Orange Provider

With a regular orange offer (like you may have with an iPhone), you can plug your SIM card in a 3G USB token and use the following configuration :

APN : orange
access number : *99#
user name : orange
password : orange

If you are using an Orange Internet Everywhere Pass, the configuration is :
APN : orange.ie
access number : *99#
username : [EMPTY]
password : [EMPTY]

Nice surf ;)
