Mobile Broadband Trial?

Hi,

I have just moved in to a flat, and the mobile phone signal is quite poor in most areas of the flat.
The flat does not have a phone line connected, therefore I am interested in getting mobiel broadband. However, because of the poor mobile phone signal, I don't want to be paying a lot out on dongles or getting a contract for it to not work.

Therefore is there any free trials out there, in order for me to test the connection of the broadband?

Thanks, Chris

  • Get the 3dongle4free (£4.95 p&p), unlock it and experiment with different network sims.

    You'll already get a 3 sim, so that you will know what their coverage is like.

    Apparently, an Asda sim (50p) will act as 3G when inserted into a 3G phone or dongle. It uses the Vodafone network. Worth testing.

    There are 3G o2 sims on Ebay for a couple of quid.

    That leaves T-mobile and Orange. Again Ebay or their own website, but make sure your sim is 3G.
    RIP independent MSE.

  • You can get a prepaid, ready to go 3g kit for £49.99. The allowance is 3gb and it lasts 3 months or until it is used upl
