Help - UK Mobile broadband SIMs

opus25

Hello all,

I'll be back in the UK for around 3 weeks soon and want to get mobile broadband to stay connected. Ideally, it's just a data SIM that can go in my phone (5s) that I can then tether (sneakily?) to my laptop.

Can anyone recommend a decent deal? Not sure how much I'll need but obviously more GBs for less GBPs is the order of the day.

Thank you!

Don't iPhones bar tethering?

3 is probably your best bet

No, I regularly do it on my o2 account.

why don't you just get a dongle?

Some years ago, providers used to frown on it and I can remember having to request it from Orange to be enable.

Nowadays what you you do with your data usage is up to you as long as it is legal.

I do it all the time when I am abroad.

3 dont let you tether.

You can get away with it for a while normally before they notice though.

3 are a bit backward it would seem, EE and Orange never have a problem AFAIK

I know, dont understand what difference it makes how you use your unlimited data, especially as three sell it as truly unlimited.

This is 3 telling you you have unlimited data, but basically not letting you use it. We'll give it to you, but by god, you better not use it.

Anything mobile related is horrible.
