More info see Martin Lewis:

Pay as you go. Top up £10 to get 30-days internet browsing.

It's currently possible to get a PAYG Three dongle for free, paying just a £4.95 postage charge for delivery. Dubiously named yet legit website 3dongle4free has been authorised to offer this deal by Three. It's available to both new and existing customers while stocks last, 1 per household.

To get one, go to the site and fill out the forms, then wait for an email with your login details and a coupon code on it. Return to the site and login, then enter the code on the next page. Take care to click the 'redeem coupon' button, or else you'll pay full price for the dongle.

The Three Network's Pay As You Go package gets you the same service as you'd get on a contract, with the same standard data costs, but you're not obliged to pay every month. Unfortunately, top-ups expire after 30 days, making this less competitive than it could be for infrequent users, but if you get the modem at a good price then it's still a good deal.

QUICK FACTS. Speed: Up to 2.8 Mbps (upgrade due soon) Download Limit: Varies Modem & Connection Fee Included: Connection free, modem bought Technical Support Phone Costs: 4p+ (0870) Additional Usage Costs: £1/mb (£1024/GB) Roaming Costs: £3/6 per mb (except in 3 'like home' areas, which are included) Contract length: N/A

Last time I used an SFR 3G connection outside France it was marginally more expensive than using a UK T Mobile one.Have SFR reduced their rates now?Look at the 3G coverage maps Offcom have recently been forced to issue for the UK. Appalling coverage outside of urban areas.
Dunno the rates yet Phil.
As we live in France and would only use the 3G dongle when travelling, it just seemed more convenient than McDonalds.

But if I now have to seek out a major town and pay per minute this free dongle seems not all it's cracked up to be. Have to see if I can compose a suitable response to SFR.

Just returned from a round trip of Yorkshire, Northumberland, the Dales, and Cambridge. We got connected most of the time via the 3 dongle although there was a large area around the Yorkshire Dales where there was no service. I had meant to check coverage of 3 before we went but forgot!
