3 USB mobile broadband sim in 3G phone ?

Can a 3 mobile broadband (£10 / 1GB month allowance if that matters) sim be removed from the USB dongle and used to surf only (no phone calls) in a 3g mobile phone?

If so, what are the APN settings please ?

It does work, but you will need to buy the internet add-on instead of the Mobile Broadband. The APN is three.co.uk with blank username and password (this is different from the APN used with the dongle)

If I buy the internet add-on, will it still be at the same download limit and conditions (£10 for 30 days with 1GB limit) ?

For handset browsing, you have a choice of three add-ons 50p a day or £2.50 a week or £5 a month.

For £5 a month they give you 1gb usage on your mobile phone. The add-on is called internet max.
