Below is a small selection of some of the great sites that you can reach through the G-Portal, along with the URLs if you want to manually enter them. But don't forget, the easiest way to get to your G-Portal is by using our short URL 'da.gp', which you can enter simply by pressing the keys '32147' in that order on your phone's keypad. Either 'da.gp' or 'www.da.gp' works, so even if your phone likes to add 'www.' to your URLs, you can always get to G-Portal in just five memorable key-presses!
