Any decent SIM only plans out there?

I am currently on Giffgaff and have regretted it ever since I ported in about 3 weeks ago. The deal is fantastic but the O2 network is very poor. The signal at my home fluctuates between half signal and zero signal often.

I get text message sending fail constantly even with good signal.

Signal seems poor in most places wherever I am - I get only a regular GPRS signal in places where I always had full HSDPA signal with Vodafone.

In short, the O2 network seems fundamentally awful and I'm looking to move as soon as possible.

Three appeals but coverage worries me. Whats it like and do they still use Orange for backup 2G signal?
 
T-mobile is doing a special today, 600min+500txt+3gb+a booster... all for £7.50 - 12 month contract. :) Details on hotukdeals.
 
Argh only problem I have is my contract ends on the 17th December - I guess I can only PAC after then...

It seems to end at 8pm, so hurry up. :) I would have gone for it myself, but contract doesnt end until March, so hopefully the offer will surface later.

Phone only, try this one: 08009565057

Nooo!!! (thought HUKD posted it to start from tomorrow?!?)

Can anyone give me a straight answer regards my PAC situation?

I presume TMobile allows you to PAC within the first 30days of a contract? As Im still in O2 contract til 17/12 - should I just ask for the PAC just before the 30days is up (say 10/12) and then expect O2 to bill me up until the 17/12 as thats my minimum term?

Just want to make sure that I can leave O2 without paying too much to leave early and PAC my number in safety...

EDIT: Bah O2 are closed so cant get a definitive answer that way - I presume all contracts not in person still have a cooling off period?

I didnt know there was a limit when you could port your number across to your new sim? It might be - others correct me..

25 minutes left mate.. (assuming 8pm is the end time).. :)
 
I know when I orginally tried to get the iPhone 3G O2 told me they only allow PACs in the first 30days of the contract. Im quite happy to pay for 2 contracts for a month - I just dont want to lose a number Ive had for nearly 15years...

Just got that contract myself, 600 minutes, Unlimited Texts, Unlimited Internet (3GB FUP) ;) for £7.50 per month.
 
Cheers - will try and order now but will check the PAC and cooling off period

Cancelling my O2 Simplicity one which is £25 per month and it's only 300 minutes, Unlimited Texts and Unlimited Internet..with insurance.
 
Just ordered it - done and dusted. Supposedly its one of their offers that ends at any time - the telesales person wouldnt confirm when that would be or if it will be tomorrow.

Will call O2 tomorrow and sort out the PAC/minimum charge. No issue regards to when you PAC over and there is a 7day cooling off period!

Shame theres no WIFI booster

Cool, its a good price. :)

Im with O2 and must say their Wifi add-on is completely useless.. I have tried to connect to BT Openzone a large number of places, and EVERYWHERE I find a hotspot it turns out it is NOT included in the O2 offering (only a few are available to O2 users).. I cant not believe they are allowed to advertise their simcard as having wifi.
 
Yeah I think Ive only ever used it outside an O2 store and that was really only when it was a new thing or to do large app updates when its convenient.

I dont need it but initial thought I might aswell have it - doubt Ill miss it. Just glad you posted as comparing the other deals I was looking at (giffgaff were main contenders) it seems I would have paid at least double.

If you google that TMobile number theres an interesting thread title 'Bye bye GiffGaff' :p

BTW I ended up with 600mins + Unlimited Texts + 3Gb Data - I kept asking for the Unlimited Data (3Gb FUP) as the booster but she said thats already included so opted for the Unlimited Texts instead!

I noticed the HUKD thread was a bit confusing on this...

P.S. Thanks Lethal too - I just noticed you mentioned the same deal yesterday and I completed missed it...
