To have an iphone which is essentially only part functional is a deal breaker for me so I went with O2. Good coverage and data allowance is fine buy your iphone and go for sim only package on a 1 month rolling contract.

I have the 3G iPad, for gps, but have not bothered to install 3G card because it works fine tethered to my iPhone ( using personal hotspot and wifi connection). Great to get me METARS and TAFS come in as you are flying and now to be able to divert and pull up plates. John
