Good mobile phone deal?

collinsca

Hi


I am trying to identify if I am on a good deal with my Vodafone contract and would appreciate views from others based on their deals.


My 'Airtime' charge is £20 per month, with 20GB data.


I have been with Vodafone for 25 years!



Many thanks

If you were willing to consider using a reseller and claiming cashback during the contract then you could have 70GB for £7/month. 

Even if you didn't (or forgot) to claim, the plan is £12/month.

How much data do you use? You might find you only use a small amount in which case you could pay about a third of what you are currently paying.

Thanks both.

I probably use 10GB. 

I should add i am mid-contract, but i am keen to negotiate on the basis i am a long standing customer and they should be treating me as such.

Thanks for that link - 're-selling' is new to me.... do you have a good site that i can research about this?
thanks

If you are only using 10GB then no need to be paying for more than that.  You can check your usage over past months to be sure.

MSE has a lot of info about phone deals and SimSherpa is another useful site.

Obviously it is not alwaya about price it is about the services offered, eg WiFi calling, roaming charges, perks etc.

£20 for 20GB is expensive in this day and age.

I doubt being a long standing customer counts for much these days.

'long standing customer' usually means you are overpaying

It's a sad fact today that there is no such word as loyalty in the mobile phone business. People who try to be loyal usually paying well over the odds for their service.

I'd say it would be worth contacting them to see if they can change anything based on usage but i wouldn't be surprised if they can't mid contract tbh

I also have to completely disagree with the previous post about loyalty means you're overpaying, it doesn't automatically deals can always be done at renewal
