The "Essential Internet SIM 200" at £6.90 per month (1 year contract) looks good to me. I wonder if this will force giffgaff to get a bit more competitive.

Am I right in thinking these All You Can Eat data plans still don't include tethering unless you get The One Plan?

[neonplanet40]

Why? Sure it only has 500mb limit.

Correct

depends if they bill per sec, with giffgaff you could lose so much talktime when it goes to answer phones of people you have called.

One thing I miss from the UK, is the dirt cheap cost of mobile networks (not sarcasm).

£18 in Japan buys you (from the cheapest, and little known* virtual network) 32.5min and unlimited data @ 100kbps.

* Most Japanese I know consider it normal to pay £48-56 per month on their mobile contract.

It's a good start, unlimited for £10 like giffgaff might have tempted me to give it a go.

[Jude188]

Maybe giffgaff will undercut? Or add more minutes?

[Brewster0101]

For only £10 get 250 UK minutes, unlimited UK texts and unlimited mobile Internet for one month. Plus, you will still benefit from our free giffgaff to giffgaff calls and texts on top of that.

From the GiffGaff web site - Three is still over priced...
