Sorry, I was wrong:
You can buy mobile broadband access online using your debit or credit card. Standard top-up methods such as voucher and E Top-Up cannot be used to buy Mobile Broadband Access.
...is what it says on O2's website.
I don't think you can buy top-up vouchers for ANY mobile broadband.
The nob in PC World must have sold you a phone top-up voucher.
Wrong, I use a vodafone dongle and just buy a £15 mobile top up voucher from tesco, plug the dongle in, load the software and it says enter voucher #
I know t-mobile do this as well, and maybe 3;)
don't spout crap without doing some research

I use t-mobile and it is much better than horribe 30

As far as I know, all networks but o2 allow you to use paper vouchers to top-up.
How does that defeat the object of PAYG? It's annoying, sure, but it still means you pay up front, when you want to.ts_aly2000 wrote: »It's a bit like buying a PAYG phone, and then finding out that you can only top it up with a credit card. Which completely defeats the object of PAYG.
Also you'll be pleased to know that mobile top-up vouchers are non-refundable, so expect to be met with some resistance when you go back. Thought I'd forewarn you.Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

Don't underestimate the ability of them to say "the top-up isn't refundable. Sorry".Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
