iPhone 4S uses TOO much data

As you may have gathered, I found your sarcastic comment suggesting "I should look beyond the bundle" a tad insulting.

A tad insulting? Over what, disagreeing with you? Sheesh - every persons experience is really quite different, I was going on what I am allowed to do, an opinion.

Three is poor round me, poor round my two office locations and so because its good for you I should go for it? No I think not.

You will notice I said service and signal - if you like your call centers off shore and the people to be given no authority whatsoever to make a decision then thats entirely your choice.

I tried three - for a week, on PAYG before choosing my network - they couldn't give me straight answers to billing and network questions when I called and as they decided they 'had the capacity' they dropped paying other networks for network access - this was recently and there are many threads about it - it was and still is a problem in the majority of areas they dropped.

Ahh the good old 'im older than you, although I can't prove it, which makes me right you know comment' the only thing you missed was claiming I worked for o2! *yawn* really, you don't know me, you clearly have a chip on your shoulder about you 'always' being 'right'.

You even go so far as to profess because you drove a truck you have 'travelled all over the UK, far wider than you're likely to do in your lifetime' - you don't have a clue you really don't do you...such sweepingly factually incorrect comments underline this.

Sheesh, you could be older than me (you'll never know!) but you certainly still don't understand the concept of a person being entitled to an opinion on a forum.

Do tell us how to get unlimited data cheaper on 3 than £10/ month. It would be really helpful.

All I can find is p&g £15/ month or the £25/ month deal.

I have a 3 sim on the £10/ month that had a good cash ak rate but that's a year tie in and just 1gb data.

The poster said it was just over £8 a month after cashback was included.

£15 a month X 12 months = £180 - TopCashBack is £83.83 so £180 - £83.83 / 12 = £8.01 a month.

Obviously cashback is part of the calculation and as Martin Lewis says its a bonus not a guarantee (three's de-duplication methods on commission payments from the ad networks have been known to be a little hit and miss)

Additionally if currently a customer you would need a new number, it wouldn't be possible with your current number unless you get a retention deal from Three (which wouldn't include the cashback)

3 is cheaper via Quidco and you get over double the minutes and better 3G and HSDPA coverage.

Most people on here don't go though Quidco they just buy stuff normal
i myself have never used any because you get to much of them not paying out

all depends were you live if you get a good signal from 3
All you can eat data you have to pay £15-25 not £10

So overall i think GiffGaff is the better deal for Payandgo.

Hmmmm, I think you're probably wrong there? I've only been using cashback sites for a year and had £80+ that I wouldn't normally have had. Yes, there's a risk it won't track or payout but surely the chance of getting something is better than no chance at all?

Go through Quidco. Sign up to SIM 600 12 month contract for £12 a month. That gets you £81.82 cashback taking the amount for a 12 month period from £144 to £62.18 or £5.18 a month. Next, once you've got your SIM card phone them up and tell them you're a new customer and meant to get the contract with unlimited data. They'll add that for another £3 a month taking it up to £8.18.

Applied yesterday for the wife and it shows as tracked today. This will be the third contract done this way, the other two paid out within 6 weeks of signing up.

I can guarantee I've covered more of the UK far more times than you are likely to. That is unless of course you do in excess of 100,000 miles per year travelling to all points of the UK.

I've used 1gb since 22nd December, and I'm quite a heavy user. That's actually less than the handset I upgraded from (android). Can't compare it against previous iPhones I'm afraid.

Regarding the problem I have a Galaxy S2 with T Mobile and with them you get unlimited emails and browsing - and on top 500MB Data

I've gone from a 3GS on 02 to 4s on Vodafone and my data usage literally halfed

Prove it?

As I thought, another holier than thou comment, how nice of you, oh older and wiser one (maybe you are, maybe you aren't )
