Cheap internet access with 3

Dreamnine

For 6 months now I have been using the internet with a cheap bluetooth dongle (£5) ,and an old Payg 3 mobile. I buy an unlimited add-on for £5 a month and I'm free to surf.

Speed is 115.2 kbps, so streaming video stutters a bit, but I've had no problem accessing any site and downloading songs and videos. I seem to get about 3 Gigs before I need another add-on, so it's only costing me £5 a month. I don't understand why others won't connect to the internet this way, it seems a lot better than 3's mobile broadband.

I mean, why waste time with a 3 modem dongle..?

Because it is actually against there terms and conditions - the internet add on is only supposed to be used on your mobile phone not via a computer - I would be very carefull as in future you may get a massive bill especially if you are doing a lot of downloading!

How can I get a bill when it's Pay as you go. It's a loophole. Anyone who uses 3 mobile broadband is dumb.

doesnt stop it from being against there terms and conditions.

Yeah, you're right, I should stop doing that then and buy a dongle and an 18 month contract for something that doesn't appear to work as well. I look forward to phoning India, too.:rotfl:

hi i used to do the same BUT with my contract phone , but now,,,i have a 5G against your 1G max X Series fair usage blah blah...

im no longer breaking the rule t/c but only costs me £2.50 more (£7.50 for 5G, plus £12.50 quidco )

might be still a better deal if you are on pay as you go , but for contract £7.50 is good value...:j

hmmm dumb!!! Not really. I have a BT BB account £12.99 per month. 4.5mb connection speed, unlimited downloads and the best bit Wireless access that three people in the house use it at the same time. Thats £4.33 per person per month for UNLIMITED ACCESS. Ok you could say line rental ect, but its a phone line too with all the free and cheap calls (cheaper than a mobile IMO).

Not you - but anyone who takes out an 18 month contract for 3 mobile broadband. It isn't even broadband for a start.
