  Yes, it is a '3' pre paid SIM, that's why I thought it would simply........work! :|

  Thanks for the link PhearFactor, do you think this will solve the problem? Even though it's a '3' dongle anyway? (Genuine question) :)

  It won't help unlocking if it's a 3 dongle and you're using a 3 sim in it,
  
  assuming the sim is ok it must be something in the settings on the 3 connection manager that isn't set correctly,check in the settings or try resetting a new profile

  try something like this-
  
  
  Open the 3connect dashboard,click settings,then advanced settings
  
  click profiles,then click add,type any name for profile name then click ok
  
  highlight the network name you choose and click set active,then click connections,it will say all changes will be lost if you proceed without saving,would you like to save before you proceed? click yes
  
  then connections will open,click add again and type your network name for connection name,it will say bearer 3gb,leave that as it is and click properties
  
  In the access point name enter the apn for 3 which is 3internet ,you dont need a user name & passsword
  
  
  leave everything else as it is and click ok
  
  then click add to profile,there should be 2 boxes with columns showing onscreen with arrows in between,highlight your network and using the arrow move it across to the left side in selected connections,if there is anything else already in there delete it,then click ok,then ok again and then click on the close profiles,
  
  the dashboard should then show scanning and this should then change to ready to connect

  Thanks Grabbit, if I create a new profile (currently there's '3 dongle 1', '3 dongle 2' etc), should this solve the issue? The 3 connection box doesn't come up on my computer, my friend who put the operating system on there told me this is because it's a Linux system. I will try resetting a new profile for the dongle, cheers :)

  Thanks again grabbit, I am going to write out your instructions now because I am at work and (believe it or not) the printer is currently out of action, so I can't just print it off!! I am fearful about touching anything else in the office :D! SIM's are '3' pre paid
