I'm looking for a telco company with reasonable coverage in the UK that has a SIM card for a phone that allows other machines to be tethered to it. 3 has great deals for non residents but they do not allow for tethering. We are only in the UK for a month.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I think all packages bar one allowing tethering.
I have been with them about 8 years.
Think Which consumer mag.gave them best provider again this year
They run in O2s infrastructure.

As a bonus the call rate to USA mobiles and landlines is under 3c a min.Thier month packages
"Goody bags" gives best value.
You initially buy credit but then buy the Goody bag from that. Don't forget that step.
When you activate the SIM , £10 min.,they also add £5 bonus
Thanks for the reply but from Giffgaffs website there are no places to physically go in and buy a SIM. We are already in London and are about to move around the country and don't know more than a day or two in advance where we will be.
So I need another suggestion thanks.....
EE PAYG 4G Multi SIM can have a bundle with 8 GB data, 2000 mins and unlimited texts for £25 and allows tethering. Shouldn't be too difficult to track down one of their shops.
If you're still in London, stop by a car phone warehouse or a Vodafone store. I've found the staff in these to be quite helpful. They should be able to find you something that will work.
Went out today not specifically looking for a store. Ended up at Harrods (looking - not buying) and saw there was a Vodaphone store within Harrods.
As Rocket said....very helpful. Ended up with 20GB data for 30 days and a huge amount of talk/text time for 30 pounds that I can tether. Possibly could be cheaper elsewhere but seems great to me. Not sure about coverage but I'm happy.
Thank you for your suggestions.
If you think you are going to use all that data (or close to it) that isn't really that bad.
Independent studies in general put EE as having the best network availability, but Vodafone isn't that far behind - and anyway personal experience can differ,
