There is no such thing as a free lunch… but there is a thing called a free 3 dongle!

3 is slimming down ready for spring and has shed pounds from its Pay as You Go mobile broadband packages and to celebrate its new trim figure, 3 is giving away 1,000 dongles.

Yep, you heard it right, on Monday 9th March, 3 is giving away 1,000 mobile broadband dongles. All you have to do is visit http://www.three.co.uk/biggiveaway and 1,000 randomly selected visitors will receive one of our latest ZTE MF627 modems.

3’s colourful array of dongles have dropped almost £20 so if you aren’t a lucky winner you can now pick one up for just £29.35. With top ups starting from just £10 a month that’s the best value Pay as You Go deal out there!

And just so we’re really ready to spring, 3 has made it faster and easier to get started with PAYG mobile broadband. Our re-vamped Ready-to-Go data packages let you buy data up front with your dongle so you walk away online, connected, and ready to go. Buying 3GB of data, which lasts up to 3 months, along with your dongle now costs just £58.71 and 12GB for 12 months access is only £97.86. When the data runs out just top up your dongle and keep on moving!

3’s newly slimed down Mobile Broadband packages are available in 3Stores and online. So take your laptop outside for a breath of spring air while you work and have a little dance on us!
