My son was lucky to win an Ipad through a competition recently and I am thinking of getting him internet access for it for 12 months as a Xmas present. He lives with his mom at Umhlaas Road about 20KM from Pietermaritzburg where I live and I doubt 3G would be available in his area. What options do I have which would be the best for where he lives? And what would be the cost?
