have started buying the £25 for 12Gb PAYG sims. some months I use loads of data others I use nothing so a contract over the year would be more expensive. These PAYG sims have a 12month life from activation.I needed to upgrade from my 5gb monthly plan for £8 pm and enquired in 3 shop and they're offering 20gb for £14 on a 24 month contract.
So I phoned 3 and got 20gb for £13 on a 12month contract as a valued customer
I usually buy the 3 12GB for about the same price and have found them to be everything I expected so very pleased .however coming back to EE I can only get it to be of any use in the UK . I tried using it as a backup while in France and although connecting to data it wouldn't let me use it .so I must be doing something wrong. RoyI

Although I am about to start testing EE 4G data in a few places I frequent. If i can get 4g at a good speed I will probably sign up for the EE 50GB data plan for £30 a month. Then I could forget about looking for WiFi quite so often.

Yes, not very often have much left, with 2 of us using it.Did you aways use all of the 5GB?
Can anyone confirm if the '3' 12gb sim needs to be activated in the UK before use in France?
I'm thinking of getting a MiFi plus a couple of sims for our longer trips.
I already have a monthly phone contract with 3 but I can't tether when abroad and after 4 weeks continuous use in a 'Feel at Home' country they cut your data off. That plan had to be active in the UK for 30 days before use abroad.
Richard.
We're now in Spain with it working brilliantly, I know it might cut off in 2 months so I'll send the sim card to friends in the uk to use it for a few calls then have another 2 months after the new year probably now though as I know it's 2 months in any one year.
Plus I only get 12 gb out of the uk but I usually don't use that much anyway.

A couple of questions.I

A couple of questions.
Do you know if there is a time limit for activation? With ordinary PAYG sims if not activated in a certain time they reallocate the number and they are unusable.
Will a data sim work OK in a phone? I can't see why not, I have a dual sim phone and you can set each sim for whatever services you want.
Correct, same with data, 2 Months in any one year.Don't know about data but with the phone when they cut you off after 2 months then it cannot be used 'roaming' for another 12 clear months . I asked the qusetion when they cut both mine last year. They work again in UK .
I heard that before, surely you get a warning text or something 1st.Also beware if you get cut off on the feel at home after 2 months and the go back to Europe with the sim in a phone, they will cancel your sim and number will be gone.

Have a look at my posting #16 on this thread:I can't find the PAYG 4G Trio Data SIM Pack on the 3 website, only on my memory. Don't 3 do it any more??

You get 24gb of preloaded data allowance on it, that lasts up to 24 months, or until you've used the data, whichever comes first. You're not restricted to just 1gb per month, you can use it all in one month if you want!MINXY the 24g from Amazon,does it work the same as the 12g 12 monrh one from 3 or is it 24 x lg per month as ive seen mentioned.do we have to activate these in the UK? Ta
If you're only going for a month do you really need that much data????Thank you ill get a couple as im off to Spain for a month,already got 12gb in my pad and a12gb for mi fi but that one hasnt been activated yet.ta
Right ... I suggest you use one sim only and link all items to it rather than having one in each piece of kit, that way you'll use one sim up at a time - due to them having a '2 month' use abroad limit (it's not that simple, and is actually a lot more if you manage it right though!) you won't then end up with 3 activated sims which after 2 complete months' use abroad you can't use abroad again.Got frequent traveller on tunnel and only live 15 mins from dover so will be pver there alot and will hopefully use ipad for a bit of tv etc 2x iphone and 2x ipad haha

Just check that again. It's 2 months in a rolling 12 month period as far as I remember. And, you don't need to send the SIM home, it's 2 months continuous use. I took it out of our MiFi for one day last time in Spain and they didn't cut me off in three months use.I was paying £20 a month for around 5gb so saw an offer in a store for a years contract £10 for the first 6 months then £20 for the next 6 months for 30gb.
I've been on it for 3 months now and saving £60 overt the year with lots more data.
