Does anyone use a 3g ipad, if do what data sim do you use? I can tether with my phone but offically it’s not allowed. Could I just buy a data only sim from giffgaff or the like & use it in an old phone to provide a wi-fi hotspot. Would prefer PAYG or a goody bag type of thing rather than a contract as usage would be fairly small on 3g.Alternative is to pay up for the 3g ipad rather than wi-fi only. If I could easily tether then I would probably get the Nexus 10 anyway.

A Giffgaff data SIM would do the job just fine
Ther are some cheap [fixed data amount] 3 SIMS on Amazon

I tether on my £13 a month unlimited data phone contract with 3.

If data usage will be fairly small then http://www.sambamobile.com is worth a look. They use the 3 network. Have one in the missus Xoom for occasional use, usually tether to our phones but this gives an alternative network (phones on EE).

jota, Is that used directly in the ipad?

Either/or – I would have thought
