I had received a call from Talk Talk offering me 500 mins, unlimited texts and 1GB for £6 a month. I still had 5 months of my contract to go but called T_Mobile to ask if they could match that.

To my surprise I have been offered unlimited calls, texts and 1.5GB data for £7 per month sim only. This is on EE so I get 4G too. Being able to get the 2 for 1 cinema tickets on Wednesday will be a bonus too. Well chuffed!

Does that include 08** calls too?

That wasn't mentioned on the call but not a big deal for me.

Both deals you listed here are incredible! This is exactly what I was looking for in fact. I came here to post my dismay at having been pounced on by a kind of call-back retentions department... I agreed on the phone to a £7.50/month SIM only for 500 mins, 500 texts and 600mB data, plus £25 cashback (because I was trying to get this anyway with them). I don't know what was up with me, I didn't haggle or anything! I felt really ambushed after I put the phone down. I will try and ring them up again and see how it goes. Cheers for the info!

I am looking for a SIM only deal
say 100 txt, 5 mins calls and 2Gb internet
Any suggestions ?
I forgot to say - outside of EE please.
And it will be needed 2 months today - so no expired offers
thanks

I am on T-mobile and want to get a new T-mobile contract but want to keep my number. Can I port my T-mobile number to Orange and then a few days later port the number to T-mobile on the new contract?

OK, so I've been with O2 for at least 6 years, maybe 8, and they won't budge.

My contract is up in about a month, maybe 6 weeks. I'm currently paying £38.85 for my iphone 4s, with 600 minutes and 750mb of data. Vodaphone have a free 32gig 5s with unlimited minutes unlimited texts and 1000mb of data for £37, but O2 won't match that because it's on moneysupermarket.com and not a high street chain. So do I ditch 'em and go to vodaphone or have 1 more crack at it? Any opinions or advice will be greatfully received.

You can port your number anywhere
I ported mine to 3 then back to t mobile on new sim only deal
It does take a week or so though

What you do find though is that t mobile will ring you after you request PAC code and offer better deals

You probably can find an online retailer offering a better deal than O2 that's with O2. I get a discount through work on refresh tariffs and I beat it easily elsewhere. Also you may have to request PAC or put notice in before they come back with a better deal direct. My experience is that they will call you back and offer a better deal. You do have to be realistic though with your expectations but if it's available elsewhere they should be able to match it

Ditch them and go elsewhere.
