It's T-Mobile - you can check coverage on both their sites and if you try it, you get 28 Days and you can return the dongle and cancel the contract. It works at Dial-up speeds in a non-3G area

They've probably got a huge mast in the grounds of the call centre (I'm in the Port)

Double check that it's excellent 3G coverage and not just 2G coverage, some of the coverage sites can be confusing

Enter your postcode and Click the 3G tab here - http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/ukCov...k.howdoi.sm235
