I was advised that it may be better to stick with the Huawei E1750 Model as its "meant" to be one that does work on the UK mobile networks (thats if you want to use it in the uk I mean).

Theres and example here, but there is loads on ebay etc >>>  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Huawei-E1750-fastest-3G-USB-mobile-broadband-dongle-modem-stick-UNLOCKED-Android-/140953699809?pt=UK_Computing_Mobile_Broadband_Devices&hash=item20d17ec5e1

Has anyone tried a mobile dongle to get 3G yet with the CUBE U30GT 2 that is tried and tested working ?

Maybe this thread should be made a sticky or a sticky made just like this for the CUBE U30GT 2 (3G) dongles as I'm sure people are very unsure, just the same as I am unsure too, know what I mean ?

It would also be good if you could post up the exact make and model number of the 3G mobile dongle that you have tried and tested obviously, without that info we wont know, lol.

Its just that some of these dongles simply either will or wont work with certain devices because of the drivers etc, so I'm not sure if maybe only the ones I listed will be the only ones that will work, or if its defo only the Huawei E1750 for use in the UK, I have no idea, but I would like to buy a dongle and have it spare incase I ever need it, so it would be very very handy to know what models have defo been tried and tested.

As long as they are unlocked I dont think it matters what mobile provider sim card you put in it, for me it would personally maybe be O2, or Vodafone as I get a good signal with them in my area, but on the whole I dont think it matters as long as you check the coverage of the provider you are going to use.

Anyway, maybe we can start to find out what works and what doesnt eh ? good idea or what ?

I have a huawei e586, from o2, and it works perfectly, I mainly use my galaxy s3 as a portable WiFi hotspot, it it works like a dream.... Unlimited data from three

 

thanks mate for your input, but I only want to know about the ones that are tried and tested working on the CUBE U30GT 2, not any other device as they all differ, thanks all the same though mate.

I was just wanting a dongle that I could use straight into the CUBE U30GT 2 without tethering with the mobile phone etc, I know what you mean, but I am looking just to buy a dongle that I can plug straight into the CUBE U30GT 2 obviously I will need to use the micro usb to female usb adaptor cable to do this too, but thats ok, they are only pennies from ebay.

Are you saying your dongle will defo do the job for me the way I want it like straight into the machine mate ? Please let me know. (its not so much for me but for the wife, so the less hassle the better, you know what I'm saying ?).

p.s

I would imagine too that if its an O2 dongle then the giffgaff gigabag simcard will work fine in it too as giffgaff use the O2 transmitters and its an O2 top up voucher you buy to top up the card or you can use your credit card to top up too etc, giffgaff is basically running on the O2 network is what I am saying.

The thing that worried me with these dongles is that they can be tempramental with thier drivers etc, you know, like if the place recommends a certain model or models then maybe the reason for that is because of the drivers, its hard for me to say, but I know in the past I have ran into problems with dongles and drivers etc etc, plus the fact I dont want to fork out £15 to £30 etc and then have a problem, thats a nightmare if that happens, know what I mean ?

@ cuberiordan, ok mate, I understand (i think, lol), thanks mate.

Does anyone else have anything to add about which "normal type" dongle should work 100% tried and tested with the CUBE U30GT 2 ?

I still think this thread should be made a "highlighted sticky thread" on the website as there is no other thread to tell us what dongle 100% works, you know what I mean ? Its not just for my benefit to make the thread a "sticky", its for everyones benefit, cheers

(plus the fact the thread will then get noticed more and people will give it more attention as right now there is only myself and cuberiordan even bothered posting in here).

Please other people keep info coming in, especially if we can find ones that do work, even better , and I am talking about normal usb mobile dongles, nothing else really.

 

I am using Huawei E3131 on my Cube U30GT2 as a GSM dongle and it works perfectly. Anyway  I am not sure if my info would help you as I am a Polish guy and living in Poland. Therefore I cannot know if the same device would work in UK. We have four different GSM operators here but my dongle has no sim card and it can work with any of them.
