HSPA mobile broadband via phone (not USB dongle) on 3 network   
I can't seem to find out much about adding a high speed data option on
a standard 3 voice/text  package (with a compatible HSPA phone e.g.
6120 Classic).  

Either on contract or PAYG.  If anyone is doing this, what are the
terms  and what does it cost?

I don't want a separate dongle.

TIA

I tested this out myself on my HSDPA O2 Atom Life on 3 PAYG - seemed
to work fine.

If I remember correctly, it only cost £5 per month for 1 gig of data,
so very reasonable (previously used T-Mobile Web'n'Walk at £7.50 per
month, now Orange at £7,50 per month as I have a business sharer
tariff with them - only 250 meg allowance but that's all I need).

It's the "Mobile Broadband" addon. £5/month for 1GB, £10/month for
3GB, £15/month for 7GB (as I recall). Minimum term is a month, as long
as you don't take it when you get the phone.

Thanks. 

I presume it can be added on to 3's PAYG as well as contract phones?

They also offer 10Mb for £2.50 if you just want to try it.

I am on a contract and they won't add it until my next billing date 
which is annoying, I went for £5 for 1Gb.

I am using a N6120c which with the latest Nokia PC Suite on a laptop 
with XPP and it connected first time.
