    OMG - I've just checked my credit card account and there were no fraudulant transactions, no additional unexpected transactions and the balance is correct. !!!!!!!

    Whats going on? Should I ring up Micro P to complain?

  • Hi!
    I've got round to setting up my dongle and have registered with my3, however it's not giving me the option to buy a 5 pound add-on; the only ones available are for texts or mobile broadband (at a tenner for 1 Gb :-( ) I've changed my registered mobile to be a phone to see if that helped ... it didn't.

    Am I being thick here?

    Thanks

    Kevin


    Sorry, there is a link........won't let me put link on but here is the address but you must be logged in to my3 already before clicking. This should give you the 5 pound option. Hope this helps. (put the http prefix thing on it first)

    briefly reading costs, t seems the basic option doesnt give much bandwith at all.. maybe better offers about, taking into account costs of extra downloading?

    Hi, to all who are trying the 5 pound unlimited 3 mobile broadband, there is a problem.... I DID get the 5 pound unlimited but they have enforced the 1gb fair usage limit. Ah well.... worth a try. I did take the pi*s a little bit by downloading streaming films though

    Hey there. Can somebody confirm how this works please...?

    I have a 3 dongle and a 3 Pay as you Go SIM. I can only see on the website that any top up will give me 150kb of free Internet. That's a long way from 1gb! What am I doing wrong please...?

    For the pricing it states £10 gets a 1gb allowance for thirty days which enables you to surf the internet for 10 hours ?!
    Does this mean £10 would only buy you ten hours surf time ?!?!

    Im trying to decide between this and O2, the only thing going in o2 s favour is I can just pay by the week and use it for holiday surfing.
    Merry Christmas MSE!

    The software in the youtube does work. It reflashes it to a ZTE 626. You need to use the supplyed manager as it says in the Video not the supplied 3 one. I use a iphone o2 sim which has been workin fine for when i want to surf away from home

    What type of speeds are you getting with the o2 sim ? I tried the 3 sim and I was getting decent speeds, tried a o2 payg iphone (3G) sim and the speeds are much slower.
