You can buy the dongle or router separate from the SIM card, yes. Then get a PAYG data SIM. Depending on your budget a cheap 4g router may be better than a dongle...

May also be worth looking at 30 day contracts. Tend to be cheaper and can be restricted so there is no additional spend beyond contract data, the main issue is you need 30 days notice to cancel and it may be tougher to pass credit checks to buy multiple ones.

Not sure of best thread to ask this in, so feel free to direct me elsewhere.
I am part of our local PTFA, and like many schools the local primary school has a number of families that do not have any (or enough suitable) devices to be able to do home learning. Thankfully we have managed to get our hands on enough devices, so that bit is sorted. We do have a couple of families who don't have internet access though, so we were looking at the quickest, most cost effective way of doing this, I figured a 4g dongle with a preloaded Pay as you Go sim card would be the best approach, but I am struggling to see any which are Pay as you Go, they all seem to be bundled into monthly contracts, which for obvious reasons we can't do.
Anyone got any links to something like this? or can I buy the dongle separate from the sim card?
