Not much to choose between the deals. Just make sure you get a Huawei
E220 modem as ten minutes googling will furnish the info to unlock it.

I have a Huawei E160G which works well (though the first one that I had
was faulty and had to go back to the 3 shop). One problem that I had
initially was that when you register on 3's website (so that you can
top-up by credit card) it sends you the initial password as a text to
the modem and I needed to use the Windows app to receive it. Does anyone
know a Linux way of doing this? Putting the SIM in a phone would work
too I suppose.
