Vectone mobile any good?

I am not sure that it's 'without charges' for Pay Monthly. I'd expect to get charged for the next 30 days even if switching earlier.

Re £10.000, what exactly is confusing? It's a decimal point, i.e. £10, not £10,000=£10000.

Ok.
Thank you all for your explanations. I've really thought £10.000 was 10 000 as I expected to see just £10. Anyway, everything is less confusing now. I'll see how I'll manage with Vectone to cancel if needed.

The old saying "if it looks too good to be true...", Vectone UK (http://www.vectonemobile.co.uk/pay-monthly-sim-only-deal.aspx) appear to offer an incredible deal of unlimited UK calls, unlimited USA and Canada, unlimited EU land line, unlimited data and texts... All for £15 per month.

They appear to not be happy about using VOIP (Skype, Viber and maybe Apple iMessage, etc.), nor do they allow tethering. I'm not sure about using a VPN either (which would stop them knowing you were using Skype, etc.)

The lack of Skype and tethering would be a deal breaker for me, but for many uses it looks pretty good. What's the catch?

Vectone is crap, and the CS is very bad.



I had £10 bundle calls, text and data unlimited, but sometimes if the call went more than 20 min the phone would cut off, it would come as invalid network.

If I use the data to watch YouTube it would cut me off.
Called the CS and got nowhere, so the sim went in the bin.

Now I have EE sim and I don’t have any problems.

Thanks kingrulzuk, I suspected it was too good to be worth considering.

just noticed that the unlimited data bundle for £10 is now only 5GB - i had no notice of the change and cant find out when it was introduced - can a mobile provider change a tariff without notice
