Cheap data SIM?

Si_Crewe · 21-01-2015, 09:55

Anybody got any advice about where to go for a cheap/simple SIM-only deal for data?

Just bought my niece an Android tablet and I'd like to stick a SIM in it so she can use it for mobile data if she needs to.

Being fairly young, I suspect she'd prefer some kind of PAYG deal rather than a contract one or a pay-up-front one.
That way it's just a case of topping it up when she can afford it rather than having a recurring monthly expense.

Also, FWIW, the tablet uses a micro-SIM.
Not sure if all the suppliers offer SIMs in all the different formats.

T-Mobile six month internet booster for £20.

That only includes 1GB of data per month for media and downloads though. I guess on a tablet, most people would want to watch video rather often so 1GB would run out too quickly.

Check out an EE PAYG sim at about £15 for 6 GB and last 3 months or sooner if you use up all the data.
