    Currently using ID (CPW) which uses 3 and have no issues whatsoever.

    Will probably be going back to 3 shortly as they are now better value than ID.

    Why not look at Smarty? which offer PAYG via 30 day bundles.

    Prices are a bit meh but the absolute killer is NO international roaming.

    Thanks for the heads up anyway.

    You can get a (usually although not today) better £5 rolling monthly contract from Plusnet or if you're sticking with Sky use their £5 deal and get data rolled over with unlimited minutes & texts.

    It's horses for courses, the lsck of international services is of no relevance to me, but I understand it's importance to others.

    looking at the offers I cant understand why anyone would choose say a £10.99 a month 12 month sim only from ee for 250/unlimited/250mb
    instead of a payg from asda for £7 a month with 300/unlimited/1gb?
    is there any reason you would choose ee over asda?
