Data only sim

textbook

Got a tablet and want to get a  data only sim to use it on the go. Is Lebara  the cheapest option?

savergrant

Any idea how much data you need?
Rwg do some good one-off payments which gives you a monthly allowance for a year, two, or even five years. But you may want to try a sim for £1 first. Runs on ee.

It all depends on the mobile phone signal that you get in your location.

Lebara run on the Vodafone network.

Can you use a sim which offers calls and texts for data only in tablet for playing games etc?

looking at my tablet - should it have a slot to put the sim card?  I can only see a slot for memory card?  Mine's a Acer dsg model no.  ACTAB1022

A quick search came up with curry's website, product info suggests wifi only not 4g/5g so you would need another device to create a WiFi hotspot unless you are at home or in public WiFi.
