Richard, I was hoping you'd come to the rescue. Thanks

Congratulations for getting to Malta - good passage and satisfactory berthing?

I seem to have set the phone up OK albeit that I am not actually connecting, it looks as though it would if it could but probably can't for local reasons. I don't need it here as I have WiFi and I bought the card so that I can use it while travelling about and next year, when cruising.

My phone is a Bluetooth phone and I used to use it with Orange GPRS and Bluetooth with the same laptop in the UK so I know that the hardware combination works...it is just a matter of getting the settings right in Windows XP, I think. Orange talked me through it on the phone in the UK but my Spanish isn't yet good enough to handle that.
