> Can any one tell me how to connect to the internet using my notebook

> (http://www.novatelwireless.com/pcproducts/merlinG201.html).

Insert the SIM card into the PCMCIA card, insert the PCMCIA card into your 
laptop. The PCMCIA card will then function as a modem, and will probably 
create another COM port on your PC.

> I've got a one-2-one SIM and a btinternet dail-up.

Make your Dial-Up Networking connections use the new COM port instead of 
your regular modem COM port.

> How much does it cost a minute?

Depends on tariff and time of day and number dialled.

> Are there any service providers that offer GPRS connection?

Yes, all of them except one2one! And only on contract, not PAYG.

> Do I need a different SIM for GPRS?

Not as such, but you will need a different network and therefore a different 
SIM.

> Do I need to tell one-2-one to do anything?

Not applicable.

> Do I need to know my data number?

Not unless you want to recieve data calls. You can make data calls without 
knowing your number.

> I actually bought it for going to Oz, will I be able to use it out
> there?

Yes. Not sure about GPRS but all the Aus networks offer Data and Fax 
services.

> If so which Operator?

http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/index.shtml is your friend.

> Did I just waist �269??

I wouldn't say so, but you might want to research future purchases a bit 
more before parting with the hard-earned. :)
