Ok, so it's not entirely Free, you have to pay £4.95 for postage and<br>
packing, but apart from that it's free.<br>
<br>
The website is <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.3dongle4free.co.uk/">http://www.3dongle4free.co.uk/</a> and the dongle is locked<br>
to the 3 service, however it's easily crackable so it can be used on<br>
any provider with any SIM.<br>
<br>
Basically you just pay for the postage and packing and they send you<br>
the 3G USB Dongle and a PAYG SIM card, don't bother with the SIM, just<br>
run the firmware update and you have a nice fresh shiny dongle you can<br>
use with any SIM you want.<br>
<br>
The firmware update is here and needs to be run under Windows XP,<br>
instructions included: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://rapidshare.com/files/235523732/ZTE2.rar">http://rapidshare.com/files/235523732/ZTE2.rar</a><br>
<br>
The dongle itself is a ZTE MF627 and there are drivers for Mac OSX,<br>
Linux and even some OS called "Windows" which I believe some people<br>
are still using?<br>
<br>
Postage took 2 days, cracking takes about 20 minutes (simple process),<br>
all looks fine to me...<br>
<br>
ttfn,<br>
John<br>
