    You say data only, seems to me most SIMs come with unlimited calls and texts because data is the main thing that people use, in differing amounts; I guess you need some idea of how much data this doorbell is going to use.

    I've found 1pMobile to be very good so you could consider them and once you know how much data is being used, set up a recurring "boost" of data each month. They use the EE network.
    Do you know if the top up can be used for data boost or is this for calls only ?
    You can buy boosts (from your topup) that provide data only, the smallest of which is 4gb for £6. The bigger boosts all come with unlimited calls and texts and go up to 200gb for £20 with 25gb for £10. As you can see, the data gets massively cheaper the more you buy and the boosts last a month.

    ... but if you're going to do that, a 1-month rolling contract will be much cheaper than PAYG.
    eg. 30GB/mo for £8/mo, 70GB/mo for £10/mo, unlimited for £16/mo are currently available.
