    Hiya.

    Looking for the above as a gift for someone. I have no clue whatsoever about these devices so am completely useless when it comes to which one to get. Any recommendations please post here. Budget probably no more than €50 or €60 if possible.

    The cheapest 4G addon board ( HAT ) for the Pi seems to be
    this @ Amazon for 26.11 sterling. Obviously you would need a Pi also for around 30 sterling for an older model.

    I'd go with that too. Also, for it to work you'll need a sim card. Maybe get a cheap tesco mobile pay as you go SIM and 5 euro of credit, so the recipient can get it up and running straight away.
