Hello all. We are hoping to have a holiday and its likely to be away from wifi. I have an O2 mobile PAYG sim ready to go, but I need to find a wifi dongle to use it in. The O2 PAYG ones are not available, ever.....any suggestions for a reliable wifi to use the PAYG sim in to keep everyone connected? Thanks so much slight_smile

@Tracijbc 

You need a data only sim to use in a dongle. 
You can't use a phone sim.

@MI5 Thanks, that's what I have already. I was asking about the dongle, not the SIM card. Thanks anyway.

@Tracijbc 

I was just confirming as you said you had a "mobile sim" which won't work in a dongle.

Check on Amazon for any sim free 4g dongle, which will work fine with an O2 data sim.
