PAYG -mobile data?

HarryM1BYT · 15th June 2014, 17:38

I'm looking for a sim just for mobile data only, something I can top up and use as and when I please, that doesn't expire.

I had a Voda sim like that, but they stopped it taking a load of my credit with it.

I then had Samba Mobile, to which you could add and gain credit by watching ads, then they again flew with my built up credit.

I only need it for email/ browsing on the laptop, on those occasions when away in the caravan, so it might sit for months unused.

I've already got giffgaff on the phone, I didn't know they offered a data only sim though. I'll take another look.

I use a 3 sim in my iPad and you have the option of £10 or £15 per month depending on how much data you need or £3 for 24 hours

Harry
The sim is a standard sim
The goody bags are the difference ie £10 goody bag gets me 500 minutes unlimited texts and 1gb of data
Other packages vary including a data only option

I've not been able to find it on their site.

Have you a link to a data only payg, where I can top it up and it remains topped up until I have used it?

They're called gigabags but don't give you what you need - it's a month's use. I get a £12.50 one that gives me 3 gig a month.
