Broadband

[jagboy]

I have an old dongle that I used to use to get mobile broadband on my laptop when out in my caravan, I haven't used it for about 5 years. I recently purchased a Huawei 3550 unlocked to all networks and tried putting the simple card in it to get 3G but couldn't get it to work.  As far as I can see the settings seem to be correct, do I need to buy a 3G package to get it to work. The old simple card still has £9 of credit on it and it is on the doesn't have an end date, the dongle would work as long as there was credit on it, any suggestions?

Hi @jagboy

SIM cards to tend to become old and not work as well as they used to.

You can pick a SIM card up from your local Vodafone store.

If the SIM card hasn’t been used for a period of time, it’ll be deactivated as per the Ts&Cs of Pay as you go.

You may also need to make sure that the Firmware on the dongle is up to date, for help with this check our dongle page.

Thanks,
