    i have a 3 broadband dongle. what i want to know is when i unlock this , can i use a contract sim card from my mobile phone and use broadband on my laptop? would it cost me any extra to do this on my contract? or would it come as standard with my mobile contract? i get unlimited broadband on my phone but im not sure if i can use it on my laptop.

    thanks

    Hi

    Off hand you cannot use the phone sim in the dongle to use your phones free broadband, but I cannot remember where I read this so contact 3 and ask, but iirc the sims are different and have different signatures for accessing the mobile network.
