Mobile broadband dongle

I am moving and don't want to pay BT line rental as I won't have a landline. Would a dongle work with an iPad, and also a Smart TV do that I could access catch up channels? And can you get pay monthly dongles? Many thanks

Before you choose, if you need a dongle make sure you have a good enough signal at the new address.

You might want to check with sims from other networks first.

Using a mobile dongle to watch TV will use up your allowance very quickly.

You will never get enough data to support your requirements.
Dongles aren't meant as a direct replacement for broadband.

Certainly unlikely to be good for tv, the OP really needs a landline for this.
