​Just be aware that as a mobile company it is a statutory duty to have lousy customer service

Lol, yes just got the email. Next provider please!

Good while it lasted:

Been quite pleased with mine. The porting process didn't go smoothly, but was only 2 days worth of oddness until my number sorted itself out.

Also pleased with the service. My phone only ever displayed '4G' on Three, now get '4G+' on TPO/EE and the download speeds are 3 times that screenshot above. For £7, can't complain.

your tpo 4G is slower than my Life Mobile 3G, interesting

Looks 4G to me, still EE though:

4g+ working fine for me...

says nothing about 4g... actually it's 3g

and only 1GB data... damn, was hoping to use this as a price match

expired now, its up to £8.99 ?

​have u ever tested it'sdownload/upload speed?

Yeah, just noticed that. I paid 6.99 and my next month bill is invoiced for 6.99 too. Will stay with them until they increase their price for me.

It's 4G showing up on my phone, so it's confirmed they're running on 4G signal.<3

As no one seems to know if this works on my tablet, I guess I'll stick with the 2GB EE sim I've been buying on Ebay for £4.50 for 30 days

Expired... now shows 1GB and 8.99 :disappointed:

Can't remember exactly, but not long; 3 or 4 working days ish.

how long does it take for the sim to arrive? Thanks

I ordered the SIM. I can call people but the internet just doesn't seem to be working, and when I try ringing them, nobody bothers to pick up, despite me waiting a good 15 minutes or so...

EDIT: It's fine now, in the APN settings, I put the APN as "tslpaymnet" instead of "tslpaygnet"...

Are they open right now? I tried ringing 500 but it does't seem to work, the phone just hangs up straight away...
I think maybe it's my SIM that's not working. It shows that I'm getting reception, and my account is showing I've got minutes etc but I don't think it's working.

Yes, once you've registered the new SIM, phone them up with your PAC code.

Is it possible to transfer my number?

If this was 3GB this would have been better.

Yeah, decided I am going to call iD mobile now and say I am on TPO x plan and have been overcharged, just to settle this and see if iD mobile support TPO now.

You're commenting on a TPO thread again.

Should've gone to Specsavers!

Asda customers had a right problem when they moved network provider a while back. Took some customers weeks to sort out.

If TPO migrate to Three from EE, all those customers who have phones locked to EE will be in trouble as they wold have to change to an unlocked handset or one locked to Three !

Can anyone tell me if this would work on my tablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab S?

I tweeted TPO to ask about their migration to the 3 network, no details finalised as of yet
https://twitter.com/TPOuk/status/712605633615380484

No, you don't get an iPhone with it. It's a sim-only deal, albeit worded poorly by Mobiles.co.uk.

T&Cs say no tethering on the monthly plans. :disappointed:

.. and tethering is allowed on Life too.

Life Mobile (EE) is probably a better bet. 4G coming in the next few weeks for an additional fee, probably a couple of quid extra. I only know this because they asked me to take part in a survey recently and showed a mock up of the new 4G service charges. Great UK customer service as well.

Thanks - just ordered this, seeing as Three are ending my contract from under my feet :smiley:

This plan doesn't seem to be anywhere on site - the link just redirects to the homepage... can anyone help?

I was with TPO up until a few months ago, when they changed their pricing structure, what I had would have gone from £12 to over £25. Obviously, I left, as I am sure many others of their customers did. I didn't have any other problems with them and customer service was fine.

Stupid way to run a business though, they could have kept me as a customer - and upgraded me to a 4g plan now they are available.

Who's network do they use ????

Bill always is over what they state. I have the 6gb allowance unlimited text and minutes. Bill came to £32! Apparently I went over the allowance but they cannot tell me by how much. So paying £20 for going over an allowance that they cannot tell me or prove or showed in the bill!
This company is a fraud and talking to their customer service is like taking to a someone that has been sectioned!
Do yourself a favour and avoid! Or try it for a month to see how bad they really are!

Price wise it's a good deal but TPO are the biggest frauds ever. Took several months to cancel a contract with them. They had a "3 months low price" deal when I joined... They didn't state it was 3 calendar months which meant 2 months and 2 days for me, not 3 months. Started charging high price and when I noticed, I had to pay 2 months full price as I was too late to downgrade it.

Ah yes then, avoid 3 if the signal is no good. I generally avoid Vodafone as had poor customer service and issues trying to leave when I was with them a few years ago and don't want that hassle again. Also I only started to get cold calls after I left Vodafone so am fairly sure they sold my mobile number to third parties. I currently have a Giffgaff sim for free calls to other Giffgaff members and I top up a tenner every three months for that, use the credit slowly on pay as you go, and for data have a Freedompop sim which the free 400MB covers my needs as I am in wifi coverage most of the time. Still, this is a good deal to me and would be tempting if I need more minutes or data.

OP please update post to note that 4G is available from July. I think it's 3G till then

i wish there was a deal like 5 gb with no minutes or text for £5 a month

​Ha. ..wouldn't try their ttwitter page, left a message them asked to PM them details so I replied then got a message it was to an email account not monitored. Tweeted this and no reply...not a good omen so didn't sign up. Will have a go at the TPO deal though

Staring you can't tether on here. Can anyone confirm?

http://kenstechtips.com/index.php/tethering-on-uk-networks

Signing a 3 contract may have been to push EE for 4G

4G coming in July for existing customers

https://www.thepeoplesoperator.com/4g_customers



Let me know when 4G arrives

I tried 3 just a few months a go. I've tried ID mobile more recently and my sister is currently with them and has the same problems (plus she's had some major billing problems with ID but that's another story).
Like I mentioned it's mostly indoors that I struggled getting a signal and outdoors it was OK. Personally for me, Vodafone has been the best with fast 4G speeds most places including indoors. I'm currently with them and they never seem to get good reviews from other members of HUKD!

on their Facebook page they have commented on this deal saying they are currently using ee.

ID Mobile customer support handles TPO issues? :P

em what are you saying...can you expand then?

after cashback from EE, its still £3 a month x 12mths, whats wrong with that?

ie

£ 14.99 x 12 mths = 179.88
£ 3.00 x 12 mths = 36.00

£ 179.88 - £ 36.00 = £ 143.88 savings over 12 mths

I've said it before but their customer service is absolutely appalling. I'm still waiting for them to refund the 2 months money that they continued taking from my account after I had closed it.
There's a reason it is so cheap....

Im currently looking around and found this one for £3 a month http://www.mobiles.co.uk/best-deals.html

£7.33 Topcashback. They pay out VERY quickly in my experience.

do TPO cap?

I've had no bad experience with receiption or service from TPO. The line on the website and in the auto-response is that existing customers will have access to 4G from July. However, I used the customer service form to request being moved to this plan and received a quick reply that it has been changes.

"We are just writing to confirm that your request for your TPO plan has been received.

From the 1st of April your new TPO plan will be 2GB of 4G data, 600 mins and unlimited texts for £6.99 p/month"

4G has been coming for over 5 months has it arrived yet? From my experience simply 3G only

If you have tried them recently then I agree you have to stick with what you can get a signal on. However if you tried them a couple of years ago, or on 2G/3G but now have a 4G phone, I would suggest trying again with a free PAYG sim just to be sure. I used to have that same problem, but the 3 signal in my area is now great. In fact I have some areas where there is no EE signal and one area I know has no signal on any network for 2G/3G, however I did get a Three 4G signal there.

With the Three-O2 merger still a strong possibility and the promises of even more investment if it goes ahead, the outlook of putting an MVNO on Three seems good.

i will say hot

TPO are switching to 3 if they haven't done so already

Question -

Does TPO allow tethering with this 2Gb ?

Does EE allow teathering with their data offers?

Thanks

Question to anyone that's used this. Is it as easy to change plan or stop the rolling contract as it is on Giffgaff?

Excellent deal, thanks OP. Already on their 500MB 3G deal for £4.99 for my iPad. Will switch ASAP.

Thanks..... But seems am doing something wrong as I still cannot see the plan....scrolled down and it just shows me all the unlimited talk plans and the 2gb one comes up as Noble plan at $25.

Great deal!!!!

Cannot see the plan....Am I clicking on wrong link?

4g service is coming from their partnership with network 3.

Looks good if you can get ee signal I can't where I work 12 hrs a day so not for me ..

I always had decent customer service from TPO porting in, porting out and a couple of queries. Plus they always ran decent Twitter competitions, and randomly sent Pizza Express vouchers to my email :smiley:

WOEFUL customer service. The worst (and I've encountered some terrible cs) I've had! Took 3 weeks to port a number, tried charging for another month after its cancelled

Great price, Shane they don't have a 4GB 4G deal yet. That's my minimum requirement.

Come back OVIVO - barely any minutes or txts...but at least it was free !

Just be aware that TPO's customer service isn't great - it's not terrible, but i've asked them multiple times to look in to an issue surrounding my mum's data sim and they still haven't.

Either way, this does tend to show Virgin up somewhat as they also use EE but have made no inroads to providing it at all.

You might want to update your description from "600 mins and unlimited minutes" to "600 mins and unlimited texts" :-)

Indeed, its easy to get a PAC code and change providers, so you have to make hay while the sun shines.

:laughing:

They've been perfectly pleasant and capable whenever i've had to deal with them - they even let me pay for my mum's sim for a year up front as well which was handy, but their technical support is where the pain in the **** really is :smiley:

Best deal iv'e seen.Will there be free eu calls like 3 do.

Seems like a great deal. Checking out the website trying to see if it's too good to be true and not an introductory offer or similar, but as far as I can tell that's the standard price.
