Hi, Has anybody had any experience using Orb on the 3 Network. I have there so called 'unlimited' surf package and I can browse the internet and stream music from many websites with no issues, however, I cannot even enter the Orb website, the browser just stops.

The only thing I think could be causing this is 3 does offer its X-Series phones which offers premium services which do actually include Orb but at an extra �10 a month. So I can only assume '3' are blocking the Orb site from my phone to force me to pay for its X-series service. How greedy is that!

Has anybody else on the 3 network had similar experience?

regards, Paul

If 3 is filtering web pages, then simply use a proxy to go through to orb.

Sounds great, how do I do that?

What exactly are you trying to get to on your pc through orb? Most applications or shared folders you can set up through a router to port forward and eliminate the need for ORB. If you aren't sure how to do that or do not have a router then you can use any free proxy on the web (ie Ninjaproxy.com, just google proxy).

There is no need to set up a proxy server.
