Data Sims - How are they different ?

Hiya Everybody,

I've just got myself a Huawei E5332 mi-fi thingy. Comes locked to T-Mobile but am sorting that out via eBay.

As this is mainly for use away from home, I am going for a PAYG SIM. And I am getting somewhat confused - especially after a visit to CarPhoneWarehouse. I am not going to go into the whole story. Lets just say he wouldn't admit that PAYG SIMS existed until I told him I was going to Tescos as they had them. Anyhow, I digress.

When I look at GiffGaff, for example, they offer talk/text/data packages and Data packages.

My question is this. Is there such a thing as a DATA SIM, or is it just a DATA package on any old SIM ? In other words, is a DATA SIM somehow different?

Many thanks in advance.
Lin W
