Mobile Broadband Guide

30 day mobile broadband

If you don’t want to sign a long mobile broadband contract, there is a range of 30 day plans that will get you connected with minimum commitment.

Mobile broadband allows you to use the internet on the go. Using the mobile phone network, your USB dongle will connect you to the 3G network, allowing you to get online wherever you have a signal - with around 90% of the UK covered.

Which 30 day contract is right for me?

The differences between pay monthly mobile broadband offers are mainly centred around download limits and you can pay anything around £5 to £30 a month depending on how much data you want.

Download limits for 30 day mobile broadband packages are normally either 3GB or 5GB, but can be as much as 10GB. Some providers will allow you to buy data add-ons if you exceed your allowance, but others will simply charge you an out of bundle rate - which can soon add up.

As with all mobile broadband contracts, you need to be careful not to exceed your monthly download allowance as out of bundle costs can range from 1.96p per MB to a massive 19.6p per MB. Check your mobile broadband account regularly to see how much data you’ve used, or install our free Broadband Download Monitor to track your downloads and set alarms as you reach your limit.

30 day contracts offer the flexibility of pay as you mobile broadband, but often offer better value, and you won’t have to top up each time your credit runs out.
