PAYG Data Sim

Hi,
I've a 3G iPad which I had a Ovivo Data sim in for the last 18months, wasn't the greatest, but only used it rarely so for £5 it severed its purpose. Before that I had a T-Mobile PAYG Sim (iPhone) which gave 12months free Data (500mb per month) which once activated in an iPhone worked in an iPad. I also had a Dongle with a Vodafone 1Gb Non Expiring Data Sim. £30 for Mobile Data for the last 4/5yrs isn't bad :-)
Now all these have ended, I'm looking for another cheap way to get Mobile Data (iPad) but only use a very small amount and most months I never use it, so I don't want to pay 'X' each month, so is there a PAYG Data Sim, where I can Top-Up £10 and be charged each time I use it or buy 1Gb that lasts until its gone.
Three's 123 won't work in an iPad (my mate has tried it) & My Phone contract won't permit Teethering.
Thanks

had a quick look around the only thing i can find is this http://giffgaff.com/index/pricing?_ms=234&_msd=Skimbit&xid=78888
it is charged on your credit and not sure it will work with your IPAD but seems to be the only one that doesnt require monthly top up0 -

I think with GiffGaff you have to buy a Data Sim which starts at £5 per month.0 -
Not exactly what you are looking for but Three have a 90 day, 3 GB SIM that can be bought for around £15-£16Old dog but always delighted to learn new tricks!0
