I think I have beaten the £5 delivered Three (3) 1Gb sim price...

Currys £3.99 which seems to include free delivery. Any reason this might not work in my laptop dongle?

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Just a bit of feedback on this sim...

I plugged it in and it just worked, no need to do anything else. As mentioned above it cost £3.99 - Three network sim pre-loaded with 1Gb of data usage, but to top it up with a second 1Gb of data, costs £10 - making it ridiculous to bother topping up when you can get two more sims plus change.

[EDIT] I have just checked and that sim is now £7.99 :-(

There is not supposed to be a time limit, but I wanted to see how the first one went first. I'm away now and as said it worked out fine, so went to order more and found the price had gone up - I guess they made an error in the pricing and corrected it.
