Using a 3G Datacard SIM in a handset..

[mlusmore]

Hi,

I'm a photographer and need to be able to access high speed internet on the road. Everyone at work uses a dell laptop with a 3g datacard but as I like to be difficult I want to continue to use my mac.

I have the use of an ibook and a new macbook both of which are bluetooth enabled however they have no datacard slot. I have read that soon vodafone(and i'm sure others) will be bringing out a 3g usb modem but until then I need to connect.

So the question I am posing is..

Can I take the 3G datacard sim out of the datacard and put it in a 3g phone and connect to it?

I am assuming that it will work but wondered if anyone else had tried?

thanks.
mike.
