    Thinking of getting a SIM so my son can join his friends on whatsapp. He has wifi 99% of the time so really I would just be getting the sim with the hope of rarely, if ever, topping up. At the same time, if we do go in the car it might be nice to get him the best option that won't burn thru his limited top-up credit in a few seconds of data use.

    Anyone recommend a good sim-only carrier with no monthly topup?

    I seem to remember Three if you used data they took €1 and have you X amount of MB for the day rather than drain your credit but that looks to be gone now. As a matter of fact trying to find the actual rates for any carrier is hidden very well as they all presume you'll top up monthly.

    Actually seemed Vodafone and Eir both had 100mb for €1.99/day. Ended up trying Eir which send the sim free. Will try topping up a fiver to activate and keep off the monthly plans.

    What network are you on? Depending on phone and plan you have you could turn on your mobile hotspot instead.
