    Hi im new to this samba thing just ordered a sim for a dongle anyone know if it works in any dongle? mines a t mobile qualcomm 3g dongle ? Any ideas if this will work or if i will have to get an unlocking code from t mobile or anything ? Help please !

    They work on the 3 network so if you have a 3 dongle you would be okay ,else you will need to unlock your Dongle.

    If you hunt around, you can sometimes find unlocking code software or forums where there are members who will unlock for free.
    Its best to do a search for them yourself as you know precisely what you are looking for .

    Great thanks just not sure where to go looking for that sort of info im not exactly tech savvy!! Hopeless.Still i guess we all have to start somewhere.Thanks for your help though all help gratefully received.
  • Hi, I bought an Ipad without a sim card or mob number because i already have an android phone which is a Samsung. Do I need to get a sim card with a mobile number in order to use SAMBA? I use the home broadband wifi when I'm at home but want to use the ipad whilst I'm away from home.
    Thanks

    I don't rememebr using any numbers when I first used the Samba SIM.
    BTW. If Samba SIM is used for watching ads it will use up data.
    So I use normal broadband for watching ads. Also, for some strange reason, more ads are offered to watch when using BB.
    To log on to Samba when using BB use your email ID and password.

    OK thanks, I've ordered a simcard. Thanks for the offers even if yours wasn't the one I took up.

    I've had an account with Samba for a week now and have been watching ads. Just watched some more today and at 440Mb I've run out of ads!!

    I've been watching around 100Mb a day, today it says 101.5Mb but there are no more icons to watch ads! Plus the lucky dip icon/button is gone to.
    The only two icon/buttons left are the refer a friend and pay for credit.

    Just logged in and I can view ads again! Must be some sort of limit over a time period?

    I started with Ovivomobile in mid January. Have had emails from them about re-starting the ads, but I have never seen ad so far!
    I have used it in laptops and PCs running XP, Win 7 os and Firefox and IE browsers.

    the thing is with samba ,the more Adverts you watch on there site the more credit you have ,which only costs time and you spend no money :eek:
    there or their,one day i might us the right one ,until then tuff
