    I have actually used the T mobile packs as it happens.

    I think I paid about £9 for one, which came with £7 credit for calls. (if it may have been the other way round)
    I got 12 months free internet out of it and the credit used for calls.

    Then in April'13 my dad purchased one off ebay for £16 (with £5 credit on it for calls). He got 12 months of internet out of it too.

    £11 prity good price for 12 months internet.

    T mobile seamed to have stopped the offer I guess. or maybe the old sims still qualify for it (and hence why those sims are now £50 on ebay)

    The offers of which you write are long gone. An example would have been T-Mobile iPhone SIMs with 12 Months of Internet.

    The packs now on eBay are completely unrelated and usually refer to SIM with the Six Month Internet Booster applied. Hence the price.

    I don't think they are completly unrelated

    You used to TXT 12MONTHWEB (or similar) on the 12 month ones (and it used no credit)

    On these you TXT 6MONTHWEB (and yes now uses credit)

    So they are unrelated....

    One was a free offer(example here) and now there is no free offer. Stop wasting time with the posting of irrelevancies.

    The free offers are long gone. I know about them, as I used to utilise them.

    How much does your EE link cost a year?

    with the EE SIM option, you get 2GB per month for £60 per annum.

    With the T Mobile 6 month option its £36. Nearly half the price! The MSE way! (ok 500MB per month)

    I therefore think it was worth discussing!

    Bear in mind what the OP wanted. Low usage and hassle free.

    I recently bought a mobile router to use with my tablet and am now looking for a suitable pay as you go sim which, rather like my mobile phone, does not require me to make monthly payments .As I would be rarely using it, I dont wish to make such regular payments so I would be grateful for any suggestions.On my phone I just top up as and when I run out of funds and not on a monthly basis.Any suggestions?


    T Mobile. Only £16 for the first 6 months.

    so that's £72 a year for 500MB per month compared with the EE SIM option of 2GB per month for £60 per annum.

    so hows that half the price. to me it looks like it costs you £12 more for 1/4 the data
