I suggest checking The Informr Plans page to find the plan that fits your needs.

And with regards to buying a phone separately or with a contract, it depends on how you plan on using it. Will you be with your Apple iPad Mini always? If not, I suggest buying a smartphone. But if you will be with the tablet all the time, cheap feature phones will be fine.

Thanks Carl. I have no carrier as yet, feel free to suggest one. Do you advise that I purchase a phone separately or get a deal with a phone?

Hi David. Depends on which carrier you are but I'll suggest a prepaid plan with just minutes and texts.
