This standalone dongle works in the UK, America and Australia and offers cheap top up prices. The device costs £79 and 1GB of data, likely to be more than your current smartphone allowance, costs £15, rising to £35 for 5GB. The travel benefits are obvious and if you’re planning to use mobile data in America, the monthly fee will save you a shocking £7,911 based on 1GB of data from Orange (EE) which charges £8 per megabyte of data.
The price tag is so competitive, it may also be cheaper than paying for hotel Wi-Fi fees when abroad. The technology is made possible by Globalgig partnering with networks in the UK, America and Australia and it’s one of the best kept secrets in the world of mobile internet dongles.
Key features: Works in three countries, pay as you go
Perfect for: The traveling business person
Price: £79 and then £15 for 1GB of data, £25 for 3GB and £35 for 5GB

What a waste of time this article was, firstly is starts off by stating the obvious and then goes on to say let's look at the latest mobile dongles..........then nothing.
Thought they might have a comparison chart, or at least a rating for the dongles being used.
A real let down

I have to use a dongle on my home computer as the land line here will not carry a signal.
I use a 3 connect unlimited .
Works ok sometimes a bit slow in bad weather.
No problems have been using it for 1 1/2 years.
Was on t mobile for a time that was very slow and was always losing signal

I use a 3 connect dongle and it's a pile of pony. Can't understand the people at the customer service centre. Had the same issue regarding connection for ages and still have. Even went into local 3 store and the staff where about as useful as a fart in an astronaut suit. Asked for head office telephone number and was told Head office doe's not have any land line another pile of pony cos i got the number from google. All the same just want your money and don't give a s- - -

Hang on, you're saying that it's cheaper to take out a second contract to get a dongle than to pay the extra £2 or so to get unlimited data?
