I asked Plusnet for the 3gb unlimited calls and texts de fall £6, and was offered 2gb 500 minutes, with an upgrade after 1 month to 3gb unlimited everything.


EE wouldn't match it to keep me, so I'm switching this week.

Is that still for £6 ?

I have just moved from EE to Plusnet on a sim only deal promoted by MSE, where the plan comes with £60 prepaid MasterCard. However I’ve not received any email or confirmation that this is on its way. I since called Plusnet and very unconvincingly was told I had to wait 5 weeks. Does anyone have any experience of this promotion?

Find a link to the ad and see what it says about the prepaid card in the terms and conditions.

Answered my own question by ringing plusnet and they have confirmed that this is actually true.

I'm signing up for two of their 1.5gb, unlimited mins/text deals for £6.50 for the first month and then they will subsequently upgrade them to the 3gb of data and unlimited mins/texts for £6 from month two onwards.

Tried to haggle and get the reward cards but no luck

Switched from Three to the £10 a month Plusnet deal with £40 cashback which MSE have had in the e-mail for the last few weeks. Despite their signal checker saying signal would be very good everywhere I use my phone, I had no signal at home, no signal at work and, despite having signal in the centre of Leeds, every time I tried to use an app needing a data connection I got a notification saying my data had been temporarily disabled by my operator.

When I contacted Plusnet about this they said they couldn't guarantee service anywhere, and especially not in the city centre as "due to the nature of technology with mobile signals usually more built up areas can have issues in receiving stronger signal". My phone was unusable so I asked them to cancel my contract. Luckily, I was still within the 14 days cooling off period.

Going to the mobiles.co.uk website, Spotify (and others) are only available on 2 year qualifying contracts so I'm not sure MSE are correct unless it's a MSE blagged deal beyond the extra £10 cashback. Contact Mobiles.co.uk at mobiles.co.uk/help and also MSE at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/site/site-contacts/

Is the 100GB deal a Red Entertainment plan? Have you tried to fill in the form for it on the Vodafone website?

Edit

I can’t open the Mobiles.co.uk link but looking at the Vodafone site, the 100GB plan appears to be a Red Extra plan, so doesn’t get the entertainment add-ons.

Went for the Vodafone 100Gb deal but via Quidco, came up with £84 cash back but also accepted the MSE voucher. So if Quidco tracks also that’s effectively £240 - £84 - £10 - £10 = £136 for year or £11.33 a month effective

I took up the Smarty deal. It is not what it appears. Any international call / text / MMS has to be paid for - over and above the monthly payment. Even if the other country is part of the EU system, like Switzerland. So, if you use Smarty to contact friends or relations in the EU area, you will be paying extra each time (10p per minute). For me at least, it is probably not worth it. It took me several days to get to the bottom of why I couldn't make call etc, as their response system is not always in real time, and they might get back to you the next day, or the next, or.....
