iPad sim deals
« on: 27 March 2012, 22:10 »
I got the new iPad- I didn't realise I had to pay each month for the 3G

So what's the best deals?

I don't think I'd take it out the house but I'm away for the next 2 weeks so need 3G :/

Doesn't your smart phone do wireless tethering?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Check out giffgaff, its pretty cheap, but you'll struggle to get more than 1-3gb on most plans.

As long as your not streaming music/vids, then 1gb will be more than enough for browsing

Its only for brousing so 1gb will be plenty - £7.50 per month

If you're maxing out your data allowance on iPad or iPhone, try the Onavo app. It compresses all the data you download or send to/from your iPad/iPhone and means you use alot less of your network data allowance.

Heard about this from an IT support guy at work.
