Review: Pre - Loaded Data SIM Lasts up to 24 months - I bought this to use when on holiday around the UK. Fast delivery from the seller, very simple to set up, I just put it into my TP Link router and away it went. The two years start from the date it is first connected to the 3 network. Setting up an account with 3 so that I could check the data useage was a bit more complicated. You have to use the internet connection of the sim card itself to set it up, once I worked that out it was simple. Just one other thing as with most sims you MUST use it at least once every 180 days or it will expire early. As I intend to have it running as a background backup to my home BB that should not be a problem. As for the 24 months life? well time will tell if thats true. At the price it would be good for ioT stuff as well if you dont want to be tied into a contract. Watch this space for updates later ;-). UPDATE 1: Its been running for over 12 months now and still working well, my expiry is August 2025. As I said above I leave it on and connected 24/7 at home to prevent the sim "expiring". So far very pleased, I will buy another in 2025 as long as its still available and the price is not too high. 5*. UPDATE 2: 19-3-2025, Its now the middle of March 2025 and the sim is still working fine and surprisingly I still have 9GB left, very highly reccomended. UPDATE 3: August 2025 the sim went the full 24gb data amount and I ran it out just a month before the two years were up. Brilliant!
Review: Best value for MiFi/laptop 4G/LTE use on the road - Note: the new 24GB version is probably the best value right now, 2x more data for about the same cost - and lasts 2 years!!! Is there anything cheaper (just over 1 quid per month)! If you are regularly on-the-road and you need to use Internet on your laptop - rather than depend on various WiFi points, having your own LTE link is preferable. While most Cloud/FON/hotels/cafes/etc. connections do work - they are generally open/un-ecrypted and sometimes a hassle. For 2 quid (or so) a month - it is a joy to just connect directly and - 'boom' - you are on the Internet! Of course, nothing stops you to use a WiFi point instead, but if you need it - it is there. I used it first in a MiFi (EE-branded unlocked Osprey) then laptop with LTE connection in towns every time. I also used abroad (Europe) roaming at no cost with decent performance - naturally 3G+ only (not LTE). But I don't think any other UK providers provide free LTE roaming abroad. Still it saves you buying a local data SIM which may be problematic sometimes even in towns. It is particularly nice if your laptop/tablet/etc. has WWAN already installed (or WWAN option possible) - just insert the SIM and there you go. No registration required - great - and you can keep track of data left on 'My 3 Home -> Data Allowance'. It seems to update in almost real-time. If you only use it sparingly, it lasts 12 months, but if you really need to use it all in 1 month (e.g. moving house) then you can. Not particularly cheap - but still cheaper than a contract and any silly data deals are usually short-period (e.g. 100GB EE, etc.) so not really a fair comparison.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Connecting glitch but now working
*by K***I on 3 December 2022*

The 24gb sim looked like good value but would not connect to data in a tablet or old phone. Eventually I started a chat with Three, and was given the number 500 to call from the sim. They discovered that their engineers had to unlock something, and did this, and it is now working fine in an android tablet and a dual sim phone. If yours does not work Three appear to be able to sort it out. I have not travelled with it yet so can’t comment on that aspect. I have now travelled with this sim and have a couple of observations. 1. I tried to use it as a hotspot from an old android phone and all that happened on the connecting device was a site saying Three was blocking porn. This happened in several countries, and I have not yet had the energy to ask three what that was about. The phone still provided a direct data connection, just no hotspot. 2. I was away for 3 months and used the sim sporadically in various countries. Towards the end of the trip I received a snarky message from Three saying you cannot use the sim outside the UK for more than 2 months without returning to the UK. I did not spot that in T&C, which I thought I had read. I have taken away a star for these travel related issues. It is still reasonable value for the coverage in the countries available
