Having acquired an android tab with a mobile SIM
as here:
https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/recommend-a-7-inch-android-tab.280441/
I'm now looking for a provider which does one-off data only sim packages with no monthly renewal. Lasting 90 days or ideally a year with no requirement to top up during that time - for that's a disguised sub of course. Ideally the data bought wouldn't be chopped off until used but am pretty sure such things don't exist.
Will be mainly used when cycle touring and various UK wanderings - am a very light mobile data user - don't use social media (and before anyone jumps in about cyclechat I won't be posting to cyclechat over a mobile link - I'll be mobile/seeing stuff)
I use a separate dumb phone for voice/potential emergency calls.
Since I'm such a low user, an uber cheap very low data thingie would be fine for me but they don't seem to really exist - but maybe you folks know better.
In the past the three 1-2-3 set-up would have been fine for casual data but it has been discontinued.
Can see myself having to go with O2 for their apparently good coverage - though even they also seem to have lots of blank spots - Bowland, Yorkshire Dales etc.
