Asked wife to pop into Southend to buy a 3 MiFi dongle, a Huawei E586, she is standing in Southend High Street as I type.
I had phoned the Southend 3 shop to confirm a couple of points and that they had stock.
Rosie was told by sales person that this device and the 3 data will not work abroad, so Rosie phones me here in France, what to do?
She's off to get a cup of tea and hope that I can confirm it's the right thing to buy, she is supposed to bring it with her when she travels here tomorrow so time is of the essence.
Anybody understand why the sales person said this?
We understand the roaming charges are high, but 90% of the email use will be in the UK, and we only need email via our tablet. The sales person was stating that the device and 3 network partners would not work in Europe.
Help please.
ps: if we get this do we register the device/sim in the UK or register it in France when we need to use it in 3 weeks time. We are buying the +3 option with 3GB and 3 months duration
