Hi, currently on orange paying about 20 a month, out of contract. My phone has started to play up a bit now so need a new one, I want to tether my iPad, I don't need a great deal of data as I mainly use it at home on wifi. Don't want to pay more than £20 a month for contract. What deals are there about at the minute that allow tethering? Also I don't need a lot of minutes prob no more than 200. Thanks.

    Hi,

    I've just posted the following on another thread:

    I've just started a thread after yours re an excellent deal that I struck with 3 yesterday for a huge 15gb per month for £15 pm (their published rates are 10gb for £15 which is still a 'best buy'), both on a rolling 30 day contract.

    If you don't need as much data, Orange are offering proper Pay as You go, but it is expensive at 5.1p per mb.

    Alternatively, as an in-between, Orange are offering 250mb for £5 per month (30 day contract) BUT this also comes with 10gb of BT wi-fi (which is headlined as 'unrestricted', but read the small print).

    For anyone that has used 'free' BT wi-fi however, you'll know that the speed is very, very unreliable.

    So, it depends upon the amount of data you'll need & of course, whether or not you'll be using your tablet in a 3 reception area (which is much improved these days)!

    Hope that helps!

    Jon
