The original Vodafone dongle sim I have lasts........ you need to access the service once every 180 days (i believe) to keep it rolling. All new Vodaphone dongles expire after 30 days, £15 topup required, however you can find the original sim on ebay - better if you are not a heavy user.
You may be able to find an 'unlock' then use any sim - but the Vodafone mobile connect software will not allow it. for me the Huawie Modile Partner software works well, still not managed to send 'text' messages with either software.
I am just starting to play with a E220 dongle, flashed with a software update it may be G7.2 if I can find a location that is using it.
