It's a Three dongle so it should be compatible as ID piggy back off Three.
What I meant though was how good would the connection be?
I've used other networks and they DO connect but take - literally - 10 minutes to load a website. I've been told this is because their SIMs are for phones and tablets and don't work well in a dongle
A Three dongle is usually network locked to Three UK,
Although Three are the iD Mobile network partner, iD Mobile are technically a different mobile network and their SIM card may not work in your Three dongle.
Because iD Mobile say their SIM cards are only approved to use in a mobile phone, you might experience performance issues like those mentioned.
