    I think there is no the *best* deal for everyone.
    It depends on the amount of data you need.
    Unlimited data is 0p/Mb, but ~£15/month.
    1Mb costs just 1p on PAYG.

    Hi well I've heard of a samba sim. I would only need to use the data occasionally when away from the home. What do you think of that please.

    I think you'll find much more information/feedback at HUKD.

    PCWorld sell 30 day/1GB sims for £5. Once they expire, if you still need data put another in




    Argos used to sell 250MB/30 day Vodafone ones but think they stopped doing them at last catalog change.

    Look on Amazon or eBay, there are 90 day sims available for £15-20.

    The EE one is 3G/4G and has a 6GB allowance, the 3UK one is 3G (possibly 4G if you can find coverage and the data sims are enabled for 4G) and has a 3GB allowance.

    I've just got a Samba sim (do a search on Amazon / eBay & you can get one for £2.50).

    You can either pay £3.50 for 250mb, £5 for 500mb or £9 for 1Gb each last for 30 days. The other option which I'm doing is watch the adverts and get about 3.5mb per advert, I started 3 days ago and have over 300mb this doesn't expire after 30 days. If I can get to about 1Gb that should do me for a while.

    It runs on the '3' network so make sure it works in your area, I'm getting 10mb download speed; but I have noticed that I've used 47mb and all I've done is 3 speed tests, which I wouldn't of thought would use that amount of data, so Samba could use more data than you'd expect so I may try to get to 3Gb.

    There is a company called Now who I believe do 2GB bundle for £10 per month.


    Samba is a good one because you can buy 1GB for £9 or you can pay £5 for 500MB


    And if you are prepared to watch their ads you might get away with paying nothing for low usage.

    Don't know if it will still work but I got a Samba sim recently for £1 by using the promo code CAR22.
