Or do I need to have a broadband SIM if that makes sense. Thanks for any advise in advance.

If your normal phone SIM is three, and PAYG, u should be good for unlimited data either way, dongle or hotspot. Hotspot would run down your battery faster.
Otherwise a new 3 SIM and €20 for 28 days in the 3 dongle. Your dongles are prob network locked.
