Another Three Like Home question:

I'm spending a couple weeks in England this summer (Great British Beer Festival, of course!) and so was looking for a good PAYG data SIM. I ordered a Three mobile broadband SIM as it seemed to be a good fit for me.

Anyway, it turns out I'm going to be in Hong Kong in June (before England) so I, in theory, should be able take advantage of Three Like Home. But the SIM doesn't have any credit and it appears (haven't tried myself because the SIM hasn't arrived) that you can only top up online with a UK credit card.

So my questions:

1) How integrated are all the Three services -- that is, if I buy a Three top up in HKG can I top up my Three UK SIM? and

2) If so, can I activate a Three Like Home data add-on even though the SIM will never have been used in the UK?

I can probably have a friend in London buy me a top up and email me the code, if that would make it work.

Its not a big deal -- I'm only there for 3 days or so, but if I can make it work it would make life slightly easier. Especially since my UM and UM+ SIMs are not even useful as paperweights
