Ive got this a its spot on,if the price is kept ,happy customers will stop,if prices rise then people will move just like i have from giffgaff who got greedy.keep up the good work post office

Damn that's taking the biscuit. Who's the next cheapest but with at least 500mb data

Does the price of the £5 sim bundle stay the same?

Yes its all down to greed,get the custom then stuff them ,hoping people stay as they cant be bothered with the sim swap over

I'm also amazed as to how they've bumped up the price of the 2GB bundle from £10 to £15. That makes it exactly the same as EE's £15 Everything Pack - and given that EE is 4G and the PO is 3G only, it would be insane not to go down the 'real' EE route.
However, granted the £15 bundle from the Post Office has 500 more minutes than the equivalent pack offered by EE, which means the only reason why you'd pick the PO over EE is if you're a heavy talker.

Post office changing 2 gb to 1 gb from march 2016 ,i said good deal as long as they didnt get greedy ,time to jump ship again as the post office has got greedy,the same as giffgaff did .Bad move post office.shame on yous

My wages dont go up over night ,why do your prices

Cant get mine to work on 3G, tried everything, APNs the lot, it works in a 2G phone for calls but put it in a 3G slot and it only has the roaming symbol on. The EE christmas sim works fine in the same slot so dont know whats wrong.

A question for current user's. You top up, say £10 and then select your bundle ie £5. It will automatically renew as long as their is credit on the top-up card every 30 days. What happens if you dont and the £10 is used and you leave it, is the sim still active to receive phones calls and text thereafter? Can i just top-up when I need to?

Easiest way to find the best deal is to use https://www.mobilephonechecker.co.uk/payg-sims/
It's the only Ofcom-accredited PAYG SIM price comparison out there.

That's a stupid deal. Cashback is via redemption and if you go over your data allowance by as little as one kilobyte you'll get stung with a charge of £6.50. And another £6.50 for every 250MB you go over.

This Post Office SIM is truly PAY AS YOU GO and is not in any way comparable to those Vodafone cashback deals via mobiles.co.uk. No bills, no contract, no hidden charges, no hassle.

How about this -

Setting up Low Balance top-up with My Mobile Account
Select Top-Up on the main menu then choose Low Balance Top Up from the menu below
Next choose Add a Low Balance Top Up
Select mobile number, payment card details and amount
Select confirm

Just so people are aware - Post Office put a content block on their sims for data usage / web browsing
Their FAQs say you can call to get this removed (which would be similar to TalkTalk, GiffGaff ...)
BUT you'll find that you cannot remove the content block

To answer some people's questions - while the bundle will renew automatically, this will only happen if you have sufficient credit and I'm not aware of anyway to top up your credit automatically once a month. So unless you can afford / prefer a bulk top-up, you'll still need to take action on a monthly basis.

This is unlike GiffGaff (if I recall correctly) where the bundle renewed automatically and the money taken from your account automatically - so you want to continue 'as is' no action is needed.

Looks like tethering and using the SIM in a tablet or MiFi device is allowed! (But that doesn't surprise me knowing that they use the same APN as EE.)

How's the Internet connection with post office? I've got vectone and I'm not that happy with the slow connection at times. Vectone £10 deal that gives unlimited everything uk.

iD Mobile deal is the same bundle as the £10 PO one posted granted, but for the slight possibility you might get 4G with them, you're stuck on the 3 network and iD mobile have terrible reviews...Potato Patata! I personally think this is the best £10 Sim deal with 2gb of data and 500mins :smiley:

Hey, nice to see folk appreciating the deal :smiley: I see the dreaded Vodafone has been mentioned. I was with them for quite some years and have to say wherever I went in the country, trying to get 3G coverage was virtually impossible. Then went to Virgin who use EE and virtually everywhere I go now, I get 3G.

It comes out of your top up credit. If you haven't topped up enough in advance for the bundle to renew after the old one expires then the bundle won't renew.

No £10 2gb option there though...

Just get the Vodafone sim only deal for £5.50: unlimited minutes and texts and 2gb of 4g data on mobile.co.uk

If there is no direct debit how does it renew automatically?

Depends on your usage but I get your point. Anyone point me to a sim only deal similar to this but with 4g? Sorry to hijack the deal

No 4G, cold for me.

Not really. No Direct Debit, no failed payment charges, no unexpected bills, no credit check, cancellable anytime online or by text without having to call them. The list goes on.

We've been on post office mobile for around 6 months so far so good, 4 mobile phones in our family all on these bundles so can't be bad! :sunglasses:

Not really the same thing at all, as with a contract you get a bill each month and any out of bundle charges get lumped on there (and usually you get credit checked), so potential for an unexpected high bill, with payg it will just use your airtime balance so worst case you'll use any credit you have.

Vodafone. Sorry. Writing this on my phone :disappointed:

good deal Thanks :smiley:

Voted hot, but for clarity I think this is a 30 day bundle on a PAYG sim rather than a 30 day rolling contract - not quite the same thing☺

Good deal for kids on £5 heat added

Free calls to voicemail (using credit) gets heat from me. Looks like a great deal for 3G users.

Buffdude01 the virgin deal is £15.30 a month, it works out to £5.50 by using cash back over the 12 month period. It would then go back up to the full £15.30 after the first year is over.

Three is £20 unlimited data. For me this Post Office deal is luke warm.

Who needs 1000s of texts these days with whatsapp etc

:laughing::laughing::wink:

Ive got this a its spot on,if the price is kept ,happy customers will stop,if prices rise then people will move just like i have from giffgaff who got greedy.keep up the good work post office

Seems to have reduced text messages from 5000 to 3000, still loads though for a normal person

Good deal! As its on EE network has anyone tried to tether? They seem more relaxed about it than other networks in there push for domination

not bad

Seems like a good deal

Have some heat - this looks like a great deal :wink:

Moved from TPO to the post office last month, smooth transfer over of number (less than 24hrs), decent tariff plus the free credit you get every month acts as bit of a buffer zone. Happy so far.

Could be just what I've been looking for - thanks woo7dy. :wink:

Heat added :smiley:
Just ordered sim and will get the £5 deal = 500mb data 250 mins.
Tried to signup to life mobile earlier, they couldn't even get me started by taking my money, told me it was my bank at fault - it wasn't!

Spotted this deal myself. SIM ordered. Seems quite decent for non 4g phone users and those who don't mind EE network. Heat added.
