    Just a quick question about mobile broadband..... If I had a '3' dongle could I put an 02 mobile broadband sim into it as I would prefer their PAYG options?

    You would need to unlock the dongle in much the same way as most phones need unlocking to use another networks sim.

    From what I've read most dongles can be unlocked pretty easily though
  • Aw, I'm too late! lol it was only open till 9am this morning. Never mind!

    ps Like many have more or less said above if you don't have anything nice to say then please don't say anything at all! It'll just stop people posting in case they get it wrong! x

    A million people could apply for it and it would still be a freebie but they have only got 1000 so unless you want to write to them and say they shouldn't give any away unless they make it into a competition for you by asking a question you can answer or perhaps send a picture you took for judging as to how cute it is I suggest you leave them to it.
    Perhaps you think that threads such as the film screenings should also be in the competition thread because they are limited to numbers too :rolleyes:
    Or what about the jelly beans 100 a day should that be on the comp thread :rolleyes:
    My last word on the subject as I don't wish to clutter the OP's thread :cool:

    A freebie would usually be given to the first 1000, not 1000 random people. For this one you had to practically fill in a short form to get a competition entry. If a survey says 100 people will win £25 for filling out the survey, then is that a £25 freebie?


    Has anyone heard from Three whether they've been successful or not?

    Well it's a Freebie for me - Just got an email confirming that I have got one.

    Thanks OP, If this had been on the Comps board I'd have missed it. Have been wanting one of these for ages. I get an excellent 3 signal at work and collegues that have them reckon they work very well.
