Cheapest PAYG Internet?

Roland_Flagg

Basically if I got an Android phone for use only for the web and put £10 on it (with no expiry), which network would my £10 last longest on?

Thanks.

If you fancy topping up a little more (£15) you can get all you can eat data on Three with 300 minutes and 3000 texts. (http://www.three.co.uk/Pay_As_You_Go?intid=topnav)

Giffgaff also offer 250 minutes, Unlimited texts and unlimited data for £10 (http://giffgaff.com/goodybags)

Thanks.

I assume in those deals that the internet part of it expires after 30 days if you don't top up again?
I'm after something that I can put £10-£20 and use just for the internet that will last me a lot longer than
just 30 days and doesn't expire until I run out of credit.

I don't think those exist. To be honest, the Three and giffgaff deals are very good and are much better than you get on O2, Orange, TMob etc. I think £10 per month is nothing, you probably spend more on things that are bad for you

The closest you may get is T-mobile PAYG.

Top up £20 and buy a 6-month internet booster with your £20 credit balance.

This gives you internet for 6 months.

That's £3.34 per month. Probably the best you'll find I'd have thought without fiddly cashback deals.

You can get a T-mobile SIM with £20 preloaded for £16 at Amazon. Use a new SIM every 6 months for internet access for £2.67 per month!

How much data does it come with though? If it's unlimited then that's amazing, but I doubt it. It's probably capped to 30mb per day or something under fair usage.

Tmobile does an add on, £20 for 6 months internet. Think its capped per month, although not sure

Fair use policy
Fair Use Policy for internet on your phone

However much you use the internet, you'll never get charged extra
We're the only operator to offer you a fixed price for browsing and emailing on your phone with no limits and no extra charges.

• Use 3G for getting online on your phone when you're out and about
• Never pay more than your monthly fixed price
• You can always browse and email with no limits

Is there an allowance?
You can browse and email as much as you want.
There is a 500MB allowance for streaming videos and uploading and downloading files. If you hit this limit during the month, you won't be able to do this stuff again until the next month.
For the best internet on your phone, connect to your home WiFi, so you won't even touch your 500MB allowance.
What about using apps?
Some apps use a normal internet connection, so they will work just like your browsing and email allowance. But there are some apps that use streaming connections, so these will fall into the 500MB allowance.

How much data do you estimate your use each day?

You will be surprised how much data you use im on giffgaff havent put the 10 pound goodybag just used the google sat nav 50p gone on my credit all depends on how much your going to use internet and how much stuff like youtube etc your going to use video is the worse for eating data.

I'll only be using it for betting sites/apps.
Probably 100mb a month would do.
