3UK launches fantastic prepaid mobile data service

Link:  3 launches pay-as-you-go mobile broadband – News – Tech.co.uk

Mobile provider 3 has launched a Pay As You Go (PAYG) version of its popular mobile broadband service. To join customers must first purchase a USB modem ‘dongle’ at a cost of £99. From here customers can ‘top-up’ their mobile broadband credit in increments of 1GB, 3GB or 7GB at a cost of £10, £15 and £25 respectively. Credit can be purchased online at the 3 website, over the phone, or from any shop displaying the 3 Top-Up logo.

SMS Text News Reader Chris Drake spotted this and whacked it over. It’s brilliant news.  99 quid for the USB modem and then a tenner for 1GB of data for the month.

The United Kingdom is fast becoming one of the world’s most data friendly mobile countries.  Next time you fly in, get yourself a USB dongle from 3UK.  No contracts, no arsing around.  This is absolutely excellent.

Mind you I’m still quite happy with my tenner-a-month 12 month contract that I got a few months ago from them.
