Which Prepaid card for my iPad in England?

I'll be going to England for a week next Sunday. Planning on buying a prepaid SIM for my iPad. I'll be using quite a bit of data.

Which provider and plan is best?

T-Mobile do 5 days' internet for £2.50 ("5 day internet booster"), which is pretty cheap and they have good coverage.

I used 3's 3GB SIM - awesome value I think.

Phone Contract/Pre-Paid for when visiting the UK?

If you are using Linux ( Mint ) as I did, do not register with three.co.uk and the SIM will work for 3 months without tallying your data count

This trick does not work with Windows.

Very nice. Does anyone know of the best way to do this for an iPhone 5?

Basically I need a pre-paid / PAYG voice and data nano SIM for an upcoming trip to the UK. I was hoping 3 mobile would do something similar to what jrspet mentioned above, but no luck so far...

Ended up getting a 3 MiFi thingy - cost me 49£ including 1gb of data. An additional 3gb would be 15£, but I think 1 is going to be enough for my colleague and me (been using it for both of our cell phones, an iPad and a Laptop - speed's very good here).

I've got a 3 data SIM too for the iPad. Only irritation is you have to have a UK credit card with an UK address to reload credit online. But you can buy vouchers with cash or credit at 3 shop and load your account with those.

yeah, just found that out, too - but there are 3 shops at every corner here and I'm guessing you can buy the vouchers at Carphone Warehouse and PC World as well.
