Getting the combo of 3rd party SIM and device settings took two people a while but it's now running wel!

Great idea but it's not for everyone.
Firstly I bought this as I had a spare sim card which had a few months left to run so instead of wasting it I bought this device to use it at work.
I looked online and it stated the sim card would work.
After hours of trawling the Internet and reading the horrendous instructions I managed to get through to an advisor who insisted the sim card would infact not work on this device as it wasn't a data only plan. They asked for me to send it back but unfortunately I'd cracked the back plastic so couldn't return it.
I contacted Vodafone and they said it should work despite it being not a data only plan.
I found a forum online which said it could be a scratched connector which I identified and guess what, the sim card worked perfectly. So despite not knowing their own equipment I managed to get it to work.
I would of liked a better model now as I've seen one online which is smaller and better than this device but I'm stuck with this as I can't send it back.
On a positive note, the device works great now and has helped me at work.

This is a good device, but setup isn't straight forward mainly due to the manual.
The tiny text and illustrations are so small that's it's near impossible to see - even with glasses.
Adding a SIM and SD is a little awkward, but once installed you leave alone.
Once you've activated a SIM of your choice, you'll need to access a control panel by typing a special address into your search engine. This will bring up various tools to activate your registered SIM.
Once things are up & running it works really well if the area has a good signal. A SIM contract works out cheaper if you're going to use it all the time, but for holiday use, a pay as you go could be better.
So, overall it works well, but not exactly easy to setup.

Got my Memory WiFi device delivered on time and am very pleased with being able to now use my laptop outside the house out and about, well worth the cost!

Bought this mainly to use in my caravan,so haven't used it fully yet. Very simple to set up,popped in a sim,tapped in code,and ready to go. Excellent value compared to similar products on the market.
