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?1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: £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.

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
