Hi Tony<br>
When you select your network from the list, you do need to select the<br>
correct plan, otherwise you could be charged at the wrong rate. Most of<br>
my experience is with T-Mobile, where there is only one choice.<br>

Phil<br></blockquote></div><br>Plan is TopUp and Go. Its pre-paid at £15 per 1GB. I will have to top up when it runs out. Advantage of this particular plan is that you can take a long as you like to use up the data allowance, provided you make use of it at least once every 180 days. I don't think you can get this plan now but I managed to find old stock in a Tesco store. It is probably the phone number that actually identifies the precise terms of the plan.<br>
