Vodafone Pre-Loaded Data-Only SIMs for Vodafone K5161 Data Dongle?

[Nimbus1]

Hello All

I originally purchased a Vodafone K5161 Data Dongle from Argos which included a pre-loaded 15GB ‘data only’ SIM lasting for 90 days. Once the 90-day expiry was reached on the original SIM, I went into my local Vodafone shop and asked if there was a pre-loaded ‘data only’ SIM option with a much longer expiry time. The shop said they have a pre-loaded 24GB data only SIM option that lasts for 2 years. Perfect, for me as I use very little data, but need a long duration expiration time and purchased it for £45. This is the link to the Vodafone page showing the 5 options of pre-loaded data only SIMs available https://freesim.vodafone.co.uk/check-out-data

Looking at the Vodafone site today, I was unable to navigate to the page link above anymore. In the past if you chose to order a free data only SIM, it would take you first to the page above. Can I assume that these 5 data only SIM options are no longer available to purchase?

My current 24GB / 2 Year SIM is working fine, but I’m completely unaware of how I will be able to top up the data and/or increase the time on it in the future?

For people that use a Vodafone K5161 Data Dongle, what is the best PAYG pre-loaded data only SIMs available from Vodafone, that do not have a short time duration expiration? I do not want to have to contract into a pay monthly option.

Many thanks

I now know were I stand for the future.

I'll top-up the data on the current SIM, as and when required, during the 24month period. Once the 24month period ends, I'll just go and purchase another new data-only SIM.

Oh yeah, I have now also found out the data SIMs mobile phone number, by putting it into an old phone, so at least I should now be able to top-up its data when needed - fingers crossed it will top-up OK...
