Mobile Broadband
3's new 3G Data Card is a wireless modem that gives you high-speed 3G broadband connectivity direct to your laptop. It enables you to have simple, mobile broadband access to email, the internet, your own office systems, and even 'broadcast' SMS messages to multiple recipients direct from your laptop.
Simple & Easy to use
There's no need for a separate mobile phone and there's no complicated set-up process. Simply install the easy-to-use 3 Modem Manager Software and then slide the data card into your laptop. 3's fast 3G Data Card makes mobile working work.
Always Online
The 3 Data Card takes advantage of 3's 3G network, offering connection speeds that are up to seven times faster than a 56k modem dial-up connection. If you find yourself in an area without 3G coverage, it'll keep you connected by switching automatically to the well-established GPRS data service. In both cases, you'll be able to:
- access internet-based email accounts
- browse any web page
- send and receive text messages
- chat using instant messages
- connect to business networks using secure VPN
Business Benefits
Using 3's Data Card gives you self-contained internet and email access on your laptop, without the need for any specialised technical knowledge. Large email attachments can be downloaded quickly and easily, making mobile working a practical reality.
You can even stay connected whenever you want, because you'll only pay for the amount of data you send and receive. Quite simply, it means that you can work from out of the office without compromising. There's no searching for a telephone socket and there are no embarrassing snail-paced downloads.
If your business already provides staff with secure remote access to email and files on your computer network, it's likely that you can offer the same services using a Mobile Connect Data Card without needing any additional hardware or software.
Dual Band for Roaming!
The Three Data Card is a dual mode, dual band card, which means as well as operating on 3G networks it can roam onto GSM900 and GSM1800 networks in over 150 countries world-wide. (Please check first as 3G and GPRS roaming is not available in all countries). Roaming charges apply. An optional antenna connector means you can plug in external aerial if you regularly find yourself in fringe coverage.
Flexible Costs
With 3’s range of flexible Web & Office pricing plans, you can be sure there’ll be one to suit your bottom line. You can even track your usage with our NetConnect data counter, so you’ll always be on top of your spending each month.
Coverage
3 3G is still new technology and 3G coverage is available in key towns and cities across the UK. Coverage is continually being extended but is currently available to over 70% of the UK population. When outside of a 3 3G area, your data card will automatically switch to GPRS which covers 99% of the UK population.

GPRS
GPRS is an "always on" Mobile Internet service that is typically 2 to 3 times faster than traditional GSM data. Effectively being online continuously, there is no delay due to dialling up to your service provider and GPRS technology means that you are only charged by the amount of data you transfer, not how long you are online for.
