What's the best SIM plan for tethering?.

I don’t often look at my bank statement but every now and then, I cast a cursory glance without much thought. Earlier this week though, I noticed something not right. My monthly mobile payment had jumped by about a third for a couple of months and there was no plausible explanation for that. Neither did I jet anywhere fancy where I could get roaming charges nor did I use extra data given that all the lines I use with my mobile provider (Three UK) have unlimited data allowance.

Three, like all mainstream UK mobile phone providers, gives you access to a detailed billing online and mine revealed that I have been charged every week since October 16th, a small amount; £4.50 (or £18 every four weeks). By the time I found out, I had been charged £40.50.
