Be kind, this is my first post.

...an agressive PRICE .. to meet their 1/2 year target!



To use your 3 USB modem youll need a few things. Your computer or laptop needs a minimum of 50MB hard disk space, 1 free USB port, a Windows 2000, XP, Vista or and Mac OSX operating system. Installation is quick and easy. And the great user-friendly Modem Manager interface not only manages your connection, it displays all the messages you receive on your mobile broadband number. You can even reply to your text messages while logged in.

WATCH out for 2 or 3 traps ...

Mileage COUNTER of software is defunct ...
in other words .. MILEAGE/USAGE-documentation ... displayed via MODEM SOFTWARE is totally 'out of range' ( does not add up!)

CAREFUL - you might overrun your allowance ...costing you 100's £

the TEXT receive and reply function "they praise" above .. will COST you EXTRA ... (some of the finer TRICKS of this NETWORK)

Otherwsie .. a fine PRODUCT ...

Can you combine existing customer discount with this offer?, thereby making it £3.25

if your an existing customer, have a compatible phone and just want the internet for a short period you can get the internet access as an add on for £10 or £15 per month. You are then only tied in for 30 days, quite a cheap way of doing it if you dont need mobile access all the time.

Otherwise go for this deal, voted hot.

Will this definatley work with an EEE pc - even if it doesn't have windows? I was under the impression that 3 was the only one which wouldn't - not sure where i got that from to be honest but just thought I would check

Accoding to a couple of online reviews. Problem is, the more I read, the more complaints I find.

I noticed that the url from quidco is http://threestore.three.co.uk/dealsu...ECD001&id=1183 which for the £7.50 deal ends with offercode=18M3ECD001&id=1183 now, some interesting things occur when you alter some of the numbers in that url. ##M represents the months of the contract, however this cannot be changed from 18 months. #E stands for for GB allowance so 3 for 3GB (£7.50) and 7 for 7GB (£15) however if you change it to 1E you get the 1GB allowance for £5/month on 18month contract. And finally CD001 stands for the 3 usb modem, changing this value to CD002 gives you the ZTE USB Modem. i gues &id=1183 referred to affiliate network.

Therefore changing the end of the url to 18M1ECD002 gives you an 18 month contract with 1GB allowance per month for £5/month with the ZTE usb modem.

nb- I cannot be held responsible if 3 say that these offers are not valid or quidco fails to work.

After reading the reviews I'm doubtful on this - think I'll dip my toe in the water by getting the Nokia 6120 (six month contract for £15pcm) and see what speed I get with that before signing up.

I've just tried this and ordered zte over 18 months and costs a fiver a month. Quidco has only tracked at £1.55. However 18 times £5 = £90 which is only£40 more than modem worth on payt basis, so i'm quite happy well done original poster and cresote!
