Just beware. I used a 12 month prepaid card in a 4G modem in my camper van on a recent trip. I ran the ipad, iphone and 2 macbooks of the wireless network generated by the modem.
I was chewing through the quite limited download quota very quickly and it was costing a fortune. I had to carefully look at all the services running on the ipad and iphone. I recall that iCloud and Dropbox were the culprits, but there might have been others. So, check things out carefully when you first get the prepaid SIM.
