    hi jesse johnson, first rule is you bought used tech so when it does not work then we scratch our heads and wonder why it does not work. this is bad okay cause dig this and this is not going to make you happy when that machine were made it was a good machine but what happens if we go didgital then how do you think that that same machine would work with todays tech. this is your problem so you have been had. sorry to tell you this but that explains the problem that you are having. to buy from e-bay be careful you can be taken real easy like my nephew in law's mother gets into e-bay she has been ripped off so many times and we tried to tell her but she like so many likes to buy old tech and it does not work. if you don't believe me go to a computer repairman and tell him about your problem he will know what the problem is and the first thing he will say is to stay away from used tech. good luck hope i was helpful to you

an obvious question but have you installed it on the computer? have you any credit on it? if so then email the guy you bought it off and tell him your problem he may be able to help you, a bit of after care like?

the 3 dongle, when inserted asks you if you want to install the software from it, select yes without it it wont work just sit there and flash. Next launch the software and see what it says if it is no service. How old is it, remember that in most cases if the sim card is unused for 6 months or so the provider will dissable it. If you have an old mobile phone lying around then try inserting the card into it, if when you turn it on it says unregistered sim then its expired. If you are sure the software is installed properly and you get no service then it is the sim, in this case dont panic, you can simply buy a new sim card and put it in. Ensure that you have bought a 3g 3 sim. You will need credit, go to a supermarket and get a £10 voucher, when you first turn it on and connect on the three site you can input the sim number the voucher and tell them then you are using it for broadband. Sounds like an expired sim issue.
