Seems a good deal for a mifi? Can be unlocked - thanks to comment #6 below by rickryder1
Dont think you need to buy a topup with it.

Not hot for me.
£3 cheaper at ID and on the same network. I got the 20gb one in Carphone warehouse last week.

Yes, I have one I use with Vodafone GR and Cosmote. Obviously need to unlock first and input the carrier settings.

Im not sure you do... you can add any 3 sim. I just went through the reserve process without adding any sim plan and assume I can pick it up instore for £9.99 no sim included?

my understanding the label mifi is exclusive to three? otherwise its called mobile wi fi so im guessing locked to three ?
Im afraid I cant see the deal you speak of on that site? Only deals are 1 month contract with £29.99 upfront or 24 month contract.

I got one a while back, used the unlock method in #6 - I had it hooked up to a PC continously for over a month and it never bombed out which surprised me.

Would this be suitable for 3 Feel at Home in Spain?

Yup, almost 2 months free if you go with ID.
Also the standard price for the device is £10 so if you miss this deal you can still get it for a tenner from them or Carphone warehouse.

Yes. Take the SIM out. It is now SIM free.

Yes I got one for that reason as the hotel I booked charged €20 per device for the week.
Speeds were painfully slow as it appears three throttle the speeds when using the feel at home.
I got a Vodafone Es sim and used it in the Mifi and got close to broadband speeds

Hi, I am assuming you did pick it up? did you pay for any top up? or just had to pay 9.99?

With £15 for 5gb doesn't seem it's worth it.

Mifi isn't a trademark of three. Irs a good price I use mine when the ee 200gb deal pops up.

You have sign up for one of the 30 day contracts when you purchase in store.

That's right, you have to sign up to one of the pay monthly 1 month rolling contracts, as I found out when I went to collect.
They're pulling a fast one I think, when they say it's £20 off, was £29.99 - I'm willing to bet that at that price it included the first month's payment.
There are a few unlocked ones on Ebay, they're around the £25 mark, which brings it to the same price as this deal after paying 1 month then cancelling the contract - but at least you don't have the hassle of unlocking it.

Does nobody else keep a cheap android phone which would do this job plus all the other perks like mp3 player, camera, browser etc

You have to take out a month rolling contract, so not as good as it looks perhaps.

next time in greece, get yourself a vodafone cu payg sim. Register it online and opt for 500MB bonus every time you topup with €10. Then topup your card online with €10 and you get an additional 250MB free mobile internet bonus. so for a €10 online topup, you get 750MB of mobile internet and your credit can also be used to buy additional mobile internet packages of 1GB for €5 online or minutes and text. I find this to be the cheapest option i Greece.

Have a word with the person serving you. They are able to give the device free for signing up to the 30day data plan!
