I have just ordered a 3 dongle, having had it up to here with my BT one, useless bit of kit, wish I hadn't ever bought it. I am not interested in a Smartphone so this is (I hope) the solution, £15.99 monthly contract but you can get cheaper if you only need occasional use.

I wouldn't jump and blame the phone signal etc, it could be the phone itself.

I was fishing last weekend at Derwent Reservoir with my dad and it is known to have poor signal due to it's location.

I had either one bar signal or none at all, yet he had half to full strength.

Another example is, I can't use my phone in the kitchen - no signal again, yet OH can!

I have a HTC, wife has a Samsung S3 mini, and my dad has a basic Alcatel phone.

It will then let you connect using wifi from the device to the mifi box (rechargeable battery powered). Not a lot more than a dongle and you can connect several devices to it such as laptop, kindle, tablets etc.

We always use 3 and had no problem we don't bother with a dongle as we gave unlimited in the phone we have an app that means we can connect lap top to phone on wireless and run it that way no having to buy a dongle. We camp in odd places like sports felids and in the middle of farmers felids and have always been ok from Scotland to the south coast

Fallenangel-what is the name of the app that you use?
