    No. You're far better (and cheaper) using paid wifi instead of mobile data.

    The data limits are a killer and so is the slow speed. Wifi is freely available almost everywhere if you are a BT or Fon customer. You can even get free wifi in some premium places like airports if you have Fon account.

    I rarely use my mobile data allowance as a result.

    Most tablets don't even have 3g. OP did not mention if the tablet has a SIM slot. Maybe it does not.
    If it does, Freedompop - £7 SIM and an everlasting 200MB free per month - might be worth considering, so long as you turn off all the paid and auto renewal options,
