    5.0 out of 5 stars The Better Option

    Buying four of the 3GB SIM cards is much cheaper than buying the 3 Mobile Huawei E3231 Dongle Ready To Go - preloaded 12GB. It's also cheaper than topping up your pay as you go broadband with Three. If you want 3GB from them, you have to pay more and it needs to be used within one month which isn't good for people who don't use the internet that much.

    As long as you have a Three dongle, you just need to put in the SIM card and away you go! There's no need to download any software or run a start-up program. You just plug it in and you can start browsing straight away.

    This SIM card can be used for any Three device which means you can use it in your mobile phone or your tablet (if it takes a normal sized SIM card). This would work out much cheaper than a mobile phone contract and will be very handy when there isn't any free Wi-Fi available. It will come in handy if you have an Android phone/IPhone because you will be able to download loads of apps.

    The 3 GB dongle lasts for 3 months which is a good time limit because 3GB can last quite a while if you don't use the internet that much. It also means that you'll be able to use up all of the data that you have purchased.

    The only problem that I've noticed is that the price seems to fluctuate quite a lot.

    A brilliant bit of kit, other reviewers have commented on how they use this sim card in tablets but I use it in a Smartphone. How you ask when this is specifically a data card and will not provide a voice connection. The answer is to buy a smartphone with 2 sim slots. Mine is the DracoTek V1277 also purchased from Amazon. I simply have a Vodafone PAYG sim in one slot for voice and texts and this in the other slot to use specifically for data. A very cheap way of getting PAYG data, I have had this card for about 6 weeks, whilst at home I normally use WIFI but I have been away a couple of times in December and have used this card for mobile internet access and have even used in to connect a Laptop and tablet to the internet by using my phone as a wireless hotspot. Even with this use I have used only about 1GB so 3GB for 3 months will be ample for me.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sim stops working after 10 days ( but now fixed )
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2014
    Verified Purchase
    ( after update have changed rating from 1 to 4 star )
    Have used these SIMS in a Three branded Huawei E586 router for about 2 years - no problem and great product. Apart from the price hike I've now had 2 SIMs stop working well within the 90 days period with loads of data left.
    The first SIM ran from late November but stopped working early Jan even though only used about 300mb of data. The second I put in about 10 days ago and it was working this morning, then stopped saying no data allowance left. I've checked the online account and it just says no allowance - but I only used 40mb out of a 3gb 90day SIM !!

    I'd read the Three tightened up last year for contract customers on what they can use it's SIMs in, and wonder if this is a similar move to prevent PAYG customers using the SIMs in routers. Has anyone else had a problem recently with 3 PAYG data SIMs in routers

    Update 31/1/14
    Having now contacted the three call centre, they checked and initially gave reasons why I might use lots of data , none of which apply when I was only using it for a few hours over the 8 days it worked. But they were most helpful and put back a full 3gb in 3x1gb add-ons to my account, then stayed on line while router rebooted, and I confirmed I could connect and also checked my data allowance online.
    Having read some negative comments about 3's call centre I was pleasantly surprised at well this was sorted out. I don't now why the SIM stopped working but they sorted it out. Have revised to 4 star.
    Though the SIM is more expensive than it was , it still is reasonable value, and speed is good.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Works Fine, Web Interface is a Headache
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2018

    Works well, and can top it up online so need to buy a replacement when your data runs out.

    Loses a star because of the tricky online interface. It took me a few attempts to get registered with the My3 page. Email verification did not work at first. I think it is very dependent on the type of IE / Chrome you have. Once set up it is very convenient and works great with the 3G router I bought it for.

    Loses a further star now two months in as email verification did not ever work properly, (tried from 3 computers), and I am now locked out of my account. I need to access my account so I can copy my receipts for expense claims / tax. FAQ is not the same as proper support and I will run out of time available to sort this issue out.
