Some Life Mobile deals have been posted and people commenting they are not as good as last month. 3Gb + 3000 mins + unlimited txt still available through Broadband Choices at £10.45 rather than USwitch whose prices have went back up.
I have 2 Life Sims. Signal as good as my EE work phone. 3G is good and an improvement on Virgin. Next to no difference when I have compared it with O2 4G. Customer Service have been brilliant. I called them to port and to switch deals with no problems.
Thanks to jimbo19 for reminding me about tethering

I'm in ID and not had a problem, i was lucky i got on to there initial promotion 2000 mins & unlimited data for 20 bucks pm. Id piggy backs on 3's network which is good where i live so it was a simple choice. Been with them 1.5 years and never called customer services, their app is excellent 100x better than 3.
On the other hand I put my mum on Life about 4 months ago, as they had the best signal where she lived and there as a cheap deal on uswitch. They didnt have a app and the website information was out of date so she had to call to port her number etc. Great service over the phone.
For me Id is beter cause i dont have to speak to anyone and can do it all myself, but if you like taking to people go for life..... At the end of the day it all comes down to signal so go down the supermarket and buy a load of £1 sim card stick them in your phone and see which one works best.

How can you compare 500 mins to 3000 mins????
I looked at ID but the reviews and comments about their customer service put me off. I have 2 sims and dealt with Life for porting and switching deals. Answer phone right away and very good to deal with. Switching deal was simple but apparently with ID it's a nightmare and you have to get a new sim.

Ignorant comment. I was on Life and got much better 3g speeds than I now get on 4g on Vodafone.
Wish I'd stayed with them.

even if the service is the red carpet treatment how often do you actually need to call these people......and the have to accommodate you anyway it's not as if they can refuse you as a customer.
The 3g is very good I don't see the snobbery around 4g the 3g is faster than a lot of people's home broadband and that's a bad thing apparently. what exactly do you need 4g for that a good 3g connection won't do.........
Forgot about that. When I was getting my new broadband modem fitted I tethered my laptop and was getting 20Mb/s which is faster than my brother gets for his home broadband.
