| Eric what do you want the dongle to do ? Dongle is a generic term really. Do you mean a 3G dongle or a wifi dongle or perhaps even a memory stick ? |

| wifi dongles will allow you to connect to wifi 'hotspots' or access points. Like these

I would try Comaks in grine but I am sure most computer shops will have them.
Of course you will only be able to connect to internet with one of these if there is a wifi access point in range and you have permission to connect to it. |

| Eric then you want a 3g dongle and really whilst you can buy generic ones, iots best to buy one from the mobile phone company that you buy your access from. So basically either telsim ot turkcell here. |
