3 PAYG Data SIM won't work in MIFi

A

AC Question

I have a Vodafone 206 MiFi - basically a Huawei E5220. I bought an unlock code on Ebay, which seemed to work, and I've used it with a Voiamo/GiffGaff/GlobalGig SIM for some months in several countries in Europe. When I'm at home it uses the 3 nertwork.

I recently bought a PAYG 3 data SIM (12GB, valid for 12 months). This works as expected in my Samsung smartphone, BUT it won't work in my MiFi. I've reset the unit, tried it in different locations, but nothing has worked. I've talked to 3 Help, and they've been very helpful, but their (fairly reasonable) attitude is that the SIM works in my phone, and I didn't buy the MiFi from them, so they can't help any more.

Can anyone tell me how to get the SIM working in the MiFi? All suggestions welcome.

TIA

Mick
