Change over at once, and mind price, service from personal accord, just NEVER, under no circumstance be fooled about loyalty or fairness EVER at all.
All as one- they sell air and contracts to sell air...

I've not yet had notification that my contract is changing. When I do I will definitely move, possibly to Giffgaff.

I don't really need 4GB, but that's not the point. I can't believe that they've limited texts to 100 on some contracts, when it's pretty much the norm these days to offer unlimited texts.

The changes on The People's Operator PAYG are minimal - although it IS an irritation that I must now upgrade MIL's Doro phone to a 3G-compatible Doro.
Still, on the positive side at least that is a (difficult to buy for) present sorted!

eg: £10 Hero bundle = 1000 texts, 600 minutes & 1GB data.

Like others, if (or when) it no longer suits I will change BUT:
* - coverage where we are & near family etc. is good. (Will be on 3 too.)
* - customer service have been A-1 on both occasions family needed them. By phone. Competent, efficient AND UK-based.
* - Website is functional if none-too-pretty. Top-ups & bundles easy to apply.

We have been twice now "upset" by Vodafone-based MVNO's closing and - before that - suffered under two different O2-based MVNO's frequent disruption to service locally.
EE have now been bought by BT who - IMHO - I would not trust to run a market stall, never mind a multinational telecommunications services company.

So there's no surprise to me that TPO have gone with Three.
They suit our needs (as a family) - now I personally just hope that this provider will stay around longer than some of the others I have tried!

The PAYG does look an awful lot better than pay monthly, which I don't understand. I also don't see the point on being on pay monthly with them any more.

I'm inclined to go elsewhere regardless.
