What Dongle..

  • I got my daughter in London a dongle with T-mobile on a 24-month contract. The signal frequently cut out or slowed to a crawl. Anyway it was better than nothing. To me 24 months meant 24 months, but as T-mobile understand it, the contract just carries on unless you phone them at the end of 23 months to cancel. I missed this deadline and was charged an extra month, and within that month got a letter from them threatening me with a debt collection agency. I paid immediately by cheque. They then added another £3.16 to the bill and within a month had flagged up my Experian report as a non-payer for that £3.16, which I have sent another cheque for. I wouldn't use them again.

    Your minimum term contract is 24 months. After that you may leave without penalty as long as you give the required 30 days notice.
    Otherwise your contract continues until you give notice, it doesn't just get cut off after the minumum terms ends. All mobile contracts work this way.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Short answer is None. Mobile BB is never unlimited, the best package seem to be with 3 roll on contract, £15 / month for 5 GB. But their speed is rubbish, I just came off that.

    They aren't that bad considering a good proportion of normal landline services give less than 2mb
