Default Mobile Broadband Sim in iPhone?

I have a question that I hope someone knows the answer to (Google can't help me!).

Can I use a mobile broadband SIM in the iPhone?

My free 02 pay-as-you-go internet on the iPhone is coming to an end and I would just prefer to buy a dongle for my laptop for mobile broadband and just have the sim in the iPhone when I need it. I just use the iPhone as a media player and internet not for the phone.

Thanks for any help.

Im not sure I understand the question but I can confirm a PAYG sim from 02 that hasn't even been registered will work in a (non jailbroken) iPhone to allow it to be used for everything but as a phone.
I've just recently done exactly that with an original 8gb phone to allow my wife something to listen to and watch on a long flight, I just put the phone in airplane mode.
