dongle for new laptop

[whurules]

hello i have just bought a lap top and want a dongle so i can use it while away from home , does anyone know if there is a pay as you go kind that wont run out after a certain time and lose any amounts that are unused, i want one that you can just use until it needs topping up whether thats after 2 days or 2 months ,thanks for any help xx

Vodafone is the only one I know of. More expensive per Gig but no time limit

[whurules]

thanks for the prompt reply will look into that

I bought on about 3 years ago, it was £35 including £15 credit (1Gig). As long as it's not too rural, it should work fine

and that £15 is for as long as you use it regardless of time i assume it just stays on until it is used up

I paid 25 quid (pound sign gone awol, sorry) for my vodafone dongle with 15 of credit.
Usually lasts us about 4 weeks on a good month but depends upon how many emails are sent and length of time browsing the net.

[whurules]

so there is no time limit that you have to use all the credit by, therefore not losing any unused credit if you dont use the laptop again for months?

I don't imagine you'd lose any credit if it wasn't used. Do you have a mobile phone shop near you? If so, may I suggest you pop in and ask?
I've never not used my dongle so couldn't comment, sorry.
It would take me forever to get a reply from them if I were to contact them via internet, otherwise I would happily ask.

If it's a PAYG dongle there won't be a time limit.

Thanks for all your help.

"3" and O2 are 30 days - use it or lose it. There is no time limit with Vodafone.
