jumping350 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 i broke my work dongle today into about 12 pieces taking it out they want £100 for a new one my question is its a nokia dongle with nokia software on computer can i just get another dongle from somewhere else and will be ok?? or does it have to be a nokia one in general if it helps the sim in it is an O2, so is the software matched to that specific dongle im asking really Quote
Neilp Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 just buy a pay as you go dongle and replace the sim. Should work fine Quote
jumping350 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 thats what i was hoping so doesnt have to be a specific nokia one to run with the nokia software? Quote
Neilp Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 thats what i was hoping so doesnt have to be a specific nokia one to run with the nokia software? I shouldnt think so. It should come with the drivers anyway. Quote
Neilp Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Best to drop a pm to our computer wizkids on here like chris'I, Keyser. I'm sure they will be willing to help. Quote
coldel Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Whilst moving house I used dongles, tried 3 and Vodafone, 3 was pretty awesome actually it ran at very high speeds for a dongle. Vodafone got less reception and was slower - obviously depends where you are but found 3 worked better for me in both Putney and Windsor. Quote
jumping350 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks guys i will do reason is its work computer so will need administrator to install anything hence they will slap me with £100 plus cost of new one so trying to keep it out of there hands Quote
Neilp Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks guys i will do reason is its work computer so will need administrator to install anything hence they will slap me with £1 ah I see mate, it may require installation which could prove to be a problem. They may have you bent over, or one of the guru's on here might know a way round it(it could get you the sack lol) Quote
