Three Mobile Broadband on smartphone?
Can a Three mobile broadband SIM (which is on contract) be used in a smartphone such as a Nokia Lumia then used for tethering to a laptop or tablet?
My current SIM is a standard sized SIM, so I can't test it in my phone because it only accepts a micro SIM. |

My 3, 3-2-1 sim will not work in my EE unlocked Mifi device but works fine in a phone + tethering.
I have an EE PAYG broadband sim that works fine with tethering to a phone. Going on that I would say it would work but nothing is 100% certain. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. |

I seem to recall you can use a Three mobile data SIM in a phone and use it for tethering but you can't use a Three voice+data SIM in a non phone device such as mifi dongle.
I use a Three data only SIM in my 3G tablet but I cannot use a voice+data SIM in that same 3G tablet, Three immedietly send a text saying I can't use the voice+data SIM in a 3G tablet |

Do you get a mobile signal at all? As it's an EE device it could just be that you need to update the APN settings for Three.
