I'm looking for a data sim for use while away in the MH in the UK.
Only for Internet/WhatsApp etc, on two mobile phones/tablets.
PAYG with option to cancel any time, and as cheap as possible.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks.
 
We have a Smarty Sim ......mainly for use in the winter months when we are out and Mrs want's Netflix and stuff in the long evenings.... we opted for the Unlimited at £20 but there are other cheaper Smarty deals which like ours are month at a time...so you can use one month say then hold it until you need it again... We have satellite too for TV but obvs the streaming services are not on there....... Safe Travels and I am sure others will pop up with information on other providers

Thanks for the tip.

Just ordered the 30gb sim - doubled up to 60gb for 12 months, for £10 per month.
That should keep Mrs L happy !

I am getting more confused the more that I read.
I have had Motorhome Wi-Fi fitted, now is the time to buy a sim plan Prior to setting off the France.
Do I need a Data only plan or one with minutes and texts? Another question is will I still get incoming calls on my phone via Wi-Fi when I am within range of the Motorhome Wi-Fi. I’m thinking of Tesco or Smarty sim asI don’t think either have roaming charges.
Thanks for an advice.

I like GiffGaff for 30 day data bundles and can leave 3 months without topping up again if not needed. App on phone allows purchase of next bundle at whatever size you need within minutes.

Motorhome WIFI helps to grab weak WIFI signals.
Motorhomw MIFI requires a simm and your little box is the link to the phone network and you all sign in to that WIFI, created by your MIFI.

Flipping confusing language isn't it.

I ignore DATA only simms as normal phone simms with data seem to be a lot cheaper. Most UK simms will be capped when out of the country.
Prsonally use GiffGaff (O2) as no contract or I know others buy a local simm card in the country they visit.
 
i'm still using a 3 three 24month data sim, are they still available for the very occassional user
