    Hi, midband newbie here just wondering if anyone has any hints on how to boost speed/reception etc or generally make the experience more pleasant.

    Whats it telling me when the light is blue or green? Also can I take the simcard out of the dongle and use it in my unlocked phone in an emergency?

    Anything else you wish you'd known when you started?

    Oh yeah the main thing I wanted to ask was, if I put €20 worth of credit in the dongle now, will that still be there in a few weeks/months time if I dont use it? I asked in 2 Meteor shops and they said it would, but some people on here seem to think theres some 30 day rule, whats the story?

    If you opt in to get a 30 day pass it will deduct the money from your account and give you a data allowance instead. Otherwise, it will charge €2.99 per calendar day that you use it.
    Hope this helps!

    Are you sure? is there any explanation of this on the Meteor website? I was sold €20 worth of credit with it and they said that was 7.5 GB worth of data, I checked this in 2 Meteor shops. Am I supposed to turn that €20 into a 30 day pass somewhere?

    Yes, if you click the 30 day offer button under the top up button then it will deduct 19.99 from your 20 and give you the data allowance. If you do not do this, you will be charged the per day rate. The data allowance will expire in 30 days time.

    Can I send unlimited free texts with the Meteor software on the desktop?

    Can I put the simcard in a 3G phone and use my 30 day pass in that or is it only in the dongle that it works?

    Likewise can I start using the sim like I have a normal Meteor phone now if I wanted a 2nd phone number for something?
