Dongles

[Madge]

Hi
We will be out in CVO for 4 weeks this summer and have just bought a notebook so we can keep up with emails etc from our business. We therefore need to purchase a dongle to use with it.
I have tried searhing for KANGURU but sadly my Portuguese is not up to translating the site. Therefore does anyone know where I can buy one from, preferably Pay as You Go and can we do this in cash or via our UK bank or do we need a PT bank account?
Also what documentation will we need to take with us?
Many thanks
Madge

You will need to buy a Dongle when you out there and then you need to top up at the mobile phone shop, or with your Portugese Bank card, my daughters use it all the time but you need to top up every 12 weeks or it is stopped the same as a mobile no.

Thanks do you know where to buy them from locally?

I bought one on my last trip - very easy to use and you can use it anywhere such as in the airport if the flight is delayed.
I bought mine in The Algarve Shopping Centre. There are several shops for the various companies but I used Optimus as their coverage is excellent. I took in my laptop and they set the whole thing up for me and were very helpful. Cost was 59 Euros which included 10 Euros of credit.
The phone shops are onthe ground floor at the oposite end to the cinema.
Good luck.
