Have an unlocked symbian mobile phone [Nokia] and I am looking for cheap web access, rarely use for phone calls or texts, none of the comparison sites seem to allow you to specify web access or even mention it on the site when trying to select a phone tariff..Any suggestions????

    More information needed.

    Web access on the handset or connected to your PC?
    PAYG or Contract?
    Network preference?

    It's pretty annoying that most deals assume that people spend their entire lives aimlessly yakking on their phone and sending 100's of inane text messages.

    I regard a mobile phone as primarily an internet/email/mapping device with voice and text very much a secondary function.

    If you can bag a second hand Blackberry, say a 8320(approx. £60-£80) and sell the Nokia, then you can get T-Mobile PAYG 6 Months Blackberry Access which includes internet for only £20 in total. This would be my first choice. Otherwise keep the Nokia and use the standard T-mobile PAYG internet access for 6 months - price £20 in total.

    Do you have a link for this? T mobile site seems to require phone purchase?

    Yes annoying, I use my phone calender, address book, tom tom feature far more than for phone calls or texts.

    * Of course there is a fair use policy - 100mb in this case
  • If you literally don't need any minutes or texts, 3 offer unlimited internet for £5 a month. Otherwise, go with a T-Mobile SIM Only deal - £10 a month with 100 mins, 100 texts, and unlimited internet. Just go on their website and search around for 'Sim Only'. No phone purchase required.
