Mobile Broadband...please help me folks

supersezzie

Hi Everyone,

I could so badly use people's help right now. Does anyone know what the cheapest mobile broadband is and is it possible to get one without a contract, like pay as you go?

I know I could do this research myself but I have been through hell in the last couple of weeks and have moved in to stay with a friend, which may or may not be short term. Anyway, she only has limited access to the internet on her own dongle which I don't want to use up (hence me not searching) plus I feel like hell and can barely think straight. I just need to get the internet up and running somehow but she doesn't have a landline either, and because I may or may not be going home, I don't want to be tied to a contract, but if there's a cheap enough one I will do it.

I don't care about speed, I just want to get online as it's one of my only sources of comfort at the moment. Please help,

Thanks.

Check coverage with 3, O2, Vodafone & T-Mobile first.

How much will you use it?

I believe the cheapest at the moment is 3UK. See https://www.three.co.uk - it's slightly cheaper on contract, but for short term or intermittent use, PAYG is far better.

Yes, you can do PAYG. Check your coverage before buying.

most firms do mobile pay as you go dongles .They are governed by signal strengh and some other factors which will determine speed . I would find out what net work your friends on. It depend's on where you use it .
The other thing is things like iplayer and you tube eat data for a pastime even if you have good coverage .
Me I an on 3 £15 for 1gb over 30 days any thing not used will not be rolled over . I belive the others are the same in pricing

Yes go dongle on PAYG at first. If you are using it more in future then get a contract.

Go with which ever network has the strongest signal where you are using it.

I've had best results with Voodofone and Three.

You can get 3 network prepaid dongles: 1gb, 3gb and 12gb. The 12gb costs £69.99 from Dixons online, or £79,99 from a 3 shop.

If you just browse, and don't play games or download films and music, 1gb can last for one month.
