Does anyone have any experience of using any of these services, any recommendations?
I've used dyndns and no-ip.com before and both OK. no-ip.com used to regularly bug me with an email saying that as my configuration had not been updated in ages, unless I clicked the link on the email, my no-ip account would be closed. AFAIK the client was running perfectly well all the time, just that there were no changes of IP address. In the end, I coughed up for a subscription.
OK, thanks for all the advice - I think my problem is now lack of ability of the 3-G connection to allow incoming connections.
Is this because the router is unable to allow incoming connections, or that you just haven't set up port forwarding. I noticed you other posts about vpns etc. Previously, I've just set up port forwarding on the router to a specific machine. That machine's running a ssh server. I've then tunnelled the ports I'm interested in over the ssh link, and bob's your uncle.
Not sure, but I think this may be easier to configure than a VPN. Depends why you want to talk to this machine?
