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

Funnily enough I wondered with your earlier post if you would be able to use it at all, says me who bought one months ago and have never taken it out of the package

This happened to me when using Firefox, so I tried it using Internet Explorer and the page loaded up with no problem.

The dongle came this morning, which I guess is quite fast. It's a ZTE MF627.

My 3 USB dongle is the HUAWEI E160G

These may be "cheap" because

Our Review of the ZTE MF627
The MF627 is yet another low-cost, low performing USB modem. Like most of it's rivals in this price bracket, it's based on the older Qualcomm chipset giving lackluster performance. Spend a little more cash and get a faster modem, such as the E169.

Furthermore, in the device information it says
SD card slot: No

My E160G can take up to a 4gig card.

I'm sure in earlier posts the discussion was that this 3 dongle DID HAVE a SD card slot in it
Yes, found it.

thanks, ordered one, came up with the secure visa password type page, so i assume it was safe enough (hope so anyway)



the dongle also has a bit for your micro sd card, so you can use it as a data stick also

People shpuld be aware that a topup expires after 1 month AFAIK on 3. OK for regular use where you use up the credit then. I recently got a Voda dongle for occasional use, cos the credit never expires, you just pay for actual data usage. £40 price included £15 of credit. Maybe 'free' isn't always the best deal?

Whilst Vodafone may be cheap, I've found that their service is much slower than 3. They may have a select number of sites which offer a faster service than 3, but for many (most?) sites around London I still only get a GPRS service. If I'm on the move I'd prefer to get the pages downloaded faster.

we have a 3 pay monthly dongle and it is quite bad quality Im afraid to say our last one broke and even this one is n its last legs and we do take care of it but its soo bulky and sticks out too much of the usb slot

We paid £50 for the replacement so this free one is a good deal

Does anyone know if we can purchase it and use it as a backup for our pay monthly dongle??
