nope the 3 sims were shut down by 3 due to overuse.

to use the iphone sim without an iphone is risky as o2 know when you use it in a dongle and not an iphone but saying that if you use it wiseley and not too much you can get away from it.

question i have is why go to all the trouble of buying a paticular dongle and getting it unlocked to use with the o2 sim,,, why not just buy a cheap o2 dongle for say £20 off ebay and use the iphone sim in that. or if you want slightly faster speeds use an unloccked huawei e220 for 7.2mbps, all u will need is the o2 settings ie= username vertigo and password password... dont change anything else except apn to apn.payandgo.o2.co.uk.

its worked for me many times in the past,, i would also suggest activating the iphone sim in an actual iphone and periodically use it in an iphone if possible. but activating it by iphone is a good idea to throw o2 off yr scent.

great sims by the way they are fast (i find 3 sims faster though) i have an iphone and a 3 phone both woth internet and the 3 phone is quicker.
but the iphone sims are meant to be unlimited which means there will be a fair use policy in there somewhere...

hope this helps

regards dave

O2 are now sending out warning messages to non Iphone devices which are using the Iphone Sims saying they will be disconnected within 30 days.

Whether this will actually happen or not who knows but the messages only seem to be occuring on non Iphone devices so they must be able to detect.

only reason being is id read thats was better one n easiest to unlock- 1. i had it given to me as a m8s contract was up,so i got dongle for note and 2. ialready had downloaded the unlock software for it!

so thus far its cost nothing i have also now got hold of a 3 sim with a bit of credit so ill see how much it costs and weather i can get net with no credit!!, not holding my breath now tho since u have said that!! cheerz for all ya imput... peeps
