You can get pay as you go ones.

[blackie_2k5]

can buy my vodfone dongle if you want? and just get a pay as you go sim

[AdamB]

People at work use them as pay as you go. Means if you don't use it for months then it's not costing you

Really depends where your going but most places in the UK mobile internet is a bit slow. Also if your watching videos you quickly use a lot of data. I would tend to recommend using your phone. Most smart phones you can turn in to mobile wifi spots these days. Windows phone, Android, Apple they all do it. So if you have a mobile already it may work out cheaper just to add some data allowance to that. Orange, Tmobile, EE tend to be the best for data.

Also if you know any one who has BT interenet and they dont use there Openzone/FON/BTwifi you can always ask nicely and see if you can use it. It is much Much MUCH faster then any mobile internet and if your in a residential area its normally good. You get unlimited with this and its quick enough to watch movies for the most part.

As said if you've got a Samsung you can make it in to a WiFi hotspot and just use that.

had a three one for ages when I was moving a lot, it worked fine.

Could stream skysports ok and everything.

only problem was it used a lot of data.
