Im going to the UK on Wednesday for 2 weeks and I want to use my N95 for internet 3G etc. I imagine "pay as you go" is the way forward but with which service provider. On previous occasions I went with Vodafone, but the data rate was very high....any other ideas.
 
I went with Virgin when I was there last, the rates seemed reasonable. Just be aware of the 3g the rates when I was there they were through the roof for me it cost about R40 per meg and I inquired about a bundle and there really wasn't anything viable, especially for a short duration.
 
I think T-Mobile's Web-N-Walk is the best, not sure if it's available to pre-paid.
 
It appears that 3 UK is also running a promotion on prepaid USB modems if that's of any interest. You should be able to get the Huawei E220 unlocked over here for ~R120 - not sure about the E169G and the ZTE MF622.

I used T-Mobile prepaid. £5 of airtime gets you a free SIM, load and go PLUS they had an offer with your first 10 days of Web 'n Walk free! Just don't load a data bundle until that's used up like I did, otherwise it's gone.
