O2 Guru quick tips

  • Make sure you get a Simplicity for iPad micro sim or nano sim. You can't use an iPhone sim in an iPad.

  • Micro or nano? If you have iPad mini, you'll need a nano sim. Ask for a micro sim if you have iPad with Retina display or iPad 2. The third generation iPad and original iPad also use a micro sim.

  • If you find that you're surfing a bit more than expected and need more data, you can always top up 200MB extra for the day.

  • You can have a max of 5GB on your account when you choose a recurring plan. So if you don't use all your data one month, it carries over to the next.

Interested in buying iPad with Retina display, iPad 2 or iPad mini?
You can get one at Apple retail stores, the Apple Online store and authorised Apple resellers.

How far will your data go?

Here's a rough guide of what you can do with your data allowance.

Single activity means doing just one thing. Mixed activity means doing lots of different things, but with the same data allowance.

If you're just watching YouTube or downloading movies or TV shows, data could be used up faster. The picture quality or the length of the clip uses more data.
