Non-Expiring PAYG Data SIM for iPad Air

tonymc

Hi,

Apologies if in the wrong section.

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a PAYG SIM that has no expiry on data usage. I would only be making limited use of the plan, namely when travelling on the train, and as such I wouldn't want to be tied to paying for a 30 day contract that would result in losing the unused data at the end of the month.

Have looked at the 3 1-2-3 SIM but I understand this is only for phones (would have been ideal if otherwise)!!

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't think there is one for ipads. You can use three 321 on tablets which three consider phones like the asus fonepad, but that isn't useful to you.

One option if you only use only a little data per day (ie. don't watch video) you could use giffgaff payg sim (without goodbags) and just pay 20p for upto 20Mb per day. If you go over 20Mb in a day the cost per Mb is 20p. So you basically only use up your payg credit only on days you use mobile data. Even still you need to use it once every 6 months to keep sim active.

Sainsburys have similar but more expensive 25Mb for 50p, then 50p/Mb. Virgin £1 for 100Mb. There might be better similar deals for low usage on other networks.

This is a good summary website

Thanks for that. I did find an EE PAYG Data SIM at Currys for 1p with 200mb data, so will give that a try to see how well it performs whilst I am travelling.
