Currently T-Mobile £10.50/month - renewal soon!

sasparillo

At the moment I have a T-mobile 12 month contract sim card coming up for renewal 300 minutes/250Mb Internet/500 minutes T-Mobile to T-Mobile/Unlimited texts for £10.50 a month. I am also able to access Virgin mobile on the London underground which is nice although I suppose not essential (but I might miss it at first!).

I need a minimum of 300 minutes talk.

I use an iphone 3gs.

I haven't yet phoned up T-mobile retentions.

I note that Tesco has a £10 a month 500 minutes/5000 texts/500MB sim card.

From Uswitch I notice

Virgin has a £12 1200 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB sim card which is tempting but still £1.50 more than I am currently paying.

I can get a Vodafone SIM 300 minutes/unlimited texts/250 Mb for £10.50 but 3 months half price with a promo code MSIM3HP

I notice a special deal with uswitch of T-mobile 300 minutes/unlimited texts/250 data for £10 a month http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/yourdeal/?_cid=71773954

Orange has a £10.50 deal 300 minutes/unlimited texts/500 mb

Can anyone suggest any other possible deals?

Ovivo PAYG give you 100 minutes for free. Extra 400 cost £10.
After 3x£10 monthly topups you start getting 150 free and can add extra 150 for £5.
So, from month 4 300m+150t+500Mb will cost you £5 p.m.

Thanks grumbler. I've always had a lot of texts so I haven't kept a track of my text usage but I've realized I text a lot so I'm not sure that 150 texts will be enough. But otherwise Ovivo sounds good ... Are you with them?

grumbler

Yes, I am, although I am happy with just free 100+100+400.

BTW, after 6x£10 it's 200+200+600 free, so for £10 you can get 350+350+600.

What makes you think it is 'coming up for renewal'? The existing deal needs no renewing - so if it suits, stick with it.

Hi Buzby, Nice to hear from you. The twelve months are coming up. It seems to me that there are cheaper deals on the market and even 50p difference does make a difference. I only added the Virgin deal cos 1200 minutes 1 gb does sound good but I was veering towards the Tesco deal unless T-mobile can equal it. It seems a bit rich that there is a special deal for £10 on the internet for T-mobile when I, a loyal customer for several years, am paying £10.50, although admittedly I haven't asked T-mobile about it as I've only just seen the deal!

I'll have to work out my actual text usage and my talk usage would be more - it would all be a bit dicey for me, I think but it does sound like a good deal for anyone who can keep within the limits!

I was offered this deal as well. Was offered it as soon as I phoned up saying I was after a SIM only deal. Unfortunately it's not enough data for me so turned it down.

there's a £80 cash back on Quidco on Vodafone £15:50 sim only deal giving 600 minutes 500 mb unlimited texts with the cash back just under £9 per month

Thanks Mije and Dal,

I assume you're talking about the £10 a month deal or are you saying you were offered the deal for £8 which would be good?!

I also notice Vectone does a 1000 mins/texts and 1 GB for £10 a month which looks pretty damn good, unless others know different ...
