    The terms on quidco say they won't pay out if you take up the gift card promotion.

    Every network does data sims, from tiny to massive allowances.

    You'd need to say how much data you want and which networks are best in the areas you want to use it.

    There is currently a good SIM only deal available from TPO and uSwtich for £3.99/month (1000 mins / 1000 texts / 1GB). However, this - and most other SIMS - are now 4G. I use a 'dumbphone' (a Nokia 130), which I don't think will work with a 4G SIM. Does anyone know if there is any way around this?

    The sim should work in the Nokia, a "4G sim" just means it's enabled for 4G (as most are these days), it can connect via 2G/3G/4G.

    I've used a "4G sim" in a Nokia 6310i in the past...

    I had some TPO sims with original free credit using in a 2G Nokia, when they changed to 4G they would not transfer the credit to a new 4G sim, and as I use the mobile very infrequently I lost about £20 pounds worth of credit, only saving grace was that I had not paid for the credit, still a bit mean that they would not transfer the credit.
