I think it may be more both in money paid and what they give you now.

Paying upfront for a years land line rental has become a lot less of a bargain than it was last year looking at it quickly.

when you say paying upfront for a year, i assume your refering to your landline and broadband with talktalk, and not your sim only package with talktalk

You could have a look at Vectone.

They do sims (EE network) and landlines. Dunno about broadband.

Vectone customers get 6 months broadband half price broadband at £3.25, their landline 12 months upfront (£107.00) is £8.92 a month and free Vectone - Vectone calls between landline and mobile and vice versa... dunno why MSE doesn't mention it, maybe you now have to pay to advertise as the cheaper providers since moneysupermarket bought MSE?

Vectone only requires one LEAD sim to be topped up monthly for the 6 months half price broadband

I really, really wouldn't touch vectone. I ported my number to them 2 weeks ago and have not been able to receive incoming calls since. I've contacted them almost daily about it, every day they promise it will "definitely" (not "probably") be fixed. The girl hung up on me today when I asked politely about a possible refund.

I'd heard the tales of bad customer service but usually I'm able to find a way past such things. Vectone / Delight Mobile are absolutely impossible when things go wrong.

Seriously, don't ignore the warnings you see. They're not your usual "bad".

There are alot of negative comments about Vectone which may well be the reason they are not recommended. Payg seems ok with them but as soon as you start a direct debit there seem to be problems. Have a read first would be my advice.

And top up vectone using a voucher rather than credit card. The 'do not auto topup' has been known to be ignored, reportedly.

I've now blocked then from my credit card.

I think I've managed to get a decent deal from EE - 30 day rolling contract for 11.99 per month which includes Unlimited texts/calls and 2gb of data.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Now that I know how much tax I've got to pay... It's time to get my mobile costs in order...

I'm looking for a sim only deal. I've got my iPhone 5s now out of contract and unlocked.. I don't need 4G as I don't think it's worth bothering with until it actually works well.. but it might be nice..

I do more texting than anything else, with at least 300 mins of voice calls and reasonable amount of data I'd guess..

I was looking at the Three deals and was considering trying the 4GB data, 600 mins, on 1 month contract for £18 a month first and then if it's any good then go to the same deal on a 12 month contract for £15.

Although, I've heard negative things about Three's coverage so was also looking at a GiffGaff £18 a month 3G deal or similar £18 a month 4G deal. How does GiffGaff work though? Is it a monthly rolling contract? Can I get a better deal if I sign up for 12 months or more? Everybody else seems to do that except them... Are they any better than Three?

I also noticed the £18 4G deal is going up to £20 in April. But if I start using it before then will it remain £18 or will I just get a couple of months at £18 and then it'll revert to £20.

I'm currently with Virgin Mobile and not that impressed.

Any advice out there?

Giffgaff is PAYG with bundles ('goodybags). No contract, no deals. The price can change.

Check Lycamobile as well. They use the same O2 and have £15 bundle that can suit you.
