Nothing wrong with 3g signal, Life Mobile customer service is very good and when I phoned to give them my pac on Sunday someone answered straight anyway. Nice to have someone who was English so could understand him without any problems plus he was friendly :smiley: 10/10 for Life Mobile sofar

I think virgins all incl package is aground 17 pounds. whats not say this deal is cracking. life mobile are really pushing boundaries on sim offers at the moment.

this is by far the cheapest . although I have heard the data is only 3g. correct me if I'm wrong.

Brilliant find OP. I signed up for the £10 uSwitch deal, tempted to change to this deal for the extra data. They're gonna roll out 4G data soon. Can't fault the signal or customer service

good price & good customer service.

Great bang 4 quid, hot for 3g users!

I moved from Virgin two months ago and they have been great. Customer services so helpful.

Customer service excellent, service great, cap works too, in Jamaica and hi my cap and straight off, aid my usage and back on.

Not bad. I'm with vodafone at the moment, signed up recently and paying £13pm for unlimited calls, texts, 20gb of 4g data and a year of netflix.

​i was thinking of changing to life mobile ,knowing customer service is good and no language barrier I've made up my mind thank you

joined life mobile yesterday, phoned answered in seconds by a clear speaking lad, Pac code given and cap set at a £1 all done within 2 minutes.
very impressed so far with life mobile !

What network do they use?

Got the previous deal with 1GB data. Generally very happy with the process of switching over and customer service.
Coverage is not as good as o2 I've had before especially indoors but main issue is that very often when trying to make a phone call I get "Network busy" error which sometimes is very annoying. I'm guessing EE customers take priority...

thanks op, heat added! :-)

Get a life...

OK finally got my SIM today. Speeds seem acceptable to me for 3G.

^ how is Hull ☺

Tempted to move from GG to these guys

Phoned them up twice this morning - both times answered within a couple of rings - very helpful and polite. 4G is coming in the next 3 months.

The sales person told be that 4G would be available to Sim only customers within 3 months.

The 3g speed on that test was excellent, puts giffgaffs 4g to shame

link not working for me. anyone got it working??

when it includes 4G, this will be a great deal (if they dont hike the price up thereon!)

Great customer service from UK call centre -- I got 2 SIMS in the last couple of months (both on the £6/pm deal), PAC codes given and numbers ported, no problems.
Signal coverage for me seems pretty good, certainly no worse than the Tesco mobile (O2) I had before, and in the town where I work it is much stronger. Yes only 3G at the moment but suits me just fine.

Excellent find!!!
However, I'm with The People's Operator (TPO), and you can get the same deal for £12.49 a month.
It's also a 30 day contract, however TPO takes forever to answer their customer service calls.
On the other hand, 10% of your monthly bill does go towards a charity of your choice.
They are also 3G, but apparently they will be moving to the 3 network in Q1 2016. Within that time frame, they will also be changing to 4G.

Looks a good deal. Any tethering allowed on their sims...?

15Mbps download and 3Mbps here in Sunderland with Life, night and day contrast to TPO with their customer service.

I got the £10 uswitch last week and so far can't fault them, haven't noticed much of a difference in speed from 3's 4g.
Would it be a case of ringing up and asking to be put on to this, as an extra 3gb of data for £3.45 is a bargain.

19.6mbs dl and 2.7 ul speed in south manchester - well worth the money

Much prefer to have good service at Life than poor service at TPO

​these use Vodafone which has crap 3g signal, unless your lucky enough to live/work in one of the few areas it is OK.

3 has good 3g coverage, I only left them because signal is rubbish at home but good elsewhere

Just 'upgraded' to this from the uswitch £10 with a 2 min call, great stuff.
thanks op

Personally I think this is a better deal - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/unlimited-minutes-unlimited-texts-6gb-data-30-day-rolling-contract-12-49-tpo-2392579

I am with virgin mobile, been with them for years, but wont move on giving me extra data for same price. stuck at 1GB, It has been years since I have moved service provider. do you phone up your own provider first to cancel, e.g mine is a 30 day rolling contract and get your pac code, or do you get this deal first, receive the sim and then phone your provider,
I don't want to mess this up.

How did you get it down to £13? It's currently £20 on their website?

I'm on the three one deal atm awaiting my shafting. any chance i can cancel now and get this?

TPO actually use EE's 3G network. I think that it's TalkMobile who use Vodafone's network.
So far I haven't had a problem with TPO's network signal or speed in my area. However, I really can't reiterate how slow their customer service is!!! By the time they answered my call I had grown a full beard lol :smile:
Once you do get through to them, they are pretty helpful. Not the best, but acceptable at the price. I do have an issue with their upcoming switch to 3's network, since most of my friends have mentioned that 3 is brilliant outside London. Inside London is a completely different story. Lousy signal, sluggish speeds and pathetic customer service are the main reasons that most of them have moved to other networks. Luckily it's only a 30 day contract. So when it does get really **** and ridiculous, time to go network shopping elsewhere.

Very temped. Currently on Three and am getting fed up with there price increases. Its not as if there service is that good. Only benefit is the going abroad but could buy a Pay as you go sim for that if needed and use it only when out of the country. I take it it should be straight forward porting over my number?

great deal but theres no way im going back to 4g.

​id mobile have some cracking deals and use 3. I just can't get signal at home

​oops :laughing: was thinking it was talkmobile!

try the following link:

Switched to life mobile last week call answered within seconds and call lasted 40 mins. the entire process was completed within ten mins but was nice to actually take to a non robot. pleasant guy to deal with. been with virgin,TPO,three, virgin and now life since jan 15 and life have the best CS i have dealt with. also nice to speak to someone based in Liverpool.

I wouldnt touch TPO again awful customer service

My mother is virgin and was planning on switching to LIFE but they gave her a better deal and free for first three months. just call and say your leaving and they may play ball and do you a deal

is life 3g or 4g?

I have probably tried that trick too many times :smiley: They say they will give me 2gb for £12 a month even after I threatened, It appears if you don't have the whole package then they don't budge, they have changed a lot with their retention deals unfortunately.

3G

tempted, though I've never gone over my 1gb of data and mins texts on Tesco

I have just completed a survey for LIFE Mobile and one of ten questions was asking about choices between certain attributes and which you would rate highest and one of the choices was "4G data at £3 -£5 a month extra" so I reckon a) they are rolling it out soon and b) that's the sort of additional cost they are going to charge. If that is the case then they are likely to make themselves uncompetitive or certainly not as attractive (although I suppose if it was an optional extra and they still kept the existing lowest price points with 3G only then that would be OK)

I just took out the 14.95 does anyone know if I ring them they will match this deal

I see no reason why not.

I am on the £10 deal, and going to ring them tomorrow to get shifted onto this one. Extra £3.45 for an extra 3GB seems fair. I know some have mentioned the Vodafone deal, but having had to deal with both company's CS this week, I would rather pay extra for Life.

....plus rolling month is always more.

Wait isn't there quidco cash back to be earned?

​acceptable!!! ha... i am on giffgaff!

​sales person at three kept telling me would upgrade my masts and get a better signal indoors!!

They also have a £6 deal, 1500 mins and 1gb data. I've just moved from Tesco as I never go over 1gb either and was paying double that.

Cheers

I am surprised that as you appear to be Jesus ..quote "my mother is virgin" that they didn't offer you a special rate

I called they changed over no problem just have to wait till 15th.

Did the survey and told them I wanted 4G for the same price as 3G, like 3 mobile. No ask no get.

Can you you underground wifi with life mobile

Can you use underground wifi with life mobile

My phone shows ee at the top of my screen and not life, is this normal?

Mine did initially. After a while it started showing Life. Might have restarted a the phone a few times.

...but yes. It should show LIFE like this:

Ah cheers, It did show life originally when I had it in my other phone (whilst waiting to get my PAC) but now in my regular phone it shows ee, was a little confused,
Still very happy with performance and signal/ speed, :smiley:

No.

I suggest doing what some other people do and just keep a Three 321 SIM card active in order to access free wifi on the Virgin Underground wifi. Costs pennies, literally!
"If you’re on Pay As You Go, you need to have used your account to make a call, send a text or use data in the last 30 days."

Quidco tracked at £30 :innocent:
If it pays or not is another matter.

Coming up with only 2000 mins now :disappointed:

Try ringing them and mentioning this link:

https://lifemobile.co.uk/Basket/SimChoice/92

That's still an hour and 6 minutes of calls per day. Blimey, you must be a right chatterbox if you use more than that!

I did think that myself. Usually it's the GB people complain about falling short of requirements.

Signed up last week online using the link- 6GB 3G tethering data , Unlimited calls/txt( checked my web login and all details correct as deal) .

Submitted my Pac code and hopefully my old number will be transfered in a few working days. For a 30 day contract its a good deal and as mentioned quidco tracked at £30.

Very easy to contact on the phone or even chat on twitter but hoping they offer 4G data in the next few months.

I'm considering switching over to Life Mobile from Vodafone - was just wanting to see how people are finding it so far for them, especially with phoning mobile numbers on other mobile provider networks. Thanks in advance

​massive speculation Re what will happen to virgin

Do they perform a credit check?

I dont think so,

http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/networks/life-mobile/sim_only_deals/ top left mentions no credit check.

Apparently they do now - it was mentioned over on a different thread and I had it today when I applied. :disappointed:

They credit checked me.

Cash back?

Old post but this deal is still on:
