BR and mobile broadband

Is it possible to get mobile broadband when your BR? I'm guessing they would do a credit check but surely there's some way of getting broadband when we move?

Also my mobile phone, do I tell O2 i'm BR?

Any help will be much appreciated.

  • I don't know anything about BR in general, but perhaps you could consider prepaid mobile BB. Provided that you can find the money for the dongle with built-in allowance, there is no need to give any details at all.

    You can get a 3gb prepaid dongle from 3 shops for £39.99 just to give it a try. A 12gb dongle is £99 I think - the prices change all the time.

    It is not much good if you are in a bad reception area or want to download many films, music and play games but it works very well for some people.

    yep - you can get pay as you go mobile broadband - you just buy it over the counter.

    theres loads of different packages but generally it works out at about 15 quid a month for between 3-5 gb of data.

    You don't have to tell o2 you are BR, infact we moved to o2 BB while BR with no problems.
