as per title,
am thinking going sim only.
I know that Voda charges when you go over data limit, Tmobile caps data...what about o2 ? orange ? virgin ?
All info welcome

Will try to get good deal from Tmobile as they are my operator...
dont need much...600min, 500-600txt and at least 1gb but am used to 3gb

Is this PAYG or PAYM? T-M doesn't cap but restricts to http and few other ports/protocols only so anything using a http based API will be fine (facebook et al)

Three's The One plan (pay montly, 1 month rolling) is un-FUPed and allows tethering, Skype and most things, I believe. I'm switching to it myself as soon as I can reach somebody who actually understands that it's not a 12-month contract...

Will wait until Nexus Prime goes public and will be available for purchase to see for how much I will be able to get it on contact .

My Desire HD with line rental was something like £540 so will wait and see

Yep, moved to them and it's worth it even though coverage is only average. Doesn't come close to three. But now I use catchuptv a fair bit. It eats through the data.

They are now offering data only bundles for tablets, buts it's a rubbish deal
