Signal on 3 network can be a bit 'iffy' but Scroll picked it up without any problem, and after entering the security key, it worked perfectly, with quite acceptable download speeds.
When I researched such a device, Vodafone and 3 in particular market a device, but they are relatively expensive (£70 plus) and come with restrictive contracts, whereas this one you can just top up as and when necessary. You can connect up to 5 devices wirelessly at any one time.


Brian do you have the link please have had a look on Amazon, can't find it.

Thanks Mark.

I use the Zoom Travel Modem and a USB 3g dongle. (Vodafone ZTE, although I have used the Huawei 3 dongles with no problems) I didnt like the Mifi with the maximum of 5 simultaneous connections.

Thanks for picking me up Kamikaze-X ! I did not intend a slight on the 3 network, which is new to me, only that in some areas that I frequent, including town area of Stratford upon Avon, I was surprised that there was little or no 3 signal, where Vodafone and a couple of others are strong. Fortunately, the one area where I need a strong signal, at my place of work, signal is good, so...Happy Days !
