Laptop Connections Abroard

[singalong]

I shall be travelling to both the USA and Australia (not business orientated) and wish to be able to make use of email etc while I'm away. (Hotmail)
I have checked out a few sites offering "services" but nothing seems really clear cut. As I shall be away a while, I don't want a huge bill piling up for when I get back.
Anyone any experience of doing this who can offer some help?

well if its only for email, why not go to an internet cafe

You are quite right Breezer, it's just as I have my laptop with me for other reasons, I thought I might as well use it at my own convienence.

I think you can arrange with the bank to pay the bill for you on a direct debit system.

I found a really good site at netaway.com, which offer "local" dialing numbers for most places in the world for a fixed payment. - dead cheap
