skybox f5 dongle (sim) gprs

[quavis]

tried asking sellers on ebay about the gprs dongle these boxes can use instead of ethernet and none of them know the answer, they usually reply asking if i mean the dongle that takes a phone sim or telling me ebay sell the wifi dongles for them, which isnt the anser to the question.

does anyone know what gprs dongle (yes one that takes a phone sim) wirks with the skybox f5... please?

Should have got an F4 which has a sim card slot.

However the sim card use is very limited as most provider require login details that cannot be entered in the GPRS setup.

Works with o2

use a wifi dongle ant teather it to your smart phone

sb yeah that would work but just creates more gadgets you have to have to make em work. im not sure why this box maker decided to go with a dongle that was incredibly hard to get hold of!
i recommend anyone wanting a box to use with a gprs dongle/sim get an f4 as mentioned before with the built in sim slot.
if anyone has one of these g1 modems leave a review, i think they are few and far between!
from what i heard the g1 modems dont work too good either.
i was trying to keep it simple sb for people that doesnt know techy stuff... thought the g1 might have done that but it seems more complex than it needs to be.

its a question of if uk fone sims would work in the g1 anyway?
i know 02 work in f4s but not heard of anyother fone sims working in f4s?
