apelike   10 #15 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) As a new mobile phone user (thanks to ElCid ) I went for a SIM free phone and get a Pay As You Go £10 SIM from Three. That gives me land-line and mobile calls for .03p, texts for .02p and internet browsing for .01p/MB, also included is an allowance of 150MB Data. Not too bothered about using it for the internet as I prefer my PC with a big screen for that.  With some SIM's it seems that if you don't use your allowance within the month, you have to top up again. This SIM does not need to be renewed every month like most and only when needed.  Slightly off topic.. they also do a SIM router with 20GB data for I think £10PM.

swarfendor437   14 #16 Posted February 21, 2017 Another vote for GiffGaff here - now how many operators let you know you are spending too much? If just for calls, a £10 top up can last up to 3 months with free calls to other GiffGaff numbers. My Data payments were £10 per month and I was advised I was paying too much and that I should only be on the £7.50 plan! Go GiffGaff!

WasThatWise   10 #17 Posted February 21, 2017 My sim only deal with EE has a month to run, called them to innocently ask if I had to pay to have my phone unlocked to move to Tesco as I got more for less and the price with EE was going up, they instantly matched (very very slightly bettered) the Tesco deal so I have stayed with them, they wouldn't give me club card points though.

S1 1DJ Â Â 11 #18 Posted February 21, 2017 Have a look on U Switch to see what deals are out there to suit you and your usage. I use this as a negotiation tool when threatening to leave! Â I'm a heavy user and get everything unlimited apart from 12gb tether and "feel at home" on my SIM only plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

AlexAtkin   10 #20 Posted February 22, 2017 If you don't make a lot of calls or use a lot of data, Three PAYG is by far the cheapest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bonjon   10 #22 Posted February 23, 2017 I've just moved to VF SIMO, from EE and i'm finding the 4g much faster!! I'm on the 20gb/ult/ult deal for £20/m with £65 quidco.  Great deal if you're looking for ample data. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sgtkate   10 #23 Posted February 23, 2017 Agree with GiffGaff, or BT if you are broadband customer with you as you get £5 a month off which makes their deals pretty decent. Both are sim only so you'd need to use your own phone. If you can afford to buy a phone outright then that always works out cheaper as otherwise you end up effectively buying the phone on credit over 2 years (24 month contract).

bkcin   10 #24 Posted February 23, 2017 I'm with three and a 12 month sim only deal that just came to an end, managed to negotiate the same package I was on from £16/month to £10/month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
