Hi. Anyone recommend which UK network to go with when I fit a sim into my new Superb which is being built next week? It will only get occasional emergency use for voice/texts and will need to be cheap when used driving in France/Belgium.

A friend suggested PAYG on Three as you can use your inclusive voice/data/texts abroad at no extra cost ( by using an add on that last 30 days ) any any normal, non add-on, credit remains usable for up to 6 months, doesn't get wiped after 30 days. Anyone know of any better deals?

What size sim I will need in the MkIII Superb?

TIA.

It's a standard size SIM for the Superb. I've got a Three PAYG pre loaded with 12GB of data on it. The SIM from Three is a Trio sim that can be adapted for devices with different sized slots.

No need to mess about with it though as the full size bit fits straight in.

Got a Tesco 1GB/month 4G data only SIM in mine.

I guess you'd have to watch out for tethering restrictions that come with some data packages?

I have an EE Data Sim, 1 Gig / PM £10

3 changed their tethering limits from June 2015, typically just before I signed up with AYCE texts, calls and data. (iirc it went from 4Gb to 2Gb).

Have you considered a wifi dongle contract? I get 15Gb on a Mifi for £8.70 a month with 3, which I can connect up to five devices.

4G hasn't quite reached my area yet, but to upgrade I just buy a 4G compatible dongle/mifi and away I go.

And I can use it in selected countries abroad at no extra cost.

Are these are the Columbus unit only ?

I hadn't realised the tariff had gone up to £15.I've had my tariff for nearly 10 years so qualify for various loyalty discounts, hence £8.50.
