Hi, I have just got an ipad 2 and need the micro sim, can anyone tell me the best place to get one of these or the best data plan to go on, it is a 3g + wifi, thanks

If you want one of the "3" ones you can get one from my place (free), if you want a different network then you can have one of those as well but you'll have to call the network to say that you're using it on an iPad (or just add a web & walk bolt on) and we can use a sim cutter on it (also free).

Depend's on how much data you use, you can get 3 mobile sims for 90 days with 3gb for £10-12 off ebay.I use these then bin the sim after 90 days cheaper than topping up.Or there's one called freedom talk on ebay for £13 for 9gb 3gb a month(£30 usually),use's 3 network.Had no problem with 3 but ordered a freedom talk sim, Haven't used freedom talk yet just waiting for my 3 sim to run out,so don't know if there good or bad.

Hi I got a sim foc from O2 shop
These dont have a contract and you only pay £2 a day for when you use it.
So if you use the wifi - which is quicker and only use the 3G when out and about then this is the better option than a rolling contract

At £60.00 a month a contract is cheaper- £25.00 from Three.

But if you rarely use it and are mainly on WiFi the odd day at £2 doesn't matter, especially as the usage limits for a day are much better than buying a month.

GiffGaff with a £5 a month data package is the best though, just don't tell them that it's being used in a iPad and not a phone.
