Unlimited Internet Sim

Spamalot · 22 Oct 2013 at 10:31

Hi all,

I'm moving house at the moment and need an unlimited sim to use for a couple of months. I currently have an unlocked Huawei MiFi dongle that I use with a GiffGaff sim for when I'm away, that offers great speeds and flexibility. That is however limited to 3GB though so I need something more beefy.

Has anyone got any recommendations on a sim that will offer unlimited data without a fair use policy?

Thank you

Afaik you cannot have unlimited data sim for a dongle , You can tether for as much as you like using a phone but as soon as you place that sim in a dongle three will block it within hours.

So you can either get a three dongle sim 15 gb for £15 I think (30 day contract) or if you have a smartphone get the one plan which allows unlimited data+tethering.

Yea just get the one plan that allows tethering. And tether all day long.

Can you teacher with a dongle... If that makes sense?

Sonic suggests not but you could turn most modern smartphones into a wifi access point and tether through that instead of the mifi. Grab the one plan sim-o rolling 1 month and then job done. It would roughly look like:

INTERNETS >> 3G APN >> SmartPhone AP >> 802.11x >> other devices.

Keep the smartphone plugged in while doing this.

Any ideas why they would do this?
