Hi all. Just joined the community and looking for some advice on the best option to go for. I have done a search but can seem to find a related answer.
Ive purchased a Netgear M2 router for our touring caravan and am trying to find the best affordable option that gives me a high data allowance for the time we use it. The caravan is usually used for around 6 months of the year and data is used mostly on streaming services such as Netflix etc, so I know these consume quite a bit of data. As far as I can tell I have 3 options:
PAYG. I just top up £30 a month when I need to
FLEX. Not sure if this will give me enough data but like the idea I can pause the plan till I need it.
PAY MONTHLY. Buy the cheapest pay monthly plan(currently £9 for current customers) and then gift it data as and when needed.
Anyone on here with similar circumstances can make a recommendation would be much appreciated
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Thanks all so far 👍🏻. It sounds like PAYG may be my best option for just periodic use. But I will keep a look out or see what the EE stores can offer me

Hello @Mrgee
Welcome to the EE community
Your summary of the alternate payment options is basically correct.

Remember you can only use data-gifting between mobiles on the same billing account. So you'll need to add the proposed new SIM to the same account as an existing number from which you're willing to share,
