Just wondered whats the best deal for a Micro sim cut down hack? I got hold of a Tesco Pay as U go sim, cut it down and signed up for their unlimited £2 per week browsing and it worked! a word of warning you have to wait for a text saying it's enabled otherwise you get charged £4 per 1Mb!!! I did this at first but then realised when my £10 lasted a few mintues of surfing, fortunatly Tesco refunded the money.
This is ok but it involves a lot of sim swapping, to loging into the myTesco account and set it up they txt you a pass code so you need an unlocked phone to place the micro sim in I fortunatly had a 3 micro sim that cam with the iPad once I pressed the micros sim out of the plastic I was left with a micro sim adapter I could use for putting my freshly cut Tesco sim in to place back and forth from the phone to the iPad. Another word of warning it changes your apn settings in you iPhone..
The other drawback is you have to re-enable this every week via txt, seeing as we can't get txt's on the iPad yet this is going to be a pain, the other option is a £10 rolling monthly contract for unlimited browsing from Tesco.

Any one got any other idea's? I did wonder if I could get my existing o2 sim cloned as I have their unlimited internet with a simplicity monthly sim, that would be perfect but then I'm not sure if thats possible or what happens if I use both at the same time..
