4G Router with Unlimited ThreeUK Sim - Is this correct?

GibsonSt19

Hi all, having recently served cancellation notice to Sky I'm looking at perhaps purchasing a 4G router for use with a ThreeUK Unlimited sim (as I get excellent 4G signal with ThreeUK at home).

From what I can tell, the only costs would be for the router itself, and £20ppm for the sim card, and that I'd have unlimited data each month.

Am I overlooking something here?

Yes. router is all you need. And click it through quidco/ TCB to get cashback.

There are people manage to haggle the price down by reduce mins.

Alternative there is 24 months homefi for £22 which including router.

By the way, I compare a few routers based on price and spec..
IMO, Huawei seems to be best value for money.
Huawei B525 £115
Huawei B310-22s £60

Thanks for replying!

People haggle with ThreeUK to reduce the price due to having no need for minutes, but still retain Unlimited Data? If so, I will certainly give that a try, but I thought they were set packages.

The B525 is the router I'm looking to get, and wondering whether the additional antennae would be worth getting too? The router is £122 along on amazon (easier returns), but £115 in eBay (including antennae).

This is the plan you take order the £20 sim card with quidco £70 cashback head over to three chats complaints (Google it) politely telling them not feeling happy with my plan.
I want less minutes eg like 200/600 you should end up with 600 minutes for £13-£14 or 200 minutes for £10-£11 this method worked twice now beware do it within your 14 days cooling period.

Using my £11 200 minutes ayce sim card in a 4G tplink router 1200ac update my £70 cashback just been confirmed too works out I'm paying £62 a year for home broadband bargain. Lol

Or you could pay them £23 a month for only 40Gb. !!!!!!?

I take it the Huawei B525s-65a is better than the B525s-23a due to additional band support?

I would just use the supplied router to receive the 4G and a standard wifi router to distribute. You get a much wider choice.

He probably talking about HomeFi plan which is 24 months with £22 per month, come with Huawei B311.
That looks like the £60 B310.


B525s-65a seems to be same price. I would go for that.
