Useful info Addie, but somewhat qualified as you so correctly point out. 8O

I hope everyone reads your comments thoroughly. Sorry to sound negative, but this dongle is not at all suitable for many members. IMHO :?

You quite correctly said, "Unfortunately, top-ups expire after 30 days, making this less competitive than it could be for infrequent users,"

I have a 3 (and wish I hadn't!) but now use a Vodaphone dongle, which is true PAYG, and in two M/H trips totalling a fortnight, I have yet to use two quid's worth.

Your warning should be taken seriously, since I think many of our members could find themselves wasting 7 or 8 pounds every month (they use it) in unused "top up", especially if they only go away for weekends or for a few days per month.

Caveat emptor!!

Can't disagree there Sonja. :D

I bought mine for £40, and the useless spotty youth (who was actually a very nice lad! :D ) convinced me it really was genuine PAYG.

By the time I found out he was misinformed it was too late to take it back. :evil:

Even at a fiver, if the user loses several pounds of top-up every month it soon becomes uneconomic.

As a mater of interest have you had better signals & more success using Vodaphone compared to "3"??
Not necessarily better signals Tel, but in poor signal areas the Voda will get a signal, albeit not a strong one, where the 3 just rolls over and gives up altogether.

In strong signal areas I doubt if there's much difference, but there certainly is in a dodgy region. OK, the Voda is very slow in such circumstances (not surprisingly), but at least it does work.
