Firstly, apologies if answered previously, a search has not revealed the answer. I have just inserted the 3 sim, as above, my car recognised it insofar as a welcome message was read to me. My phone connects showing a WiFi connection to my car, but, no globe appears. Could not obtain a web page via my phone. Requesting advice as to what I should do now. TIA.

According to 3, their map shows excellent coverage inside and out, having searched by postcode. I have taken a pic of my in car display but need advice how to post it. Sorry people.

No account needed for the 3 sim, it just worked for me.

Having read the comments about sim cards, I bought the 3 sim from Amazon and fitted it into the slot, ticked the box on settings for web and it worked striaght away, no sign in etc. Found the various comments on here about the 3 sim deal really helpful, so big thanks for that. There's some YouTube video's about sim card set up also.

Feeling rather dim. My Vodafone sim will run out next month. Which 3 SIM card would be the best value to replace it? Thanks for advice.

Make sure it is a data only SIM. Used to be called "Internet with legs" and available from amazon or argos as well as other places. If you use the apps a great deal in the car...listen to streaming music then you might eat through the data...so go for one of the higher gigabit sim cards. Otherwise if you only use it for live traffic and downloading maps then a 12GB might be ok to last 24 months. Think I went for a 24GB and now on my second one.

Search for “ Three Mobile Pay As You Go Mobile Broadband 24 GB data SIM” on Amazon, it’s £44 at the moment.
