meagain0 How do you know that the fair usage policy is non-existent? What if they charge you later on ?

Can confirm this still works after 5 and a half years! T-Mobile keep trying to cut off my SIM and refuse to replace my worn-out damaged SIM after being used in 5+ phones over the years and cut to various sizes. They tried to take it from my in the EE shop, tried to force me over to a more expensive EE plan, tried to threaten cutting me off, but the offer still works after all this time. That's pretty impressive. The fair usage policy is non-existent - I hit 3GB data last month and it still worked. This month I'm using it for all my traffic as it supports tethering.
If only it was 4G... but hey, it's better than £30+ a month for the same thing.

As if this still works! It's survived 5+ years and, for all practical purposes, the death of T-Mobile in the UK! :laughing:

Still works.
Don't expect to be able to make Skype calls or essentially any VOIP usage now. T-mobile block such attempts unless you're on their most expensive monthly packages.

17 Mar 11#32
Also!!!... if anyone can answer me this... can I use this booster for surfing with my dongle mobile internet?
it's not specified and it might be just for surfing on the mobile (not what I want).

I thought T mobile reduced its FUP to 500mb (probably after merging with c***y orange)

If you want to use this for a dongle, it's cheaper to buy 2 3Gb 90 days three sims of ebay, works out £14 for the same, the 6Gb total can be used any time over the 6 months (not restricted to 1Gb per month), and you're not breaking any T&C's. The 3G coverage of three is also better.

I've done it for around a year now, as long as you have £20 topped up you just text 6MONTHBB or 6MONTHSBB I can't remember which is which or the number :disappointed:

I'm using my t mobile pulse phone as a modem for my laptop with barnacle. My download speeds and ping for online gaming is better than my home broadband! (o2 on access package, no LLU in my area)

Pay as you go customer? If you have a compatible phone, you can text 6MONTHWEB to 441 for free from your T-Mobile phone to buy our 6-month Booster giving you 6 months of unlimited internet browsing on your phone.
We'll send you a text to let you know when your Booster is ready to use. We'll start counting your 6 months straight away and we will let you know when your Booster runs out.
If you choose an Android phone, as it's always connected to the internet, once your Booster has run out you'll then automatically be charged up to £1 a day to browse the internet. See the legal stuff and fair use policy at http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/fup
You'll need internet coverage, check it at http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/streetcheck Remember that you can only use internet on your phone in the UK and you can't use your phone as a modem or use internet on your phone for peer-to-peer file sharing, or making internet phone calls.
This Booster comes with a fair use policy of 1GB a month. We'll monitor how much you send and receive each calendar month so that we can protect our network for all our customers. If you use more than your fair use policy amount, we won't charge you any more, but we may restrict how you can use internet on your phone, depending on how often you go over your amount and by how much.
