I hope it's OK for me to ask this question here. It's not specifically related to HTC or Android, but contributors to this forum are so responsive and helpful and I've found no better place to ask it.

Thanks for that information. That could suit me very well, assuming that I don't have to wait 3 months before I can top up my allowance by another 150MB.

I also found this from Three, which seems to say that in order to "get [my] PAYG working as want it to" I can buy Mobile Web Access Add-ons: 1 day 120MB 50p, 7 days 500MB
