I see on the 3 site they run a recommend a friend deal, where you get £15 credit for recommending someone and they get £15 too (if you got for mobile broadband or £30 for a phone).

So before I buy myself a dongle, does anyone who's already with 3 want £15?

PM me and I'll send you my details.

3UK switches down to 2G now too.

Mine doesn't sad.gif My modem can see the Orange signal when there's no 3 signal, but resolutely fails to connect, either in my XDA Flint, or Advent 4213.

Some people can get 3 PAYG SIMs to use Orange's 2G service in the absence of a 3 signal, others can't, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason why!

How bizarre, I thought they fixed that! Is yours an old SIM or something?

I believe there is a thing called 3 like home.

Check here for details: http://threestoree.three.co.uk/Help_Suppor...ome_Pay_Monthly

One thing they do which is far better than all the other networks.... Vodafone has loads of networks in different countries, yet they still charge you more for using them. I applaud 3 for doing this.

Cheers

Unless you're on a 3 network abroad, it's gonna be massively expensive. France data is a real pain atm, there are no good options (unlike other countries!)

If anyone is going to go for the '3' deal might you be kind enough to put in my number for the £15 off deal?

Would be much appreciated.

PM me and I'll let you know

Cheers

The option to top up with "internet monthly / weekly / daily" seem to have disappeared.

My Three USB stick arrived today (I ordered it yesterday after spotting this thread). I've just registered it, and went to the "Buy Add-Ons" screen, but the crucial options are no longer available.

I tried changing "My mobile" (on the Three site) to a real handset (not usb stick) - hoping that that would open up the "internet monthly" option. But it didn't make any difference.

The only mobile broadband options I've got are Broadband Lite/Plus/Max which start at £10.

Any ideas?

I just checked on my3 for 3 different SIMs and all show the required option...

Try logging in to my3, then click this link: https://my3.three.co.uk/myaccount/processPr...?addonId=000066

just to add my tuppence worth. I have the £5/month Internet add on on my mobile bundle. It gives me 1GB / month. Having said that I also have a dongle for £12.50 giving me 7GB a month so not too bad....

maybe i'm being daft (nothing new there) in that mine is for my mobile and you guys are after the dongle.... I can't see the dongle add on as I'm on a monthly contract with them...

sorry for misunderstanding & confusion caused....
