What is the best solution for temporary unlimited data?

Posted by Glad_Technology_8307@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 10 comments

Unfortunately I find myself temporarily living in hospital as I have a family member in intensive care. I have rinsed by 10gb data allowance and hospital WiFi is poor, this is all before I have started working again. Whats the best quick fix for this solution? I expect I'll need a solution for 2 - 3 months. Ideally unlimited data but at least 100gb required. I currently don't have a laptop with me but could probably change that. I am with EE but my fixed term is over. TIA.

Call EE, tell them your situation and ask what they can offer before you try anything else. The solution might be easier and cheaper than you imagine.

Looks like Lebara have 30 days for £12.50 from a quick look (I've been with them for a few years now and can't fault them). Failing that search on HotUKDeals.com or moneysavingexpert and you will see all the best options very quickly. Good luck.

First thing is to check coverage for that area with providers, see who has the best (should be able to check via ofcom -https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/mobile-coverage) Once checked, if you're not worried about speeds etc just find the cheapest brand who offers unlimited SIM, should be quite easy to sign up and get going. If you need a SIM quick you could pop to a local post office as sometimes they have Sims, just pick one up and look at getting the package you want assigned to that SIM. Hope that helps 👍

Figure out the network with the strongest signal in the area and get a prepaid SIM plan? \~20-30 quid a month would cover your needs. Best of luck to you both
