Has anyone seen ebay auctions 300314181830 and 160335041493.

They are for information that they claim lets you use the £10 top up voucher over 2 months instead of the normal 30 day expiry. The info costs £2.40 for the first one and he has good feedback realted to the auction.

Anyone care to buy it and share the info? I would buy it myself but so far I can't even get my dongle to work. My signal strength is one bar and is disconnects very quickly on the few occasions it has connected. I live in central London - I though the coverage would be good here.

Don't be conned into paying for info of ebay, a 2 minute search on google came up with this

When you "top-up" the SIM, the money sits in your account until you spend it (either on calls or texts but in the case of this dongle mobile broadband). There are options for "Mobile Broadband" which costs from £10/month for 1gb BUT there are options for daily/weekly/monthly internet on your handset which you can "buy". Even though you are using a dongle it will let you pay the fiver and get a month of internet with no restrictions. I used mine whilst in hospital to watch SlingBox for a fortnight, dread to think how much I used.

aren't 3 doing special deals on contract dongles for existing 3 customers?

Basically the information they provide is
Do not select mobile broadband internet access but select the other type, i think its designed just for use on mobiles but is still 1gb and fine with the dongle. It only costs £5 for 1gb so then you can use the other £5 for the next month. I tried it and it works, i also got the sim card with the instructions too and used that one and not the one that came with my dongle so if Three wanted to do something like suspend my account it would not really matter.
