Best PAYG sim-only deal which includes a non-expiring data allowance

Victor_Delta

I use my mobile very little for mobile network calls and so am currently on 3's PAYG sim. However it charges 5p per MB for data use.

Occasionally, when I'm out, I receive what can be lengthy What's App video calls from family members which, of course, wipe out all my credit! I have thought about data add-ons but these seem to have limited life. Does anyone know of a network PAYG sim which has a data allowance that doesn't expire after a set time. Thanks.

3's Data Reward sim is 1p/MB. So is 1p Mobile.You can up the allowance for cheaper but will be time-limited or will be PAYM.

Also comes with 200MB data free per month.

Surely 3's Data Reward sim is a data only sim so not really suitable for a phone?

"Goodybags" are bundles that last a month.

Works just fine as a "normal" PAYG sim. Comes with mobile phone number. I have  one in a spare phone, rates are 3p/call, 2p/text, 1p/MB. Search on here (and elsewhere) for more info.

The only downside is top up/bundles (or whatever the 3 name for them is) are expensive, so only suitable for low PAYG usage, and can't easily be boosted for a month.

Plus you don’t get a voicemail service either I believe…

Iv had the three data reward sim since 2017. Its true, on the website it is expensive,but dial 444 go to add ons and you get the proper payg value bundles

Take a look at 1p Mobile's Ts and Cs - 3a - TOP-UP REQUIREMENT

"Our 1pMobile service is subject to a minimum spend of £2.50 every 30 days. If your actual spend during any 30-day billing period falls below £2.50, we will deduct the shortfall from the credit balance on your account; your billing period runs on a 30-day cycle from the Commencement Date."    etc...

Much less attractive for low usage.

Thanks for that.
