    Default 3G Mobile Internet

    Hi Everyone,

    I wasn't sure which section to post this in, so apologies if this is a bit wrong.

    I need some advice regarding a mobile Internet solution for a laptop etc. Obviously there are lots of deals around at the moment, but can anyone recommend a decent service?

    Three are pretty good. If you can get your hands on a iPhone PAYG sim card that is the best as you get a years worth of internet included but I think they are hard to get hold of now.

    O2 Have been ok,but never beleive any Providers Coverage Maps,PAYGO First to see if you get coverage where you need it.I Have O2 and its fine everywhere but where i live.And i have T Mobile and that is utter shite.The website says good coverage in my area but my connection says otherwise.
    My O2 is an IPhone sim,in a laptop, and free for a year but i cant use it anywhere near home,and it still has 6 months Free left.If you find an Iphone sim use thsat as you get a years Free Cloud and Openzone as well.

    My vote is for Three.

    The dongles are currently £10 in the shops on PAYG.

    I've got the mifi from 3 and it says i should be able to use it indoors or out, i get a good enough signal in 1 room, thankfully i only use it when I'm out and about, and then it's fantastic
