What nano sim are people using for 3G with their iPad air and air2?

After waiting several weeks for Tesco mobile to send me out a nano sim for mobile broadband, they tell me yesterday they don't actually do them and I'm the first person to ever ask for one! I looked at Vodafone and they also only seem to have the micro sim.

The Tesco 3mth, 3gig plan for €15 suits me perfectly. They are going to send me out a micro sim to try & cut down, but I was was wondering what others with a wifi+3G are using for Internet when out & about. I really don't want to go down the tethering/hotspot route as that's what I'm doing currently and find it a pain (and I will need to increase my data on my mobile phone plan).

You get a mobile broadband micro sim and a nano phone sim. Ring and ask Tescomobile support to transfer the number etc across to the phone sim. They did it for me, no hassle. I think you have to pay for the sims, but they credit it to your account.

I did get a nano phone sim sent out originally. When I rang them to get it changed over / activated ( as I have previously had the Tesco micro broadband sim in my old iPad and would be able to carry over the used credit) I was told that it was a phone sim and couldn't be used on the mobile broadband plans. She was going to order me a nano broadband sim and it's only now after it not turning up that I rang to find out where it was to be told they don't do them.

Ring again, they did it for me no problem. Its only a sim card, they can transfer the relevant plan onto the number. Took about 10 minutes all told.

I have an iPad air 1 and am using an O2 sim. 15gm per month at €17 per month.

Do tesco do 4G?

I'd seriously consider moving to tesco if they did (would have to hack the carrier string though so I wouldn't look cheap :P)
