    Hey, im going to make myself look like a right idiot but do I care.....hehehe
    I dont even know how to put money onto this to make it work :rotfl::rotfl:

    But I will open the package later on and no doubt it'll tell me :o

    I've never used anything like this before and would be grateful for any info you have on putting money on it, etc :p

    Buy yourself a 3 Mobile top-up voucher in the shops; £10 for 1GB of data or £15 if you want 3GB to use in a month.

    Plug in the dongle and go online. It should take you automatically to My3, where you should be able to enter in your voucher number to load credit onto your sim. You then need to convert the credit to broadband access by buying a broadband add-on. If you don't convert the credit to an add-on it will charge you at an extortionate rate for internet access!

    Good news! Although.... do I believe you? After all this is only your second post.;).

    Maybe I'll be lucky and escape being patronised by our more illustrious members. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    great offer, i am slightly worried as to card fraud, as i had my play.com account hacked two weeks ago for over £100 managed to stop it as play email you when you order online. Lets wait and see if anyone reports there card being used for other activities! then we will know if its secure or not!

    Yeah okay, just a bit fed up seeing people who are only trying to help others being got at.

    Does anyone know if these dongle's can be unlocked for free so that you can put a different sim card in. I haven't ordered one but I am looking for one to use with an 02 sim.

    Working on it? This is not a company that started yesterday. They knew the site was not secure. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did nothing.

    Given the cost companies have to pay for the security, those were my thoughts as well tbh. Not to worry, tis done now.
