    I assume it is a locked IPhone so on 02.

    The data packages are as follows
    http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs/Pay_and_Go
    Pay and Go
    200mb Web + 3000 Text for £15 a month

    http://www.o2.co.uk/explore/tariffs/boltons/paygoboltons/o2webwifi
    As a pure bolt on (extra) for PAYG - £10 a month

    Not sure of the cost of out of package per 1MB, i.e using web access only 1 day a month. When you have no packages on your sim.
    Found it
    Data Charges
    For applicable tariffs with data capability: Unless a data or BlackBerry Bolt On is taken, your tariff will include O2 Web Daily under which data will be charged at £2.94 per MB up to a maximum of £0.98 per day (00:00am to 23:59pm). Once you have reached your maximum daily charge of £0.98, O2 Web Daily allows you unlimited use of Telefonica O2 UK Limited's Edge/GPRS/ 3G networks (as applicable to your handset), for personal internet use via your mobile phone. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:
    in, or connected to, any other device including modems;
    to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, enable Voice over Internet (Voip), P2P or file sharing; or
    in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.
    If O2 reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose further charges, impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission or disconnect your tariff at any time, having attempted to contact you first.
    Data usage is measured in kilobytes (KB). 1MB = 1024 Kilobytes (KB), 1024 MB = 1 Gigabyte (GB). If Data usage is less than £1 it will be rounded to the nearest kilobyte on a daily basis, and charges are rounded up to the nearest 1p. You are billed for the amount of data that travels over the data network. Please note that your bill may include charges for re-sent data packets and packets added to control the flow of data over the network.
    The prices shown do not incorporate data roaming rates.
    These terms apply in addition to your airtime agreement which is available at http://www.o2.co.uk/terms

    n.b. i believe web limit is 200mb but check first

    one off £10 top up ( often already done) gives 12m web data & wifi. It does not use up any credit though....

    call/text charges apply for calls & texts
