Looking for some advice here, as I have a friend who is off to the states very soon and will be able to pick me up an ipad2, and at present exchange rates would see a very reasonable saving over the UK price.
I currently have an iPhone so am wondering whether it worth the extra for the 3G version. I can tether off the phone using my personal hotspot can I not? This would be using my monthly phone allowance, and I don't anticipate using it much this way anyhow in the UK.
However what has interested me was if I got a 3G version I am sure that I read that I could get a pay as you go sim card for it, from local providers when on holidays, especially in France - making the net access affordable? Is this the case and if so what sort of cost is it for such a card?
Any advice gratefully received.
