From: AndyG on 21 Jan 2010 10:07 This PAYG dongle has no expiry date on unused credit which is ideal for the uasage I will make of it but his deal was discontinued by Vodafone direct at around Xmas. Argos still have some in stock according to their website, do you think it will still work on the no expiry basis once it is activated. Woundln't want to get it, activate it and then find out it expires after a month Vodafone Mobile Broadband on Pay As You Go USB Modem http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5490464.htm

This does not affect your statutory rights." So you can't just change your mind, *but* if it *does* expire after 30 days despite the description saying "The only pay as you surf mobile broadband with no 30-day expiry", you'd have a pretty good claim under your statutory rights. If in doubt, consult your local Trading Standards department before you buy. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

I would be very careful here - I think the main problem is that you are buying the dongle from Argos, but then have to buy a top-up from Vodafone. And it's of course the top-up that will expire (and not the dongle). If there is any top-up included with the dongle (not sure if there is), then I would expect that to not expire after 30 days, but I would guess that any additional top-up you will then have to buy from Vodafone will expire after 30 days. (Vodafone probably won't be too impressed by your Argos dongle and Argos probably won't care too much about a top-up bought from Vodafone).
