sim data problem dongle
hi i was told by sky that their normal SIMs ie has dta, calls, texts on it willwork with a dongle usb type. however tried in 2 dongles and not producing wifi. i would say thedongle is faulty but 2 different ones from 2 different suppliers? it has been activated according to sky. could the sim otself b faulty? i did think trying it in my phone but have to make it nano size to fit then it would b too small fit in dongle. my dad just wants small amount data to wach 2 0r 3 hours tv evening. as he only get 5 0r 6 stations through flats tv aireal on roof. most mifi things look expensive. so i thought dongle low data b fine for this.
anyideas or help would b great as at moment i have had 2 give him spare phone as a hotspot for his tv and i am always losing mine
. i have seen a type sort of between a usb type dogle and set top box type. would that b easier to set up?i i did set up a dongle 4 him years ago and was easier but cant remeber if it was data only or something else.

Re: sim data problem dongle
Were Sky APN settings applied? (Most dongles require this manually setting as they cannot process network sent ones)
