I've posted the info a few times now, but ok, one more time :stuck_out_tongue:

1. Go through Quidco
2. Once on the life mobile site, copy and paste that link into your browser, and click go (to bring up this deal)
3. Then just checkout as normal

If you've clicked on the uswitch link at anytime this won't work unless you clear all your cookies etc. first

There is a workaround to get Quidco on ALL of these referral type deals. This deal should track at £8.

Ask the provider you're leaving for your PAC number. Once your Life SIM is live, give them a call and give them your phone PAC number and the phone number you want to keep. It will take a couple of days to complete the transfer. I transferred from Virgin Mobile (another EE piggyback) with no problems.

I'm really happy with the customer service. You are quickly put through to a UK-based call centre.

Heat added. I have this deal and I will say that LIFE are excellent; thoroughly recommended with the only caveat being that they are owned by EE whom will soon be owned by BT :disappointed: However, if you can cope with that, then this company are currently unbeatable in my opinion.

No, lowest is £1

I take it that there's no high street affilation anymore? I'd set my Mother up with Life Mobile but jumped ship when Phones4u went under. Never had any issues with them but it was handy knowing that she could go in store to sort things out.

Has anyone had any experience with monthly, rolling contracts? How much notice do they have to give if they're going to alter your plan - increase the price/drop allowances etc?

How does clicking on your link save me money, when compared to using the uswitch link? It's the same price unless you can tell me how to use it to go through TCB/Quidco?

Hi yes this will go straight in an EE iPhone no unlock needed ! Just swapped from EE to Life mobile on the £6 deal so far Superb !!!

Great ... But porting your number is a total nightmare if your already with EE/post office

C4arlJenko to Smaybelline

13 Jan 16 #22

If you ring them up they should send you an email to set your phone upto ee 3g network. I was also without 3g network for 3 weeks, I rang customer services and it was sorted within 20 mins.

PESfan to Smaybelline

14 Jan 16 #36

I wouldn't say its a nightmare, but it's definetaly not as smooth as when you're coming from a provider which doesn't belong to EE. I ported a number from 02 and the whole process from ordering the sim and having the older number ported took 5 days. However, when porting a number from TPO which belongs to EE it took around 10 days, but this was because it was done over the holiday season and there was less working days.
On the positive side, the costumer support is very helpful and I've never waited more than 2 minutes to talk with an operator.
Best provider I've tried so far, didn't even had to change my internet settings.

I am with them. Have to say that customer service is great. Ive phoned them a couple of times and go through to an advisor straight away. No issues with reception.

To get the deal with no fuss. Just give them a ring and say you saw it on uswitch. They will give you for £6. The voice mail service is inclusive of your minutes. The Internet settings I had to manually type in (not sure why) but it's all working

Got this deal through uswitch for my dad and sister, transferred dads number from tmobile and it got transferred over with 48 hours no problem. Definitely recommended!

decanay

13 Jan 16 1 #17

Not personally. But I did the ID Mobile deal, which worked for me, and two friends signed up to this life deal on Sunday, both tracked at £8.

Edit: I was wrong, they went for the £10 life deal, so Quidco maybe less on this one.

plewis00

13 Jan 16 #20

We have the PAC and I've done this loads with other networks but I remember in the past, for example, Vodafone you *had* to connect with the PAC, you couldn't use the temporary number and do it later, O2 was within the first 14 days only or never, etc. but thanks for confirming you do it this way, just had to be sure!

13 Jan 16 #23

Signed up with Life last year for my Sons phone great price but never got to see if it was any good because they simply had no idea what was happening with my account. After 3 weeks of them saying it should be activated within the next 24 hours I cancelled it and went with ID.
Nearly 6 months on they keep billing me despite telling me everything has been cancelled. (Although this months bill was in credit :S )

Timmylad1975

I got this deal just after Christmas and moved over from giffgaff. My number was ported quickly and I've spoken to customer service a few times and they are excellent.
At £6 a month for 25 hours of calls and unlimited texts it really is excellent value.
Hope they have the capacity to offer a stable and reliable data experience with all the new customers that are joining, unlike giffgaff who's speeds compare to that of 90's dial up

Great deal, just signed up. Thanks!

Did your PAC code start TSL, any that do have to go through another porting team and mine has took since the week before Xmas to get ported and they haven't updated my internet settings - can't access internet at all (unless home at wifi) they do has great cust svs and compensated me for the issues but it's still ongoing.....

I took the 3000 mins/3GB for £10 a few weeks ago

Well impressed with their customer service and rapid porting of my mobile number

Sometimes though texts fail to send and I have to click to resend. This works every time though

Do you have to call them to turn voicemail off? I am unable to turn it off in my mobile settings. I can't see any reference to this online

jco83 to MORE4

14 Jan 16 #30

I also get texts that fail and I have to resend.
Also texts take alot longer to send (from the moment I click send to when it's sent)
Anyone else get this? :/

Anyone who is with these can you tell me what the 3G speeds are like?

dark_shadow to Wotan

14 Jan 16 1 #35

It's really great for £6. I've been getting according to speednet about 8-9mb which is plentiful for youtube/maps/web browsing.

Bhooska96

14 Jan 16 #34

I get 28mb/s at home. It's faster than my Sky Broadband. Haven't noticed any discernible difference in speed compared to 4G. It's all just marketing guff I think

Wotan to Bhooska96

14 Jan 16 #43

I'm currently with tesco. 3G is around 2-4mb. 4G is around 35-40mb. So gigantic difference.

But I know life use EE who I assume have much better 3G speeds than Tesco who use O2.

Need to find someone local on EE and get a speed test.

timj13

14 Jan 16 #37

So LIFE mobile is much better than ID mobile?

Do they both piggy back on the THREE network?

JamesDoh1980 to timj13

14 Jan 16 1 #39

LIFE piggybacks EE... iD is on 3.

jav1900

14 Jan 16 #38

Yes me too - texts have to be resent quite often

Otherwise fantastic deal - 3G is fast - have speed tested and get upto 20 mb/s so v good for general surfing

klopikxda

14 Jan 16 #57

Thanks a lot OP - I just called Virgin to tell them about this deal and they made a price match to:
1250 minutes, unl.texts and 500MB data for £6 what is not a huge saving but better what I had before : 250 minutes, unl.texts and 250MB - the deal for a £5 on their website.

So they offered me a deal from their website that cost there £8 for £6 what is great for me because I really prefer to deal with Virgin customer service than BTs or Life.

I was told by CS that they can offer max £2 loyalty discount so if someone wants to try - go for this.

Decided to switch to these from Tesco mobile to the 3000 minutes and 3GB tariff for 10 pounds. All tracked out using TCB. For some reason both the SIMS have tracked at £30.30 each. Will be nice if it pays that out.

19 Jan 16 #76

I am moving from Virgin. Contacted them direct and asked if they could do the uswitch deal over the phone. They had no problems with this. He confirmed that it includes voicemail and they are switching to 4G data next week. Efficient with taking the order.

22 Jan 16 #86

TCB cancelled also but it's never a given.

If you are already with someone whom uses EE network ( I am/was with The Peoples Operator) it takes 5 days to port your number. Something to do with similar port codes that slows things down a bit. Shouldn't be an issue as you pay till the end of the month anyways.

jo121

22 Jan 16 #87

Just quick note....you will start getting ee spam messages to upgrade...what's that all about.

I wonder if that's who rang me. I have been called twice (and refused to answer) even though I haven't given anyone the number as a plan to port over in a couple of weeks.

Joshm74

22 Jan 16 #89

Got my SIM on Tuesday, gave them my PAC on Thursday (over the phone) and got the number ported over on Friday - no issues whatsoever. So far very happy. Was coming over from GiffGaff.

EDIT: TCB declined as well :disappointed:

25 Jan 16 #90

I'm overseas at the mo, looking at this deal for my Mother who's just about to cancel with 3 (the best they've offered is to match what she's on but to go to a monthly contract). I normally just set things up a week before a contract ends, but could I set this up in advance, giving a start date for late Feb??

Fantastic customer service, after struggling with Vodafone's crap customer service for two years, i recently brought this deal from their site for £7.95. After seeing this deal I called them, one support agent picked up almost immediately. And within 2 mins they changed the tariff. Network is great (as it use EE).

2 Feb 16 #94

My experience hasn't been full of joy so far. Ported in a number on 11th January, and it's still not working properly (one symptom is that incoming texts rarely come through). Phoned them yet again today, and while I can't fault the courteous and professional attitude of the CS staff, if their engineers can't (or don't) fix it by Monday I'm off. :disappointed:

spitfire51

6 Feb 16 #96

Ordered one for my wife. Received SIM Monday. SIM got activated Tuesday. Rang them Wednesday just before 8pm to port her Giffgaff number over. Friday morning number ported and working.
APN settings had to be manually setup on a Sony Z2 (found the settings on MSE website). Tested income/outcome voice, txt and also data. All working okay. Therefore so far so good.
Do not understand why the likes of Giffgaff do no match this offer.

Virgin customer service hasgone down the pan especially now that they have outsourced to manila and the martians - coz they dont deal with issues that are raised neither do they call you back

i ordered life sim and it tuned up the next day - and on the occasions that i have called on 2 occasions about a query they have asnwered the phone within 15 sec even during peak hours

Gambler

9 Feb 16 #98

Didn't track for me on 2 orders.

Ordered last Thursday, one sim received the next day but still waiting for the other one.

So far reception seems to be better than O2 although the 3g speeds are very slow. I was trying to choose between Life and BT and went with life as 1GB of data and only 30 day contract.

Might switch to BT if the 3G speeds don't improve.

kick_u_in_the_nuts

9 Feb 16 #99

does anyone know what the unlock pin is for life mobile - enables you to lock the sim card so no one can use it

other netowrks are either 0000 or 1234

i called life mobile and they said that they dont have it on their network

if you put in the sim number 3 times incorrectly then you have to insert a puk code

Timmylad1975

The pin code is 1111

11 Feb 16 1 #102

nothing bad yet (have been with them about 3 weeks)., customer services are very prompt., they even called me to say porting was successful (porting from post office which also uses EE took 5 days). good amount of allowances and coverage is not bad.

LIFE Mobile = Absolutely misunderstanding! Ordered sim 21.01, pac code provided 23 or 24.01. Now, idiots blocked number which I wanted to port from PO - still no done after three weeks.... Another "problem", they do not know how to activate nano sim card :smiley: Called them today, they do not know how to help me. No one take responsibility.Only one advice - WAIT, but they do not know how long....what a circus.

How did the number porting go from Virgin?

tazeembi

17 Mar 16 #109

Reporting back...all went perfect and number switching happened in 24 hrs. You have to get them to turn off voice if you want that off as there is no option to do it from our end.

Only issue now is the billing... Paid upfront 12 March, contract started 16 March. Now they saying my next bill will be 31 march. Not sure how that works out as I would have thought Ive paid up until 16 April.
