Samba Mobile Broadband - Is it Really Free?

Stevedolphin

I have today placed an order for the Micro Sim Card using the code in today's newsletter but still got charged the full £5. Anyone else have this problem, I have emailed Samba and SME.

Thanks for posting on here Stevedolphin, and sorry the code didn't work. If you can PM me your details used to place the order, I will contact Samba on your behalf.

Mnay thanks,

Website is failing when entering delivery address but AFTER taking £1. Hmmm.

Hi, I've never used mobile broadband and just want this for my laptop...will any dongle do? I've seen a few posts where people are saying "bought one on ebay" but what is a decent one to buy and what's a good new/second hand price? definitely not buying Samba's at £25. Is it as simple as plugging the SIM into the dongle and off you go?

I've built up 8 Gb of credit, and have only used it a couple of times.

I had a dongle already from 3, and the service was never good.

I've found that the reception is very variable in the house, and I have to use a long USB cable from my laptop so I can get the dongle near the window.

I think you must mean 8mb...

Hi leadhead, the code works for both the standard Sim and the micro-Sim. I tested it myself yesterday, and it is working.

So if you have any problems, please PM me and I'll see what I can do.

Many thanks,

Just registered for a micro sim using MSE code. Samba website didn't confirm only £1 would be taken from Paypal so I emailed them to confirm. Pleasantly surprised- email back from Samba support that only £1 taken out.

Does anyone know if you get a NATed IP address or routed using dongle or phone (on mobile internet) ?

The IP I got when I really looked was a routable IP and I could ssh in using it.
