    Default Free Broadband with Adverts from Samba Mobile

    I have NOT tried this myself, just thought it may be of interest to some of you guys.

    From their Website.

    Samba was founded in the UK in 2009.
    We work with mobile networks and the advertising community to provide free access for people to use the internet when they want.
    Users build their mobile broadband credit by selecting and viewing high quality advertising.
    Nobody has ever offered something like Samba before, so if you want free mobile broadband, just sign up, and we will send you an exclusive invitation when a space appears.
    Samba is founded by accomplished internet, mobile and advertising entrepreneurs from Orange, Digicel and Media Edge:CIA. It is funded by Irish telecoms entrepreneur Denis O'Brien.

    i've used it a few times for when i'm working away and don't want to pay for hotel wifi.

    Just got mine today.

    and yes I have been raping the adverts silly but still only managed to get 328 meg of usable data so far...

    It is using 3 as the carrier and the signal and speed I'm getting is comparable to my proper 3 sim I also use.

    Must admit they could do with some new adverts........

    Its not a Huge Data allowance but has its uses.
    I watch the ads at home on cable and have free data on the move.
    Just open a background window when doing something else.Sound off and the data allowance goes up.

    Not too bad for light use and at a Fiver for the sim its pretty decent.
    So after the £5 it is free and i like Free things.

    In theory yes, however I have no experience with the sim directly in a tablet. I think they have an app so you can top up on the iPad as well.

    They do an Ipad sim and topping up via a cable connection works well.
    No idea how to top up on an ipad but i reckon they will have that covered.

    The good thing is Ads are not forced on you.
    As long as you have enough data then all is fine.

    I got mine at the start of the week. I said I was very interest in all catagories and I seem to be given loads of ads. Best thing is the credit doesn't expire according to the FAQ so if I am working in my office I can just keep clicking ads and have them on mute running in a tab whilst I work. I got one because I never need mobile broadband but my laptop has it built in so I have it configured just in case there is good Three signal but poor O2 signal for tethering with my iPhone (like yesterday ).

    I have 320MB of data earned already so it's well worth doing if you can watch the ads like I do and continue with your work.
