    If you assume it is, why are you bothering us? Get on with it and give us your report if you wish.
  • Hi, if I unlock the dongle on my xp pc, will I be able to use it on my vista laptop ? thanks

    Well thank you for your kind and considered answer there! :beer: I'll give it a go (once I have received the dongle and sim) and will let you know if it works. I just wanted to know if it was possible rather than me fighting something which may not work...

    Ok, got it sorted.

    So I've:
    1. Flashed the Dongle
    2. Activated the SIM and added £10
    3. Installed the Telstra Connection Manager and set the APN etc.

    So why do I just get a GPRS signal no UTMS (3G) signal at all, have tried two different locations (both a bit rural but 25 miles apart)

    Any ideas?

    Maybe you can ask O2 on 0161 705 5000(outside office hours) or 08705 678 678.

    Sorted :beer:
  • I got one of these dongles last week and finally got round to wiring it up to my laptop tonight. I thought I would only be able to access 3's site to top up the sim, but I'm able to access all sites. I've not put any credit on the sim and 3 don't have my card details so how is this possible?

    Any ideas?

    If I can remember correctly when I got dongle there was a certain amount of free credit given when you registered dongle with 3. Think it was 1Gb download with no expiry.
