    I was just wondering whether I could put my 3 phone sim with all you can eat data in a USB modem and use it as normal, or whether the connection mode for each is different, and would end up charging my phone credit at modem pricing. Had a quick search of forum and couldn't see anything regarding phone sim in usb.

    Had you used a lot of data in that time? I'd only use a few gigs, unlikely to even hit the 15gb. Also, when they cut it back, was it still usable for browsing or was it completely gone, languishing at a few kbps?
