hfturbo Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 are these suitable for my Huawei unit? It has a 3 card that came with it and cost me £15 to top up with 3GB. so if they would work a much cheaper option http://www. argos. co. uk/static/Product/partNumber/1577556. htm Paul Quote Vw Passat V6 4 Motion 2009 Compass Corona Club 544 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen and Les Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yes, they are the same. I don't bother topping mine up - works out expensive for 1 month. I just pop a brand new Sim like this in. Used to be able to get them for about £12 on Amazon, but prices have increased substantially in the last year. The only exception to my "no top up" rule will be when my current one runs out as we are off to Asia later on the year and you can use the "3" sim in Hong Kong just like you do in the UK. You have to have been a PAYG customer for 30 days to use it, so by topping up the old Sim we will qualify! Quote 2019 Ford Kuga 2. 0 (150 bhp) AWD Manual and 2022 Coachman Acadia GTS 565.

henrypartridge Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 How is this cheaper than buying from Three? BTW don't bother with EE it works fine but customer service and website to monitor usage are a joke.

Tykie Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The Argos thing is for one sim of 3gb on the Three network. It's not cheap but Argos never is. About the cheapest 1gb sims at the moment are from Currys at £7. 99. Keep an eye on them because they are often £5. 99 and on a couple of occasions last winter they were £2. 99.

Tykie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Argos are selling 1GB sims on Three for £4. 99 today (29 Sep 14) but few stores have them. Edited September 29, 2014 by Tykie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebble Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The Argos thing is for one sim of 3gb on the Three network. It's not cheap but Argos never is. About the cheapest 1gb sims at the moment are from Currys at £7. 99. Keep an eye on them because they are often £5. 99 and on a couple of occasions last winter they were £2. 99. A few months ago, Argos were doing 6gb, 3 month EE and 3 data SIMs for £14. 99, usually £30. So yes, they do have deals occasionally.
