Is it a contract one?

Plug the dongle in and you should get a pop up box asking you to make a top up payment.
No reason why it shouldn't work

beez ..doesn`t say if it is a Pay as you go type,if it is ..hc is correct,if it is on contract should have no problem using it

I have a PAYG O2 dongle. Don't use it very often but I did buy credit for it last week for the first time in about 9 months. Worked fine. Just depends on your package/contract.

thanks
yes it is a pay as you go, havent used it 2 years approx. just wondering as chromebook does not support many apps etc.

also wondering if o2 is best ? or maybe 3 network ? as i say im going to work in new forest area so no wifi about anywhere.

There's thousands of apps available for the Chromebook...

Yes it can work, just call dongle customer service and tell them dongle IMEI or sim inserted in it and ask if it will work when you recharge it, or you can visit any customer service center.

Just plug it in and see what happens.
