do you know if it is possible yo use any 3G dongle to connect a laptop or does it have to be one of the brand-specific ones in the store. I was in the Wind store yesterday and the cheapest dongle was €100.
also, if I did this, would it just be an add-on to my current Wind sim card, or would it be a new number with a new balance.
I'm not sure if I'm going to by able to pair my iPhone succesfully. And, even if I do, I'm thinking it might make sense to buy a 3g dongle anyway for higher speeds (if I could get one for cheaper).

Thanks
