Any recomendations? Would like as much data for as little money as possible I think! And I don't want a contract either

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Giffgaff are quite good, runs on O2 network, can get 2 gig of data a month for £10 plus some calls and texts. You can monitor your usage and adjust your next months allocation accordingly

I went with EE, been happy with service so far. They do boosts so that every few top ups you can add extra data.

Currently get 4GB,500min and unlimited text for £15

Edit... Though this looks good

Giffgaff £20/ month unlimited txt always on unlimited data, 5000 minutes

Surely you ned to find what's the best reception in your area. I can get a better deal than I have but only o2 can give me a signal at my lock up.

Got my lad a sim only deal last month with ID (carphone warehouse) it's on the 3 network which so far seems ok. Anyhoo it's costing me £15 a month for 2000 mins , 5000 texts and 6 gig of data.

Giffgaff by far. I only use my phone for calls and texts and pay £5 a month. £10 or £15 gets you a stack of data on top of that. Service and signal has been really good. Was on EE before and they were utterly shocking on price and signal. Never again.

BT keep doing offers if you have broadband with them.

Current one is £16 per for 15Gb then unlimited calls and txt plus a £80 Amazon voucher.

I've been with Three for years. Currently £20 gets unlimited data, free tethering, some minutes (can't remember, I hardly use the phone) unlimited texts and free data roaming in lots of other countries. I was on O2 before and I reckon Three have better coverage.

I'm on the same Three deal as Peter there by the looks of it. No complaints about the content but coverage can be patchy in some areas (certainly compared to my wife who's on EE).

And on top of that you can get about £70 cashback through Topcashback if you use it.
I'll be signing up for this when my PAC code arrives, hopefully tomorrow 😀

I had the same arrangement as this for an alarm and regretted it when GiffGaff cut off the number and appropriated all of the credit on the account because the sim hadn't made any calls for 6 months.
Had a waterproof phone for wet days out on the bike or canoe that had the same thing happen to it's GiffGaff sim which was a massive pain when I needed to use the phone.
Not a big fan of GiffGaff.....

three is good for me, payg is pretty cheap and the add-ons are useful for data-heavy times away from domestic internet. Currently abroad in the USA, on a 20 quid add-on for 12GB data (and lots of mins, texts)! Mind you the connection is not fast. But you can't get a deal like that on any prepay/payg USA sim, at least I couldn't find anything close. 25 quid gets you unlimited data in teh UK (used to be 15 quid which was an absolute steal) - this is no-contract stuff, contracts are of course cheaper rates but with a longer committment.

Chances are it'll be refused due to already getting 2 offers but worth a punt.

Id heard of this from someone with a similar set up, so deliberately trigger an alarm state periodically, it also tests that im recieving the notifications

As per usual I'll recommend Virgin.

£10 per month, 2gb- 2500 minutes and unlimited texts. 30 day contact.

They use EE's network.

I've managed to get that deal for £8, think it was on offer.

Another vote for giffgaff. Whole family are on it now, free calls to other giffgaff numbers is a bonus too.
