Described as a mobile broadband dashboard, Connect Me allows T-Stick users to manage 3G and Wi-Fi connections from their desktops.

It offers quick access to view online usage and top-up pages, usage alert SMS and management of computer connections, via a free download.

Users must have a compatible T-Stick.

According to the Connect Me page on Telecom's website, there are a few things to know before downloading:

• The file size is 32MB. The download is free so will not be included as part of your Mobile Broadband allowance.
• Connect Me will work if you have a compatible Telecom T-Stick.
• Connect Me is currently only available for Windows PC users running Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1, or Windows 7 SP0 or above.
• It's best to uninstall the old connection Manager or 3G Watcher software before you install Connect Me.
