Data plan or voice and data - unlimited
If the unlimited data SIM is £20 per month and the unlimited data plus voice and text, is £15 (current offer) is there any reason not to go for the cheaper voice and data plan to use for data modem/router in the UK and as a roaming SIM when travelling in the EU? Is there a difference in the T&Cs?2KViews0likes1CommentFavourite router?
What are folks' favourite routers for use with a Smarty data SIM? I will need one for a few weeks. I don't want to spend a fortune but want something that will set up easily and maintain a signal. Brand? Price/performance? Easy of set up and reliability of connection?1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: £18 Unlimited data sim
Ah thanks. My main phone is on a legacy out of contract package with a largEE (😉) provider, which still has EU roaming but is no longer competitive. So I may transfer to Smarty. I have a second backup phone with a cheap Smarty package, so the model you suggest is interesting.11KViews0likes2CommentsRe: £18 Unlimited data sim
Thanks. Pasted in for reference. Seems it is uncapped. I would use occasionally for voice and SMS anyway, and only one connected device so would probably not cause concern! 5.16 Our Unlimited Voice Plans are for personal, non-commercial use only and can be used in SIM enabled mobile devices, tablets laptops and portable mobile WI-FI devices and the data is uncapped for this use. This SIM card should not be used as a permanent long-term alternative to home broadband. If we determine in our sole opinion that your use of the SMARTY Services is in breach of these Terms and Conditions and/or exceeds that reasonably expected of someone using the Service for legitimate personal, non-commercial use, then we may at our discretion terminate (in accordance with Section 9), or Suspend (in accordance with Section 8), or restrict your SMARTY Service. As an example, without limitation, we consider that if you regularly tether more than 8 devices that this is unlikely to be legitimate personal, non-commercial use.11KViews0likes4CommentsRe: £18 Unlimited data sim
So is there a "fair use policy" on the data-only SIM? Is that actually the difference? Yes, I appreciate the mobile Internet won't be as reliable but it is an interim solution until I know where I am living and then I'll sign up for broadband or even fibre to the premises 😉11KViews0likes6Comments
