Mobile internet in Ireland
I've just been pondering internet access while we're Explora8ing....
It will be useful for all sorts of things, not least keeping track of bookings/reservations a few days ahead.
One option I've considered, to minimise data roaming charges, is a local SIM or one designed for data roaming.
In the latter category it looks like Three, with their "Feel at Home" offer might be a good deal. http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Phones/Feel_At_Home
I'm thinking of taking a spare phone with a £10 1-month mobile internet SIM in it.
See: http://store.three.co.uk/view/search...riff=204510100 (2GB) or the "Data Reward" SIM Pre-loaded with 1GB and valid up to 30 days.
Anyone have any other/better suggestions, especially the locals?
