Quick question, just looking for differing opinions really and if anyone knows of decent deals floating around. I'm currently with three on a 12 month contract but get absolutely no signal at work, no idea why and they can't help. There are no problems at all with signals from EE, Vodafone or o2, so I'm looking at changing to one of these.

Currently paying £22 a month for unlimited texts, data and 200 minutes, so looking for something comparable to this, from what I can see the 20gb offer from o2 seems the best option?
 
What ISP are you with? BT uses EE's network and offers a discount for those who have BT braodband at home. You don't need to be the bill payer either. They have a current offer of £15 a month for unlimited calls and texts, and 15GB 4G data for £16 a month along with a few other extras.

O2 is fine but their speeds aren't exactly fast compared to the other networks.
 
+1 for BT if possible.

I'm on either £15 or £20 (can't remember which now, but even the latter is still a great price) for 20GB, Unlimited Texts & Calls.
 
ISP is Sky so no option there unfortunately, is that £16 only available to BT Broadband users?
 
Looks like I can get a little back with quidco too, thanks, BT is definitely an option then!
 
Well this saves me creating a thread was just about to ask about BT and there coverage I'm currently on Giffgaff but thinking of swapping to BT as I'm swapping my Broadband to them

Only difference with BT you wont get 4G+ speeds as with EE . So with BT 30Mbs vs 60Mbs EE unless you pay extra to BT
 
I recently switched form 3 to BT and got the Unlimited Minutes & Texts and 15gb internet package with an £80 Amazon voucher and £40 cashback on quidco. Find it much better than 3 for in regards to speeds and reception.
 
Just switched from EE to Three, and it was a bad move. The Three half price SIM-only offer tempted me, but I'm plagued by low signal and signal dropouts and poor speed. Fortunately I didn't transfer my number, the old EE SIM went onto PAYG and I think I can cancel the Three contract - bought online 2-3 weeks ago. So I'm going to check that I cancel with Three, and then go back to EE or maybe BT if they use EE's network as stated here.
 
I have just redone a deal with voda, I have droped from unlimited mins and texts and 3GB data @ £13.20. To 1000 mins unlimited text 3GB data for £9. I got 3 months free, I also added 2 extra sims for the kids (same mins, text, data) and 4 months free for them @ £9 each.

So a good deal I think. But I have been with them for about 5 years.
 
Was very happy to switch to EE virtual network
No 4g but I don't need it (I can't see who would apart from tether.)

12 pounds for 3gb (calls texts beyond my needs)
One month rolling

Switched from 3 when they jacked up their prices. Glad they did. EE is a better network and I pay less now

You should have argued your case with 3. I managed to get 4GB with unlimited calls and texts for that £12pm and with 4G (not that I can get it here, but their 3G (H+?) is blazing anyway).

Obviously if you're happier with EE that's fine, all I'm saying is there are better deals to be had than the ones shoved in front of you. :)
 
Just gone over to Giffgaff.

You can move your monthly bill up or down depending on your use, i started on the £18 (6gb) deal and dropped to the £12 (2gb).

You order yor free sim and can cancel at any time!
