What can I do with it?
Browse the web
You can now access the web wherever
you are (as long as there’s a data signal)
– and at 3G and HSPA speeds.
This means that you only need your
computer and your Vodafone Mobile
Connect USB Modem to have all the
information and services on the Internet
in front of you.
You can use the modem with either a
laptop or desktop computer.
Pick up emails
Keep up to date with your emails,
wherever you are. Sending and receiving
large attachments is no problem, thanks
to 3G and HSPA speeds.
You can also access your personal
email accounts – even web-based
accounts like Hotmail.

Your Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem will
let you connect your laptop or desktop computer
over the SmarTone-Vodafone network, so you can
browse the web, collect emails or receive and
send SMS text messages.
Send and receive SMS text messages**
You can send and receive SMS text
messages straight from your computer.
The program provides an easy way to
view messages you have received, write
new messages, and manage contact
details for frequently-used SMS numbers.
What is HSPA?
HPSA is High-Speed Packet Access.
This allows even faster data speeds than
3G, and should make transferring data
and browsing the web even faster than
before.
If 3G or HSPA is not available, the
GPRS network will be used instead.

** SMS is currently only supported on computers running
Microsoft Windows.
