Thanks all. On my phone so will so will so a proper reply later.

Can't be a contract. Already have free business work phone. Trying to blag unlimited data on that to tether. Need it for VPNing, yes I know it will be crap, but it's as a backup for when I'm on call. Also needed for general web use

As you dont want a contract its 3 quid a month extra, but 3/4G tetherd on the One Plan with a mobile seems to make a lot more sense than a dongle.  Plus you get the text and phone calls

Well did the rounds in Kingston town centre yesterday, Three,Voda,o2,EE,Phones4u ect, all their data plans, be it dongle, SIM only rolling contract ect, I thought were all mega expensive for what they are.

Maybe having my free work phone for last 4 years has adjusted my view, but even few years ago I was on better deals  :-\

Decided instead to upgrade to full broadband inside the flat we are staying, crunching the numbers, this will be far cheaper and much much faster!

Just need to get permission from the owners, aka MrsT's parents  :)

Can anyone recommend a WiFi 3G dongle, that is PAYG but with decent download limit? Like 5gb or even unlimited?

Thought the idea of the post was to go PAYG and not go down a Contract Route.   ::) :)

Turns out contract cancelation costs, are less than PAYG... I can subscribe for couple of months, take the cancel hit and still be better off that PAY solutions offered.

Also on the blag at work for unlimited data on my works phone :)

Fair enough, maybe you could do a deal with them, they give you unlimited data and you stop stuffing there free doughnuts.  ;D

deal done, not quite unlimited but got both my iPad and iPhone SIMS upgraded with a shed load of data.

Tested VPN'ing in via WiFi hotspot on the iPhone, works well enough for me. So won't bother now to do anything permanent  :)

Probably burning most of them off, whilst running about looking for free WiFi Hotspots,  ;)
