With a 3Pay SIM, you get 150MB of internet use for 'free' - valid for 90 days - every time you top up. That may well last you for several weekends without using up any of your top-up fee. When that's all gone, you can buy add-ons out of your top-up. As Christof says, a month's worth of internet is only �5 compared with �10 if the use dongle's original SIM, *but* you don't have to buy a month's worth - you can have a week's worth for �2.50 or a day's worth for 50p. An initial �10 top-up should last you for quite a few month's worth of occasional weekends if you buy it by the day. You can get a *free* 3Pay SIM by following the link in the signature of any of Steve Terry's posts. You don't need a physical 3Pay phone to top up the SIM and buy add-ons - you can do it all on-line from your home internet connection plus one use of the dongle. It's all explained in my post of 3rd January to the thread "Skypephone S2, 3 Mobile Broadband and Skype". If you can't find it, come back and I'll repeat it here. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

What exactly is happening? How long ago was "before"? I managed to set up a My3 account for a new 3Pay SIM about a week ago without putting in my phone - though I did need to put it in the dongle in order to receive the text message containing the password. I haven't actually tried to top it up yet - but see no reason why I shouldn't be able to do that within the My3 account which I have set up - unless you know otherwise?! -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..
