Deadline day is fast approaching for 3's current mobile Wi-Fi (Mi-Fi) broadband deal, which comes with a free subscription to Times Online.

All this month, consumers taking out one of the mobile broadband provider's Mi-Fi broadband deals have been entitled to a three-month pass for the news provider's website.

Since last year, the Times has charged readers for access to its online news and features content, but through this latest promotion, Mi-Fi subscribers can head behind the paywall for free.

However, they will have to register online with 3 soon, as the broadband offer is to be withdrawn in just three days' time on Monday January 31st.

With a 15GB Huawei E585 Wireless Modem, which is priced at £18.03 per month over a 24-month contract, consumers can create their own personal wireless broadband hotspots.

The Mi-Fi device allows users to connect up to five web-enabled devices to the internet at any one time.
