I've currently got three running.

1) iPhone 3G on O2 - this is my phone and contract (although I get a
30% discount on the tariff as my employer has a lot of handsets with
O2) - occasionally used for 'unofficial' tethering in an emergency.
2) O2 SIM - this is my work SIM, but I divert all calls to my work
extension or when I'm away it bounces to my iPhone.
3) T-Mobile web'n'walk SIM in an O2 E160 dongle - this is used at work
(which has decent 3G T-Mobile coverage) for my MacBook Pro. Costs
£5/mo and my MacBook Pro created an ad-hoc WiFi network so that a
select few people can use the connectivity for sites/entertainment
when they don't want it logged on the company account. This has also
been used at home when O2 Home Broadband went down for a weekend as a
decent stop-gap (limited to 45Kb/sec 360kB/sec)
