As stated above just testing to see if I can get it to work with the 100mb if I can I plan to change my tarriff to something more suitable.
My laptop connects using wifi thru a BT hub at home. I switched this off for the purpose of the test.
I link the laptop to the phone ok with good signal strength but it doesnt connect to the internet.
I know my phone doesnt support fast data speeds but it should still connect all be it slowly shouldnt it?

Yes internet pages should open up.
Any pages with pictures in it would open up slower.

Limited access means its not fully set up and wont allow you to open net pages.
