    No. But why go for T-Mobile if you say there is a 3 transmitter at the farm?

    because with 3 you get on payg 1gb for £10 3gb for 15 or 7gb for £25
    whereas t-mobile you get 1 day for £2 but if your a new user you then get 28 days free , then after that you can buy 1 day for £2 3 days for £4 ,7 days for £7 and 30 days for £15 and you can use the dongle all the time in those days

    three is the biggest rip off ever

    Personally I would not touch 3 with barge pole, been there (two MMB contracts now expired) got the t-shirt.

    But the OP states there is a 3 mast where they will be going. There is no mention of T-Mobile being available there so a T-Mobile or other network dongle it may not work there!

    when you buy dongle in t-mobile they can do a check to see if it works for you

    I was getting mixed up with all my transmitters! I can live with a not too good signal near my home anyway as this is only a temporary measure and if needs be I can drive down the road with my netbook to download messages!! It will come in handy for future use too when I am on hols. A kindly MSE'r has sorted me out with a t-mobile dongle which as robpw2 says, I can top up very cheaply as and when I need too.

    I use Tmobile for when I'm away. Basically its preset to charge you £2 per day, but when you load it up. there is a button to press (apologies can't remember if its in settings), but you change the "USEAGE/PAYMENT" from there.

    It has 3 choice
    £2 per day - pre set at
    £10 for 2 weeks
    £15 for 1 month

    No they can check on their website to see it there is coverage in the general area, not a specific place. All the networks have these checkers. They are nowhere reliable. Or they can plug it in in the shop but again that does not guarantee anything.
