Of those of you who use a dongle to link, what are you using and recommend? My usual go to Huawei 3372 is becoming quite expensive and am looking for alternatives. Any input appreciated :tup

Looks like ZTE ones go for around £40 on amazon which doesn't seem too bad

Yeh but trees, leaves, birds and foxes set the motion detect off all the time and when they turn up the battery is dead. Unless you’ve got it running on power which they will find easy. Also requires Wi-Fi.

Is this the reason why you need unlimited data?

Thanks, never tried one of those. I can pick up my usual dongle for around the same price as this, was paying £20 a year or so ago. However I can get a BT branded version of the Huawei for a tenner but haven't yet found a way of unlocking it
