How long have you been with the same network?

Been with Three for 6 years or so I think. I'm currently paying £12.30/pm for 12gb and even though I barely used 2gb a month, I have no real incentive to move and the extra data is nice when I go on holiday and end up using a load more.

Not concerned about paying for extra data you don't use and is wasted? Save some money and top up when needed?

Went to to Voxi in the end, tenner fixed cost by Paypal each month rolling monthly. Not the fastest, but good coverage and does what I need it to. That'll do for now.

I wasn't inspired by their reviews on the Trustpilot website. Hope it goes well.

I'm now tempted to go to Smarty. Sounds like it's a smart choice as your bill is discounted for unused data.

I started out with Cellnet before the digital/GSM days. I've never had a good enough reason to change, even though the company name has!

Currently rocking a £36 vodafone unlimited with red entertainment primary and three 8gb secondary for £10.

Covers most of the world for roaming

Wouldn't it make sense to get the £30 unlimited 5G contract from Vodafone unless you're currently locked into one? Still includes Spotify and such.

Just entering my second year with three. Normally bounce between them and O2 every few years.

12gb data for £13pcm, can't complain really. Covers me for the USA where I go two or three times a year currently.

My bad, I'm a donkey

Do wonder if I'll see improvements in 4G service with Three once 5G launches as they actually named my city as one receiving the service later in the year.

Yeah they did look a bit naff, but I figured that PAT codes are available via SMS and switching networks is a doddle on a monthly rolling contract so if they suck it won't be too much hassle to switch again.

So far so good...

I move around depending on what deals are available but given the choice would definitely go back to Vodafone due to them being the only provider I've found that works in all rooms of the house. O2 and Three don't cut it.

I chop and change between Three and EE.Currently with Three but will probably get a virgin sim next but a Three unlimited sim for my 4G router.

Jasoncmor · 2 Aug 2019 at 22:09

16 years with O2.
Had my first smart phone with them aswell, a Sony Ericsson P910i.
Left for a month to try EE, it had really bad coverage for me in my area, so I went back to O2.
Seem to have the best deals, coverage etc for me.

MrWhippy · 5 Aug 2019 at 22:48

Giffgaff for about 5 years. Most of my family are on it so there's a lot of free calls. Most months I get by on an £8 goodybag.

Coconut888 · 6 Aug 2019 at 18:52

I just haggled with customer relations for over two hours on three chat got my £20 sim deal down to £5 + £20 Credit
Plan is unlimited data/minutes/text/hotspot and free 5G only been with three for 11 months. (iPhone XS Max)

Home broadband tplink 4g router using another three sim paying £9 for unlimited data/text/hotspot/200 minutes.

My last deal paying EE £15 for 100gb (Samsung galaxy s10+)

Online live chat is the way to go for deals on EE/THREE

I've been with Three for years, and they're just putting my price up to £20 pm for unlimited calls and texts and 30 gb data. I sometimes get close to that data allowance but have never exceeded it. The thing I value most about Three is their roaming, as I travel a reasonable amount (Europe).

Does anyone have any suggestions on a better offer?

For £20 a month 3 are doing unlimited data now.

The_Abyss · 10 Aug 2019 at 13:37

Thanks, but I think that’s for 24 months, and I don’t want to tie in that long on a sim-only deal at a time when 5G is rolling out.
