  • Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G HSDPA USB Modem

    Vodafone's compact USB modem boosts accessibility to the telco's high-speed 3G mobile network — but the speed can range from over 2Mbps to less than 300Kbps depending on your location.

  • Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G HSDPA Card

    The v600i is a good jumping in point for 3G telephony, although there are flashier models out there.
