Cheap SIM option for tablet

I've used Three prepaid 24GB data sims that can last 24 months max for years, in fact I activated a new one this afternoon! ~£35 from Amazon.

Just like my other Three sim for calls and texts, an old 3-2-1 which is now 10-15-35 I think, it suits my very light use from a live tracking cycling app and browsing when I can't use free WiFi.

If you need more data, the Three 25/50/80GB sims that renew each month looks a decent deal.

I just got back from my place in Portugal and I was equally as impressed. It worked perfectly. I activated it a few days before and the coverage where I was in the UK was great (its often pretty bad in the city around peak times so I was apprehensive) and it worked while travelling on the train too which was novel. I've just ordered another one for my second phone which has a giffgaff sim in it, saving about £90 and gaining roaming. Very glad this thread popped up.
 
1pMobile: Offers a Prepay PAYG plan where you pay 1p per minute, 1p per text, and 1p per MB of data. If you use very little data, this could be the absolute cheapest option
 
SMARTY are not bad for this if you're in an area with good 3 coverage; you can just buy a month when you want one no recurring costs.

Don't use their data only SIMs though; you seem to get better deals with their regular voice SIMs eg. £10 for 100GB of data for the month, whereas the data only SIM is £9 for only 15GB of data (or £13 for 40GB).
