Well its improved a bit now, but what I don't get is, everyone else in my block has Three and I am the slowpoke! Perhaps its because I live in a blackspot?

I've just checked the checker for 3 on 3's website, and apparently we only get Basic 3G - I feel like an idiot buying this now. Can anyone explain what would this be for me? Also, could I claim a refund?

Thanks for all your help ”

£15 unlimited data Three

To further this - I've put the sim in an old Android phone (running 2.1), and it works OK browsing and it is on H, but again it's the videos stop starting - and this is one with picture and the music in the background on a low setting.

Tethering works fine with any mobile/tablet device until you try to connect it to a PC then your data speeds are throttled to virtually unusable (this seems to happen from 3pm when traffic sense kicks in) as it's against the T&C's on this P&G phone plan.

Someone on the avforums said that they spent close to an hour with T-Mobile advisors who told them that the 6 month web offer is for phones only.

What device did you use your T-Mobile 6 month sim in? Can it not be used in a USB dongle?

Wouldn't it have been better to spend £15 to get an EE SIM that last 90 days and gives you 6 gig of data?

If cost is a driving force, surely spending less is a good thing?

Also, for an extra £5 over what you spent on the 3 SIM, you could have gotten 2 of the EE SIMS, giving you 2 x 90 days, each with 6 gig of data.

I've used in a USB dongle from Jan to Dec 2014, and now a mi-fi device. No issues at all.

Another thing, who do I contact to request the 25GB for £25? Would it be 150?

On Three network?

I don't think you can get 25GB for £25 on Three.

Sorry, I got confused with those links you posted last week. That's the one I meant.

The data has been used up for the EE sim, the highest is 10GB for £30.00. How do I ask for 25GB for £30.09?

The 10GB data add-on for £30 is for PAYG mobile broadband.

I think the 25GB for £30.09 offer is only available if you sign up to either a 30 day or 12 month contract.

It's a standard PAYG one - 10GB is enough anyways for my usage, so I not too bothered. Thanks for everyone clearing this up.

I just thought because of the home being PAYG, there was a way to transfer it.
