    Can anybode help? I am a very light user,only useing whats app and maybe 2 calls a month, Is there a PAYG sim that will not run out every month.


    Either should do ....

    3. PAYG Which doesn’t run out. Once initial £10 topup expires you can top up £5 online.

    Or

    O2 Classic PAYG which has the same 3/2/1 rates as 3 but needs a chargeable ‘event’ (just send a text or your 2 calls should do it) every 6 months..

    Suggest she gets a free sim for each to test signal quality wherever is best.

    I have a 2nd phone and it's Three pay as you go SIM stays active with making a call once every 3-6 months.
  • I Just managed to get my EE contract reduced from £18.35 a month to £10 a month (2GB, unlimited mins and texts) :D

    Oops, you probably won’t be happy to hear that EE are now doing 10GB, unlimited mins and texts for £10 :p

    Made me happy when they offered it to me though :j:j:j

    Thumbs up for SMARTY. I have got SIMs from them for three kids now and I really love the straightforward approach and easy to understand billing. Best of all I can top up whenever at one flat rate of £1.25/GB and the data rolls over so you can use every MB you pay for. The account page show exactly how much data gets used each day too. Highly recommended.

    hi, i have a vodafone red entertainment plan. £26pm for unlimited mins and texts, 25GB data and spotify premium. i called to renew my package today, guy said he can do same package for £27. A quid more. in previously years they've offered me discounts but this year its the same price as their general online price.

    where else has got a good package like this but at a better price?
  • Hi all,

    I signed up to a Plusnet deal via uSwitch (and in the MSE weekly email) in September that was £10 per month for 6 GB, 2500 minutes and unlimited texts (at least, that was the basic offer).

    I was sure you got more data for being a Plusnet Broadband customer (maybe 7.5GB) but I can't remember. I thought I was signed up to the Mate's Rates version of the tariff, but I spoke to them on live chat and they only knew about current deals, not old ones.

    Thanks!

    You got a really good deal.

    I just rang them now as my account is within its last month and I renegotiated from my current £13 a month deal to £10 and my allowance has gone up from 5gb data to 6gb (both old and new deals are with Unlimited mins and unlimited text).

    i rang them and he started saying your on a good deal and i explained i had gone to a comparison site and i could get 6gb + unlimited mins & text with Vodafone for £10 and he said OK i will match it.


    im not a big data user (under 1gb monthly), however your 10gb beats my 6gb :beer:

    I told them about the deal IDMobile were doing at the time which was 9GB a month for £10 and they then offered the 10GB plan as a price match. I would have been happy with 9GB but they don’t have a plan with 9GB so was offered 10GB :p.
