Hmmm....thats interesting. I think I'll read up on this goodbags thing to see if theres any catches. I'm currently stuck in a contract, but am always looking for good PAYG plans to switch over. Thanks.

Do you want internet on mobile, or mobile internet?

The mobile dongles for a PC have higher caps and higher speeds.

Interesting I was thinking about this earlier, could I just buy a data plan and put the sim in my smartphone? that way I could get one of those twin sim things for the odd time I need to actually use the smartphone as a mobile phone.

Yes you can put a broadband sim in a phone. I did this with my 3 broadband contract and used it as a payg for voice and text too. But you don't get some voice services like voicemail as they were not designed for that purpose. I wouldnt like to say this was the general case for all networks. I did look into the twin sims but none would work properly with 3. Had something to do with lack of 3G support, if you don't have that then itll be running at 2/2.5G speeds. Things may have changed since I last looked into it and they are producing better twinsims now.

Is unlimited really unlimited?
The answer is yes, we are unlimited for personal mobile use - but not for commercial and automated use. Mobile Internet allowances exclude PC use and tethering.

I did read that bit, but sounded a bit "too good to be true", so wanted to scour their website for any other small prints that may contradict that statement. I'll have to keep an eye on them when my contract expires in a couple of months time and review again. :beer:
