Hi,
Do any providers do a data sim that comes with xGB of data that doesn't expire, until the data is used up ?
I'd like to try 5G in my local area, but don't want to pay a recurring monthly fee.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

£20 to check 3 unlim data MVNO for 30days superdrugmobile.com/our…lan
(Very easy to switch 3 APN if you want to mimic data sim / bypass adult filtering when using 3 handset sim.)
Check Voda via Voxi at £10 / 30GB 30days + other options voxi.co.uk/sim…ans
or via Lebara unlim data under £10 30days hotukdeals.com/dea…856
although some may say that non-direct-Voda MVNO has less priority / greater contention than Voda/Voxi itself.
Net neutrality regulations states (paraphrase) you can use a handset sim in a non-handset device,
although o2 still chooses to state non-compliance / flout.
So why not just order a SIM and give it ago smarty.co.uk/
The other option is to get one of the SIMs like o2 Classic pay as you go. 3p a minute. 2p a text. 1p a megabyte. If not using much data then it will just charge per megabyte as and when you use it. And not disappear after a month.
And finally. This does expire but it’s cheap. Lyca have their 1p a month 5G SIM card for the first 6 months and you can cancel anytime. It’s so cheap that I had to mention it as it may be a better option than paying stupid amounts for the likes of the above 24GB SIM.
For that I get 12GB of data per month and unlimited calls and texts.
But I pop it into a mifi dongle and it acts as a backup should the public wifi go down at the weekly computer club I attend. The dongle is shared with others at the club, but touch wood we have never exceeded the 12GB monthly limit. But I do carefully monitor the usage.
I had a similar deal with Lebara before this current one, and hopefully there will be a new deal when this deal expires.
Unfortunealtey I've not seen anything suitable from them.

Just to see if it's worth looking at getting a 5G contract or not.
