I always bought mine off jasper at http://www.jasper1675.com/UKgoldcards.html but it seems he's out of stock right now.

Obviously wouldn't expect to get it release day, but still a bargain.

Ordered.

Picked up three codes from here last year (£24.99 at the time). Same style of seller as Jasper - both were eBay sellers before the rules forced them off of the auction site.

If anyone's interested 3 are giving away USB dongles for free here (plus a fiver shipping):

http://www.3dongle4free.co.uk/

You can then buy standard topups and convert them to mobile broadband ones. £10 gives you 1GB, £15 gives 3GB and £25 gives 7GB.

Have ordered one as could well prove handy for 'net access from the lappy whilst on the move.

Hmm, tempting, but I'm not sure. I pay for 3G data on my phone contract, and I very rarely use more than 100MB/month, so paying £10 for 1GB and letting most of it expire seems like a waste. However, I pay double that to keep the phone contract alive, and I never use all of that either, so going PAYG for both would very likely work out cheaper.

All good, except for a big spanner in the works - I want a Pro2, and that's going to be a contract-only phone. :/

Bleurgh.

That's a pretty good deal! I've currently got a 3 3G dongle on a £10/month for 1Gb deal and I was planning to cancel it in September (when the contract runs out) and go PAYT (or whatever the term for it is).

Wonder what the expiry terms are on these broadband PAYG topups? Can't seem to find anything definitive.

What I'd really like to do is find some way of getting mobile broadband in France without paying extortionate roaming rates but PAYG 3G broadband doesn't seem to have taken off much over there.

Mark · 21-05-2009, 11:28

Yeah, I'd like to know about expiry too. If they're not too bad then it might still be worth a punt for me.
