dongles and prices

skintblonde

hi there,

sorry if this is posted in the wrong place,

but im hopefully going to be moving soon and was thinking of getting a dongle for my internet connection (as it's not a fixed thing that i have to pay so could opt not to have internet that month if couldnt afford it and didnt really want a landline at the min either - due to cost)

If i used the dongle that month i would buy use it for the month not the day i really hope this makes sense.

so the question is how much did you pay for your dongle and how much is it per month or do you know how much some of them are thankyou x

You can get PAYG sims on most networks, and then top up whenever required, on whichever network gives you the best signal

i did have a t mobile one and that was about 30 pound for a month but i think ive lost it moving in dec - yes moving on so soon.

wondering if there was any better deals/prices.

If you find your dongle you could order a Giffgaff SIM and then use their Gigabags to give you 500MB for £5, 1GB for £7.50 or 3GB for £12.50. Probably not such a good deal if you need more than 3GB though.

Three offer good dongles plus there internet speeds are really fast. I have one for my netbook. I would recommend the Pay&Go option over the contract.

dont really care so much about the downloading and stuff would just use it for mainly facebook games and browsing forums and stuff (im actaully quite boring lol)

this gigabags sounds good but how long does it normally last just for things like browsing?

thankyou everyone xx
