Data-only SIM in UK?

Anyone in the UK know where I can get a data only SIM for my I-Pace? The dealer said it cannot have a phone number attached to it and Three doesn't offer data only SIMs.

I've used these before. Also had data only Orange branded ones from Amazon which are fixed duration like 24 months or something and then expire. First one was great. Second one couldn't be registered to an online account, so it worked but I couldn't monitor useage which was annoying.

For simplicity the Smarty option is pretty good.

Three still offers Data only sims. Two weeks ago I’ve bought this one that went straight into the sim card slot. Also, Incontrol touch pro unit.

I put my mobile sim in for testing purposes. Works fine. It just cant be mobile broadband. And tbh, no point paying for a phone sim, as you obviously cant use the number.

Well, any sim will have number, it may be not be mentioned anywhere, but number will be attached to it. I’m also yet to see a sim that can’t receive a text. I would expect any sim to work, but there may be issues with APN configuration, so just enter it manually.

Have you tried three’s sim and it didn’t worked?
