Three 321 SIM charges increase 200% to 500% from 16 Feb 2021

1p mobile is basically £2.50 a month. I usually use £2.50 a year. I have 4 of the free data sims.

That is interesting could you explain why it is 2.50 a month

With 1p mobile You have to top up £10 every 4 months to keep the sim active,but the credit does not expire

Wow I ported over to Lebara today, that's confirmed my choice to leave. 

£2.50 p/m 3 months then £5p/m. Unlimited texts & calls, 100 International minutes and 2gb data.

I've always been PAYG but we've recently cancelled our home phone calls boost. Too expensive for little use.

It's so much nicer using mobile for calls (dial, put speaker on then put phone nearby, not holding it up pressed to ear, I have ME the energy saved counts!) , and with a SIM deal I don't have to worry about the cost/ how long the call is taking. 

Should have changed ages ago!

Have a look at 1pmobile (uses EE network)...

1p Mobile: everything you need to know (uswitch.com)

No good if you are a low user, have to top-up £10 every 4 months.

Lebara is the way to go, last month was even better.
At £2.50 for first six months, then £5, but for 1000 mins. 1000 texts and 100 international and 2Gb. Plus they gave you £10.
So if  relatively low user it suits and for the first year costs £35 so £2.84 per month. and of course you can bail at any time.

re 1pmobile - uswitch says below, implying that you could for example only top up £5 every 120 days or has this changed?

"Once you’ve joined for £10, as long as you top up every 120 days you’ll retain all your credit and keep your account active. There’s no minimum top-up."

If you've stacked up £50 of credit on 321 then they are under no obligation to give you a refund if you port away.
I'm baffled as to why anyone would add so much credit? That £50 would buy you nearly a year on Lebara,

The unlimited offer comes from an MSE page as an "MSE blagged" offer if anyone is interested, second in table :

I also got £10 credit for porting in my number, and so far signal is way better than Three, though as they are the worst generally for that not a surprise.

That appears to be incorrect as the minimum top up is £10
