Bewva is correct, default username and password is admin / admin. Text to 2222 using log in is free and text back states MB remaining and expiry date.

If listeneing to the radio is not 'GB thirsty' - how about watching TV ?
Angela would hate to miss her 'Strictly' and 'Masterchef' - and maybe me as well

Bewva &; Simon,  I did think I would be able to use the SMS feature on the device but when I was asked to configure the device and then was warned that to continue would disconnect my WLAN connection, I didn't go any further.

Success! Just ignored request to configure device. Sent SMS and have received reply with balance. Much more convenient than swapping Sim cards.

Thanks guys.

Kevin - see this guide - and note how much more "thirsty" HD TV streaming is !!!! Although I don't doubt there figures - in fact the radio one is spot on - I found that TV was using about 350mb an hour but that might have something to do with connection speed??

In simple terms - 6.5 hrs of radio an hour and 3 hrs on non HD TV.

I just wish the message was in English.

Just bought one of these from the shop by the Otogar - 229 lira for the device, sim and 4GB.
Glad I asked the guy to make sure it was working in the shop as there was a problem with the password that was given with it and it had to be changed/reset.
All good now.

Just make sure you switch it off when not in use - you never know if you have left a device (or three) connected.
10GB used  in  three days must be a record !!!

Yes Kev, I will learn from your mistake!

To get the message in Turklish (almost English), copy the SMS reply into google translate, it gives you a good idea of what the message is telling you. I also clear my usage before topping up, that way you can see on the MiFi screen the total usage. I also use mine in the UK for the odd occasion when I'm away from an internet connection. I take the SIM (TalkTalk) out of my UK mobile and pop it in my MiFi and use the data that is part of my contract. You have to change the settings to suit the mobile operator first. Best thing I ever bought.
