Does anybody know of a company that offers a data only contract. I have a small Pay-as-you-go phone which I keep for emergency use only (i have spent £15.00 in the last 4 years) and so many of the deals on TV say load down an App on your mobile phone..

Just choose the cheapest contract for the data you need as that's what drives the price. Texts and calls are generally unlimited anyway.
What sort of app is it that you want to download onto your phone?0 -
Why do you need data only for 'emergency use'?No free lunch, and no free laptop0

OP what phone is it - really needs to be a smartphone to take advantage of the apps. You can just PAYG data like you do for your calls now although not usually the cheapest option. If you have wi-fi at home, then your phone can connect to that, so you don't need mobile data anyway.0
