Anything over 1GB you're better off with an add-on or the likes of GiffGaff.
Thanks - will bear in mind. I normally have 1GB data allowance on my contract but my kids nabbed my phone, managed to turn off wifi & then proceeded to watch a couple of hours of cartoons...hence leaving me without any net!!!
Ive looked at the 3-2-1 sim - its basically £10 for 1GB as is GiffGaff.
I dont need to make any calls on it - just net for a month Any others?
Three & lycamobile are offering 4G on their bundloes if you have a capable phone and are in a 4G area, so they are your best bet.
Lyca is £10 for 1GB, Three is £10 for 1GB as is giffgaff.
Thanks Zee. Just 3G for me!
Ive seen GiffGaff sim on ebay (high rated seller/sold 325 of them) for 7.99 with £15 credit which gives unlimited internet.
Is there a catch?

doesn't seem to be a catch, go for it. Just remember to add either the "£12 or £15 goodby bags, giving you unlimited internet.
Well if we're being technical it's £10 for 1.12GB.

Having said that, if the £15 giffgaff credit for £7 isn't too good to be true (no reason to see otherwise) with a goodybag for unlimited data, I'd go for that if it's just for less than a month, as long as you will be within decent O2 3G signal.
How do you get £15 giffgaff credit for £7?
view the ebay link posted in the thread
1 GB = 1000 MB
1 GiB = 1024 MiB
Yeah, it's just someone re-selling an unwanted SIM for less than it's actual value, just remember next month you'll have to pay full price.
While it isn't too good to be true, some people have reported crappy data speeds on GiffGaff and there's always the lack of rural 3G coverage thanks to the O2 network it runs on.
Hmm?

Brilliant!! Thanks
What does this bit of small print mean ?
Please note this SIM will NOT work in a dongle/router
Might as well just buy a new SIM each time...
it will work in a phone, not a dongle
Yes, I can read that for myself, assuming you're not taking the piss, a bit more enlightenment please ?
Why not in a dongle? and how would it know the difference ?
Phone them. Mine wasn't activated after 7 days so I rang them and they added it straight away.
They can tell the difference somehow. - possibly by the imei number?
