Anyone use those 90 SIMs and port number every 90 days

Tyler_Du

I'm considering using those 90 SIMs with (for example) 10gb of data & minutes/texts, only thing is I'd like to be able to retain my existing mobile number, which I guess means porting every 90 days. Doing this I can get 3.3gb of data, 100 mins & 400 texts for £5 pm. Anyone else do this?

Can you port though? I thought that only applied when moving to a new network provider?

Maybe they'd transfer (rather than port) one SIM on EE to another.... but would they allow this every 90 days?

I think to keep the same number on the same network you port out to another SIM/network and back again.

Well I did get one of the SIMs, it had 10GB of data and £15 of credit on it, I used it in a tablet for a month (used just over 2gb of the data) and then decided to use it in my phone and get my current number ported over. Even thought I was told that the port wouldn't affect the data on the SIM, the remaining 8gb was lost. A quick call to support and the FULL 10GB (for 90 days) was reset. Basically for £5 pm I'll be getting 3.3gb of 4g data and 100 mins / 400 txts. Result.

This looks like an excellent deal, especially as unused allowances can be carried forward to the 2nd and 3rd months. But are you allowed to tether ? This reviewer did, but might have been throttled as a result (can you get throttled only from a certain mast?):

"Does exactly as per the
description.
50 Mbytes of data to get you
started.
Register an email address
and the 10 Gbytes becomes
available at the click of an
"activate now" button.
A few days later £15 of
calling credit is added.
Use the link [...] to see
remaining credit and data.
The SIM card also allows my
phone to be used as a wifi
tethering hotspot to my
laptop. It also works in my
unlocked 3G MiFi unit.
I live in a 3G only coverage
area but speed is superb. In
a 4G area, virtually instant!
HOWEVER, a few weeks later
and it's become VERY slow
in PL19 8RD area but fine
everywhere else. EE say
service is normal. Are EEgo
slowing down these SIMs in
your home area where most
data is used so you can't
use them instead of landline
broadband?"

The data does last for 90 days, any mins / texts you buy using the credit last for 30 days.
I did tether using the sim in a phone but not enough to notice any slow down / capping.
