Computer has gone mad!
Someone please help.

Can any SIM card dongle be used with any SIM card? I have a giffgaff SIM which is supposed to be quite good so I guess I just…

This would be very handy for me as I'm setting up a business and breaking the cash sales forecasts down into different streams would be useful,…
