I'm on 200 mins, 200 texts, unlimited meteor to meteor calls and texts and1gb data (for the month, which carries over to the next if you don't use it). €15.

yes - also interested in knowing if its possible to use a cheap data plan sim in an IPad 3G.

IPad sims are about 20 euros a month - so this would be quarter price. cap not an issue - even 500mb a month would be perfect.


Surely it cannot know? IPads are internally same as an IPhone.

Would you would need to keep some call credit on it though as well - to keep the sim alive - even though you will never use it I wonder?

I get unlimited calls and txts to any network and 2GB data a month with 48 for €18 a month best deal around.

I use a 3 microsim in the iPad works a treat on the €20 a month plan. Just need to top up each month to get AYCED.

For the extra 5er I get 15GB...and using my phone as a wireless hotspot means free internet on my table too. Depends on your needs I suppose, but 1GB just isn't enough for me.

What kind of contract is that though?

That a very misleading statement. The data offer with 48 ends at the end of April 2012.

From May 1 2012, 48 will charge a whooping 1 EUR per hour for internet.

Not really as thats what i'm getting now. Can't really comment on the internet time pricing will have to wait to see how that works out.

No contract just like PAYG just buy a membership every month.

I cant confirm this is definitely the case, just what I was told in Meteor.
A 3g data sim is apparently recognised as different to a phone sim by the Meteor network even though everything is internally same. Perhaps there may be a s/w or firmware way around this to make the tab appear to Meteor as a phone.
