I'm currently with T-mobile and have less than two months left on my contract. I've decided i'm not going to get a new phone and go sim only.

T-mobile gives me good coverage, the only problem I've had is that in the lifetime of my contract they have increased it twice

I've had a look at alternative deals and I've found ovivo mobile but it looks almost to good to be true.

For a £20 one off payment you get a monthly limit of 150 mins, 150 texts and 500mb of data.

I'm usually use around 150 mins, less that 150 texts and a little less than 500 mb

From the research i've done it looks live ovivo uses Vodafone which won't be a problem for me.

Does anyone have any experience with ovivo or should I just try and get a better sim only deal with T-Mobile?

    Ovivo New Network. 200 minutes 200 Texts Free indefinitely.

    I think there are better deals around. For EE signal check Virgin Mobile. Also ASDA Mobile Ditches Vodafone for EE

    For Vodafone signal you can check [STRIKE]T-mobile [/STRIKE] Talkmobile as well, but if you are happy with the allowances Ovivo is a better option.

    Have had Ovivo for a few months and very pleased, bought mine when it was £15, as I am a light user this was the best offer I could find, have yet to get anywhere near the monthly free useage.

    I don't see how you could get a better deal with T-Mobile.

    Their current offer is 150mins any network - 250 texts - 500MB data for an outlay of £20 (£5 for sim/setup I suppose and £15 credit).

    Allowance resets back to that every month with no extra charge, stay within the monthly allowance and that £20 outlay without having to top up is fine and no ongoing monthly fee.

    Where did that information come from ? or are you spreading rumour?

    If you quote something you should attribute it to a reliable source.

    Quotes like that raise the suspicion that you work for a competitor!

    There are lots of different types of debt. On a continuum all the way from planned bank loans through to unpaid suppliers.

    Debt is how virtually every company gets started, so is not necessarily a problem.

    I'm not an investor in Ovivo, or a supplier, so the worst I can lose is the £20 that's sitting in my account.

    I've been with Ovivo for about 6 months now. In that time there was one outage, but they were good about giving updates. Day to day service has been excellent.

    Coverage seems quite a lot worse than when I was with O2.
    But that's Vodafone's fault, not Ovivo's.

    Not realy ..... The company was funded by crowdfunding investment of over £400k @ 20% equity.

    Think of Dragons Den with more investors ;)

    They asked for £325k and got about £414k from a dozen or so investors ....so it's not realy debt as such just start up costs
    It's not just about the money
