Hi looking for the correct simcard to insert into my dongle for internet use, previously had a three sim but the connection was too slow. Dont want to order the wrong sim it will be for data only no calls etc minimum 25gb a month but preferably 50 thanks very much

The £20pm 100gb one? I tried putting my o2 pay as you go sim intot he dongle for a test and it never worked.

Yes, the broadband sims are data only for dongles, mifi devices etc but you will need the correct settings on your dongle for it to work.

Great, thankyou very much have you any idea where I could find the settings I need to put into the dongle?

[John17]

These are my settings unsure of what the number section should be , 

This is whats coming up when I press connect

That's because it's not a MBB SIM card so it is blocked by o2. 

The correct SIM will work fine.
