Samba Mobile Broadband - Is it Really Free?

redux

I've just read through the whole thread at last.

Some people have mentioned having more than one SIM, and one or two imply having them on the same account.

Also I can see in the My Devices section it looks possible to order another within the account.

Can anyone confirm whether they personally have more than one on an account, and if so are the data earned and used just aggregated?

I'd be happier if I could just get a signal at home to try it out!!! Have watched a bundle of adverts while connected to our home network, am told I'm over my allowance, but no chance to reduce it!

Couple of days ago, I tried the Samba SIM is dual SIM phone I just bought. While I could use data from another SIM but I could not use data in Samba SIM.
Is this a settings issue or is Samba for tablets and dongles only?

Some (perhaps most?) dual SIM phones only have 3g on one SIM position. Try it in the other.

Anyone know of a guide to cut the sim down to nano size for use in a ipad mini?

Thats why I got an Ovivo SIM, they supply nano SIMs to order.

There are guides available..just Google it, and cutters are also available on eBay.

This is really big deal for those people who love to stay connected with friends and family through internet. Now people having mobile can enjoy free internet from Samba mobile broadband.

There are some killer features with Samba - uses Three which beats the rest for data and you can do instant, not -recurring topups eg £3.50 for 250mb or £5 for 500 mb. Ovivo by contrast does not allow simple one-off data topups.

However I got a bit tired with Samba in the end as sometimes the choice of ads went down to nearly zero and so often the same ads re-appear.

I use FON as well as Samba.

Samba is great when there is no free FON WiFi hotspot available. And I like the fact that the credit earned watching Samba adverts never expires. I just make sure that I use a few Mb of data each month to keep the SIM alive.

There now seems far more adverts than there were a few months ago, so it is easily possible to earn !00 Mb in one day.

Most of the time though I use Fon when away from home, since it is also free but is unlimited data. The only requirement is that you have a free Fon account and that you make a Fon WiFi hotspot available to others.

Fon is also available in a number of Western European countries, especially France and Belgium, whereas Samba is not.

In September MSE posted an offer for £1 to get 100mb samba bandwidth, I followed the link & used the mse100 code.

Samba charged my paypal £5. I emailed both MSE & Samba mobile & was ignored by both of them.

£5 has been taken from my paypal account over a month ago & no MBs have been added to my samba account.
