I can't speak for the Virgin dongle, but the only way you'd get at the SIM card in my Vodafone 3G dongle would be with a hammer! It's a sealed plastic thingy. I've not tried using it abroad but I'd imagine one of these outcomes:
- it doesn't work in the slightest - they charge you hundreds of pounds per byte of data (I may exaggeratebut you get the idea).
Of course you mileage may vary!
In my case (it's arrived now) the SIM is a standard one that just plugs into the bottom of the USB dongle so swappong SIMs is entirely possible though whether the dongle is unlocked I don't know.
I'm not aiming to use the Virgin SIM in Belgium, I'm going to buy a Belgian SIM.
