Pay as you go with internet access?

JamesJon · 2 Apr 2011 at 23:55

Is anyone aware of a company that offers pay as you go (sim only) where internet access is also supported for devices like iphone/blackberry/android?

Thus far it seems no pay as you go with internet for iphone.

Data for iPhone? Just use a normal data sim card and cut it

T-Mobile gave me 12 months free internet with my PAYG iPhone 4, so I'm sure they'll offer it on PAYG sims

I got this with mine on Orange, 250MB a month for free on pay as you go. I don't get anywhere near to using that amount of bandwidth, but that's down to the speed of the mobile broadband here. 250MB wouldn't last me long on decent 3G!

When i first got my iohone i had to use o2 for a while. £10 top up a month and you get unlimited internet and texts. Make sure you get the right sim. Just ask for the micro sim

JamesJon · 3 Apr 2011 at 00:35

So it looks like £10 is the lowest you can get in order to have internet

Well I haven't topped my T-Mobile sim up lol, 6 months in and about 100GB of data downloaded with it (gotta love the fair use policy

)

I was told by the "experts" that only way to have interent on the iphone is on contract basis :confused:

T-mobile pay as you go here on my Android, £5 gets months internet access with a huge data allowance, and can still use it normally between 00.00-16.00hrs and just browsing between 16.00-00.00hrs if you exceed the fair usage policy before the end of the 30day period.

£20 will also buy 6 months internet.

That's because contracts get them commission...

That actually makes a 3G tablet almost worthwhile....

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/payg/boosters/

30-day internet Plus Booster £5.00 30 days internet access
6-month internet Plus Booster £20.00 6 months internet access

thats a micro sim for a ipad/iphone only, lots of network providers have special deals like that for a micro sim.

JamesJon · 3 Apr 2011 at 02:12

Unless am mistaken the one i showed you offers 12months of internet access for £10, isn't that right?
