    You can get this deal for £12.50/month through Mobiles.co.uk. Plus £20 Quidco at the moment (expires in 3 days). The Mobiles website doesn't mention the free Spotify, but I took this deal out a couple days ago and when I log in to the Vodafone website it is included in my tariff. It's a cashback deal, but I haven't had any problems with Mobiles in the past.

    I can't see it?
    EDIT - sorry, yes I can, I was looking under nano sims.

    At the end of a T-mobile contract, if i ask for my PAC after the end of the contract, and use it within a couple of days, will they charge a full month, or just the days beyond the end of the contract? Do i need to still give 30 days notice?

    Very odd place to ask...

    For 30 days.
    Do i need to still give 30 days notice?
    No, but if you fail to port the number out, the contract goes on.

    So if i give 30 days notice 15 days before the end of the contract, i presume i will pay 15 days after the end of it, regardless whether i use the PAC.
    Or am i better just asking for and using the PAC a couple of days after the end of the contract, and not giving 30 days notice?

    boatman You will have to give 30 days notice even if you wait until you minimum term (12 months) has ended, so you may as well give notice 30 days befoe the end of the minimum term.

    It's either a notice or a PAC. If you get a PAC you must use it within 30 days, otherwise the contract goes on.
    Yes you'll pay for extra 15 days regardless of when you use the PAC.

    No, unless you are with Vodafone: When does a Vodafone contract end?

    Hi, frazzled new mum here looking for a bit of reassurance..

    With Orange. Contract just ended. Phone died during contract, so bought a recon IPhone so don't need a new phone now...

    I use c.400 mins (mainly orange and landlines... Orange calls currently Magic Numbers), I went over last month and got stung hugely :(. Data around 500mb but I turn off data when I'm not using it which is irritating.

    EE Retentions have offered

    2000 mins / unlimited texts / 2 gig / £12.99

    Not bad, but for the same price you can get Unltd+Unltd+2Gb with Virgin mobile and on a 30-days' contract, not 12-24 months. The same EE signal IIRC (not sure about 4G).

    +1 for giving Virgin a call. Especially if you already have other services with them.

    About 2 years ago they offered me a rolling monthly SIM only deal with 1200 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data for £5 because I was already a "good customer" due to my TV/Broadband/Phone package..

    A couple of months ago they upped the price to £6 but increased my calls to unlimited too. Shows on my bill each month as a £23 tariff with a £17 loyalty discount. :)
