Firstly let me apologise for asking what must have been asked many times before. Second, It's all new(ish) to me. My understanding of sim offers and pricings may be a little wanting. I've always used a works mobile previous to this.
I used my works mobile for the occasional personal phone call and text as well as work stuff. The firm I work for is absolutely fine with that... and still are. Personal use is minimal anyway. I also use it to download audio books from my synology nas. Possibly 5 or 6 audiobooks a week. Sometimes 10. So presumably a bit heavy on the data useage. Now the firm I work for I.T. dept have blocked access to my nas. File sharing concerns is what the automated message I get says. Ok, no worries. I understand they have to do this.
I am certain they are blocking it for the file transfer aspect rather than the actual data useage.
So now I'm going to join the real world, buy my own phone for personal use and pay for my own data use. I'm scared
I don't want to pay a fixed monthly sum of umpteen unbelievable pounds a month. I'd like to get a sim only deal along the lines of... I pay almost diddly squat monthly and if I don't use my allowance it rolls over and I accumulate rollover adfinitum..
Or I pay a fixed sum and get forever to use that data allowance, phone calls and texts.
I thought I saw a thread recently on overclockers which mentioned something along those lines.
Can anyone advise, please?
