    Giffgaff gives unlimited data at £12/month, which also includes 250 minutes and unlimited SMS.

    Giff Gaff is the cheapest as mentioned above along with Three at £12.90pm with 200 mins.

    Bear in mind you cannot tether on either of these plans. Giff Gaff and Three have strict tethering policies in place and will block you for tethering.

    This doesn't apply if you buy one of Giffgaff's gigabags, for example £12.50 per month for 3GB.

    what you mean by "tether" ?

    Connect your phone to your PC and and use the internet from the phone on your PC/Laptop.

    But if you have no idea what it is then it won't affect you so either of the two deals above will be fine.

    Giff Gaff is better as it's a top up service with no need to sign a rolling contract unlike Three.

    I'm assuming you need the mins/texts as well so it's a very good deal for £12pm.

    I figured out that my lycamobile offers the same for 10 pounds!
    I tested their 3G, it seems a bit crappy, but works
