    Somebody should add tello SIM providers here
    Tello
    (uses "Hutchinson"- 3.co.uk network, 3G-4G service)

    Buy top-up registering, get a SIM and enjoy, no strings/contracts usage!
    add-ons:
    https://tello.co.uk/buy/data_bundles
    £7.50 3GB PCM
    or 500 MB £2/month

    Best Pay As You Go SIM
    UK & Mobile 3p /min
    SMS 3p /SMS
    Data 1p /MB
    International Pay As You Go
    Rates from UK to
    Spain 2p /min
    Italy 2.1p /min
    Germany 2.2p /min...
    etc etc

    I've ordered sim for 500MB data (£2.00), afterwards using PayPal, top up add ons- balance, not bundles
    and rest as top-ups as per required
    https://tello.co.uk/buy/pay_as_you_go

    Thanks for the recommendation for Tello. I'd been looking for a data sim on pay as you go. Some months I have no useage so I didn't want to top up every month only not to use it.

    I'd previously looked at The Three 3-2-1 offer but it only works with phones, not tablets or dongles. The Tello website wasn't clear on this, but when I queried this with Tello they called me up (from Atlanta!) and confirmed that their sim can be used for data-only use on tablets etc. For 1p per megabyte it's great for low use.

    For higher use I'd probably go for Three's prepay sim which has 6GB for £30 to be used over 12 months. That works out as £2.50 a month for 500MB. Bargain!

    I have a data sim with MobiData who have been great. 1GB a month for just under a fiver. And they give 100MB a month roaming data included free! However, it's a rolling 30 day contract and if I don't use it I lose it.

    How has your experience been? Just waiting for my sim with a massive £2 credit on it (also nice to be able to top up small amounts).

    Good morning walton159

    if your due for a renewal, and your happy to stay on the same sim only plan with talktalk, let the agent know, but dont tell the agent your happy to pay the same price, instead ask the agent to do something about the price. currently, talktalk are offering 50% reduction on all prices at the moment, so depending on what reduction the plan was on from last year, you may actually pay less this year.

    keep us posted

    I've just switched to life with their 1500 mins and 1gb data for £6.

    I got less with tesco and was paying £10 so almost halved my bill.


    3G only but speeds of 15mb. I was used to sub 2mb speeds.

    Spoke with TalkTalk loyalty and I'll be paying just £4 per month for the next 12 months. For what I get that's a very good price. ☺
