Samba Mobile Broadband - Is it Really Free?

Blue_Max

I joined Samba using MSE code and paid only £1. But that was an year ago; so not sure if the MSE code is still valid.
Samba is a still a small company with a small number of staff. Have you tried sending a message to customer support email support@sambamobile.com

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.

You can only watch and earn money from adverts when you are logged in. Samba Knows you are logged in and that is how they know you have watched adverts.

The only way to watch more adverts would be to have a second account. But I don't think they would allow that.

But I think Samba may be in terminal decline. The number of adverts available each day is diminishing quite rapidly.

I top up with cash as the topup options are more flexible than Three itself.

How to get more ads with Samba ?

It is quite frustrating as when there is no more ads to click and wil need to wait 12 hours or let it until the next day to build up the credit ? I have optimize my profile by put all of the ads bar in 100%.

I have changed browsers (e.g FF, Chrome, IE, etc), deleting cache still does not work ?

Do you have other tips that could work ?
Do you think using several computers and changing the computer once all ads have disappear will work ??

Waiting for good practices, advices, tips, etc?
thanks

Are you watching the ads while actually using samba broadband ?
I noticed when we did that, that the ads seemed less.
If you can, could you try to access samba's page when connected through free wifi while in a cafe or library or whatever? It might show more ads that way .


Can't say for sure as I usually watch the ads at home using our home broadband

I get about 15mb a day adverts as a fairly consistent average.

The first few days I had lots more and gained a gb in the first month but by the end of the month it had settled right down.

I imagine the adverts are limited by how much ad space they can sell people. They may have also figured that if people are watching hours of ads they are probably just doing it in a background tab and not actually paying any attention...

I only paid a pound for the sim after scouting around the web for all the offer codes and it goes in an ipad that only occasionally leaves the house so it is enough for what I want it for. It does seem to be the only non expiring data allowance available.

What about yesterday and today.

Sorry, unhelpfully I did not use it the last few days but my stats for the first of the month are

01 April 17.00 MB
02 April 3.50 MB
03 April 49.00 MB
04 April 14.00 MB
05 April 14.00 MB
06 April 10.50 MB
07 April 31.00 MB
08 April 17.50 MB
10 April 21.00 MB
15 April 52.00 MB

So you can see I have had a steady trickle. I am using it via my home broadband on a windows pc with chrome browser. I have my profile to say that I'm happy to watch adverts on anything. If I check in the morning and the evening I generally get a few each time.

Thanks for this. I share mine. This ia what I have got ...

01 April 45.50 MB
02 April 14.00 MB
03 April 17.50 MB
04 April 52.50 MB
05 April 14.00 MB
06 April 10.50 MB
07 April 27.50 MB
08 April 38.50 MB
09 April 45.50 MB
11 April 10.50 MB
15 April 13.50 MB (this what I got a few minutes ago)

As notice between 11 and 15 April there is not any ads which could give me credit and I log in at least twice a day.

I also always use fiber optic broadband at home and in the office. I use both Firefox (at home) and Chrome (at work).

So it seems consistence to what you have got. May I ask you between 11-14 April you did not earn any credit is it because you did not login or because there are not anymore ads to click.

Thank you for sharing info ....

I did not login so I'm afraid I don't know if there were any ads or not. It does not seem to have mad much difference though as I ended up with 80mb worth of adverts today so I don't seem to have missed out on much.

I assume on you samba profile all the sliders are to the right to say you are interested in all adverts? Whether the profile questionnaire effects them a bit too I don't know.

I'm new to this data thing, & I've only just discovered this Samba one, how is it actually working for you, is it worth the hassle, can you start an ad and go do something else or does it require some sort of input to prove you're watching.

Is there a new code as BG1 does not do anything.

I already have a dongle so which size sim should I get.

We're on a fixed income but have a small Motorhome and laptop with a so far unused dongle, so we only need data occasionally as we have Broadband at home so don't need the dongle to watch the ads.

My phone has 500mb of data per month which at home is enough but when away is not.

I just don't want to get into something I'm not familiar with, I just want a decent cheap data allowance, Argos do a 6gb data sim @ £14.99 but it has a 90 day limit, 365 would have been great, Argos code = 109/4352 (I'm not allowed to post links yet coz I'm new)

Kev.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.
