These are what's left in store, so stocks will vary. The online Stock checker may help you (http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/3-sim-card-1gb-data-n77ll) BUT it can be unreliable, I bought all the stock in Harlow and its still showing 13 in stock, which as there were 12 left on the basket and I took them all is probably wrong.
There seems to be a good few scattered around the UK, so not just a one off in Harlow.
full size sim card - not micro.

So Gavin saves himself a good amount of money AND gives others the opportunity to do so.
And he gets abuse?

It was that or we pay Three £100 or so for the data we need for an event any other way. Look on the bright side at least I said I had bought all of Harlows stock to save someone a trip.
By the Way Can anyone edit this to say £1 I tried but it changed the title to 1.00GB. Ta..

Great deal but full size sim so no good for me unfortunately. The micro sim is £5

Yep, its not often Micro or Nano sims come up in clearance deals but you may want to think about buying a Sim Cutter. Sim Cutters are £2 posted (and from a UK seller so not taking months to get here) on that well known auction site ....

At the event in September we use 8 to 10 GB of data, across 5 mi-fi's, and normally we buy data at the £10/1GB or 15 3GB rates. If I didn't know I would use the data I would not have taken them all.
I was lucky in store, I went in looking for something else that they didn't have, and this saves us £12 a Mifi. I know others may see it as greedy, its not its getting a good deal on something we will use but I can't do anything about that. Would people prefer I say I bought one and they get a wasted trip to a store?
As I said at least I said, others lurking may simple go to store buy all the stock then and Ebay them, although I suspect there's not enough profit in them to make it worth while and not post anything.

Expiry date unknown, but yes, all Three sims can be used for Feel at Home. I've bought these in the past to go on holibobs. If I see one in a maplin, I'll grab it. Always useful.
I ordered 3 and paid online for store collection.
Got a call: "not in stock - you will get a refund"

I think the checker only gets updated once a day either at the end of the day or before they open. Harlow is showing 1 in stock this morning. I did say it was hit and miss.
When I posted this yesterday there were 11 pages of stores that the computer thought with stock, now its just 2 pages, so they are going fast.

1 pound for 1GB for internet? That's not worth it on mobile broadband. Considering how much you can use. Three need to get their act together sharp, they're losing customers and only interested in gaining new ones, regardless how their network has improved slowly, but you know what their customer services is still bloody in India !!! Everytime I was with it it felt like being in a rotten hole :disappointed:

Show me a cheaper deal on any other network if you think £1 for 1Gb is bad.
Or scissors. Which pretty much everyone already has.

I got cheap 'wingles'! I kid you not - they are the o2 version of the EE buzzard. Basically a 4G mifi without the battery & with a USB plug. They didn't really catch on, so have a look on eBay & you may find one cheap - think I paid just under £20 (plus £1 to unlock). They were cheaper than any new branded 4G dongle & I just plug them in to the laptop, PC, wall charger or use them with an anker battery as needed - love them.
