PAYG Data info

Hi All,
Currently on Tesco PAYG Lite tariff which for my use is fine.
Would like to add a data bundle but cannot find any network that allows you to rollover any unused data, till in effect you've used it up and then top up as you would with your calls and texts.
Are there any out there that allows this.

Thanks

    If there was I expect we would have heard by now.
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    Switch to Three '3-2-1' and 500Mb will cost you £5 on pure PAYG without any bundles.

    Thanks for that grumbler but on checking 3 coverage where I live there is no 3g coverage, and that 3 have discontinued 2g services, not using Orange anymore to enable a service.

    Back to square 1 I'm afraid.

    Did you check Tesco or Lyca?

    The OP seems to be asking for a contradiction in terms.

    By definition, a PAYG bundle is a certain allowance of minutes, texts, data or most commonly a combination of all three which lasts for a period (typically a month) and then expires with all unused calls/texts/data lost.

    If you don't buy a bundle, then you just pay for the minutes, texts, data that you've actually used and you don't need to top up again until you've spent your credit. The the credit never expires as long as you keep the sim active (typically by making a single call or text every few months).

    They are two separate things.

    So are you looking for a bundle or a you looking for a PAYG provider with cheap data (like 3:2:1) but on a different network?

    The closest thing is a sim with some preloaded amount of data, but I think typically it's data only and you have to buy a new sim after using the 'bundle'.

    100MB 4G Data Every Month - Free For Life @ EE £5.00 is worth looking at, but the calls and texts costs are likely to be exorbitant in comparison to Tesco Lite.
