTN modem dial-up connection. If you find yourself in an area without 3G coverage, it'll keep you connected by switching automatically to the well-established GPRS data service. The quad-band hardware means that you can connect to networks previously unavailable, even to voice devices.
Using Vodafone's Mobile Connect data card gives you self-contained internet and email access on your Mac or Windows laptop, without the need for any specialised technical knowledge. Large email attachments can be downloaded quickly and easily, making mobile working a practical reality. You can even stay connected whenever you want, because you'll only pay for the amount of data you send and receive. Quite simply, it means that you can work from out of the office without compromising. There's no searching for a telephone socket and there are no embarrassing snail-paced downloads.

If your business already provides staff with secure remote access to email and files on your computer network, it's likely that you can offer the same services using a Vodafone Mobile Connect data card without needing any additional hardware or software. Vodafone Mobile Connect also supports the Mac OS X.
