Mobile Wifi data sim

Recommended Posts

We recently bought a TP mobile wifi gadget.  I started with a 1GB 30day data sim from '3'.

 

It very soon needed a top up!  The second is now on its way out...  What could possibly be consuming the data at such a fast rate of knots?  :huh:

 

Does anyone have advice for what and where the best deal might be available?  (The 'gadget' is not locked into any specific provider).

Well Gandalf is our resident Apple expert so he may have a better answer than me, but if I read this correctly it may have been a carrier update and once done should not need to be repeated, only time will tell.

If I'm right the downside could be that if you change service provider from 3 it could happen again.

Irene - I have a 3 data only 12 GB Pay as You Go SIM in a TP Link Mobile WiFi Hotspot http://tinyurl.com/yc9u4l47  left permanently in my car tethered as a mobile WiFi Hot Spot. It is also useful when we are away from home and cannot access a hotel WiFi network. We can both connect our phones/tablets/laptop to it and gain access to the internet via the 3G or 4G data link. After having it for 8 months I have used 9 GB of data. However - we make sure that nothing connected to it is set to download software updates. We only allow that when connected to our home or hotel WiFi network.

(why buying directly from 3 is more expensive than from Amazon or Argos is a mystery)

 

It connects to the Internet by 4G and to the car via WiFi. I use it for the car sat-nav to download speed camera and real time traffic data. The SIM lasts for 12 months with nowt else to pay. It cost me £29.99 from Argos in May last year. I see it has increased in price by a fiver.

hi, i have 15GB data sim but this data sim not proper working in my mobile phone i don't know why ..

plz tell me about this problem if u know this problem? 

first, you'll have to check that the sim is registering properly on the phone.

 

second, you'll have to share details about the specific phone carrier, and phone model if you want help.

pictures also help if you have them. 😉
