BladHaund · **Data SIM for short (1 week) visit -** 07-03-2012, 23:44

Hello!

I'm looking for a data-enabled (ideally, data-only) SIM for a short visit - one week or so. I don't need a voice plan, as I have my own voice SIM and the roaming charges are acceptable for the volume of calls I anticipate. I won't be returning any time soon, so most likely I'll discard the data SIM after I leave.

I'll be using several 3G and WiFi enabled devices, therefore the best usage scenario is the one in which I use the portable hotspot function of my Android phone to share the connection. Alternatively, I could use the tethering function of an IPhone, but only if the carrier enables it.

Could you recommend a carrier and a SIM-only package, ideally one that doesn't frown upon tethering?

I'll be purchasing the SIM directly from UK, after I arrive.
