:stuck_out_tongue:
Really

spoke to life mobile who are insisting a genuine deal for a limited period

gone for it, thanks so much alex_uk!

gone for it, thanks so much alex_uk!

Just ordered got this email..


Thank you for choosing LIFE Mobile. We’re pleased to inform you that your
order is now being processed and will be dispatched shortly.
We’ll email you again when your order is on its way. Please keep a record
of your Order Number as this will help us find your order quickly should
you need to contact us.

This should really be minus 600 lol

Dear me, too good to be true?

Renew every month

I did wonder that too. Either that or Motor Parts Direct. Hehe. X)

+1 - Surprised it doesn't have more heat considering what your getting for a pound! X)

I'm with them and I'm actually considering getting another one for my folks to use, as my Dad's on PAYG - it would work out a lot cheaper, as he's spends £20 a year on top-ups! X)

Automatically *

No cashback.:(

Was looking for a cheap deal for my spare phone. This is perfect. Many thanks op. Hope you get the heat you deserve.

​lol :face_with_monocle:

Looks like that way, but as they say, no harm in trying X)

Anyone can provide the 4gb link?
Thanks

it suspicious
3 different offer but for the same price?
why not just offer the highest tariff, no one would say no
i think i will wait
is there a possibility of the site being hacked and this offer being a phishing site?

is this for real

Swerve_79. It rolls on until you give 30 days notice to cancel. Life Mobile have very good Customer Services by the way (and UK based)

It's gone up to 29p because of RPI, so this deal is much better value for money.....

Mine just went through fine. What have we got to lose for £1?

Awesome timing!!!
I was just checking the Life website today morning and was about to place an order for the Maxi plan. Was waiting to get the PUC from my current provider....n at £1 this seems to be a no brainer .....HUKD rules :smile:

Got confirmation email and credit check fine! Worth it for your ipad as a data sim but as i said will be the 30 days and terminatebor something like that! Not worth to port ypur number over

really hot. thanks op

too good to be true this

Just signed up. Just hope that they don't notify me of a price increase after a month.

Thanks OP :sunglasses:

Thanks for this. I suppose for a £1 it doesn't really matter.

Something went wrong, please try again?

Website is back up but the link has been removed!!

1st credit check I've passed in 10 years!!

Heat for OP!

Thanks OP - great to have as a spare sim

Quick question please: My iphone 4s is locked to EE.....I am now out of contract; could I put a Life mobile SIM in the phone without needing an unlock (£20?) - thanks for any help :smile:

​all your personal details ??

links not working for me now, are they taking them down in error?

Got the same as before with my original Life contract

"there is an issue with the card payment please call the help line"

Is this dodgy? It doesn't show up on the website?

First rule of HotUKDeals Club ..... *never* phone up and talk about HoUKDeals Club :wink:

Got to be in it to win it. Welcome to HUKD!

Regards
Flea

FYI

Original Thread Deal

Get the picture?

Just keep searching on the SimChoice Number :face_with_monocle:

Have just got tried the link - worked first time and have just received confirmation email

Just to let everyone know. I took out a sim only contract (£5.95) from Life a few months ago, I just back checked the emails and it took 3 days from the initial "processing order" email until I got a "dispatch" notice.

Just saying, don't panic if you don't get a confirmation tomorrow - in fact no news in the next few days might be good news! Sit tight...

gone for it, i guess they can cancel and give 30 days notice, where did u find it OP ??

Got one thanks.

Yes it'll work along with Virgin Mobile and any other MVNO on EE network.



I had high hopes of this offer until I saw this, it's probably a special promotion for certain people so might well be cancelled

Amazing deal. Hopefully I can port my Three PAYG number to this without any issue....

What is a MPD Standard handset? Has it anything to do with Mobile Phones Direct?

Because I managed to log in successfully.

I can't believe this :neutral_face:
I've been on 500/500/500 for £5 since November
Been v happy with it

Too good to be true. Signed up anyway. :sunglasses:

sorry, phone novice! So, I could just take out the EE sim and the Life mobile one would work straight away? thank you

I used the topcashback website and it's now pending £13.20 as cashback

i ordered a few mins ago and got confirmation email

wjere does it say that the prices is only £1 a month for the first 3 months

I had that i then checked my details again and it was one of the card numbers the site never registered the last number on my card put it in then went though ok.
It was telling me to ring but like i said put the last number in and was ok and got email confirmation.

Its on the website but as its for 30 days in three months they could upp the price don't know why these companies do this! Loads of people will sign up causing the system to crash! Then everyone complains and they end up like talk talk why bother from what i hear they are quite good!

Thanks op :smile:

"SESSION TIMED OUT". Did any one experienced that when trying to buy?

​lifemobile.co.uk/Bas…117 if you think this deal is actually real .

site is jammed

How much is it after day30? Anybody viewed notice period to increase charges in T&C? Thanks.

Could the OP let us know where he/she found this tariff? Was it maybe in a review from about five years ago? :stuck_out_tongue:

Damn! I ordered the first deal then saw the other tariffs mentioned with more data. Oh well, lets see if this comes through. Thanks OP, HEAT added.

Got to be in it to win it.

wow, even better deal!

Guessing someone's going to have an interesting morning meeting

ordered thanks

Life Mobile hasn't been going for 5 years

The £5 cap is there if you go over your package or use something that isn't covered by it, you can get it reduced by phoning them up but the lowest it can go down to is £1

It's a funny old world, isn't it? 1000 degrees for an unconfirmed deal that'll probably end up a dead duck. Meh...

I'm not jealous :sunglasses:

HAHA ... very much true :wink: i dont think it will be honoured.. just a waste of credit search...

I have got 2 x sims with them at moment had it a few months and they haven't put prices up, 1500 mins, 1gb data and ulim text and im paying £6 a month, my EE contract runs out in July so gone for this

oO

I hope it is honoured...brilliant even it only lasts 30 days or over summer hols for children.
I've chosen not to apply as they want all your details and might not honour it.
Good find though OP :grin:

Thanks, convinced me not to bother.

Uh-oh, it's past my beddy-byes time. I'll leave all you hopefuls with dreams of your £1-a-month megadeal. I really hope it does pan out but don't be too disappointed if it doesn't. And don't do anything rash BEFORE it's confirmed as good either...

Just remember: What you never had - you won't miss. (_;)

Nite-nite all and best regards, Phsy.

Op, what website did you find this on??

‌ :neutral_face:

Suprised someone hasnt posed the other options for insta-heat :grin:

Was the 4gb one £1?
Can you point out where it is please?

gonna go for this £1 but site is in meltdown..

How do i order two? If tey wanna do it i'm sure its a wild goose chase but some fun either way? Anyone know how to add two sims

Super hot gone and got myself one :smile: thanks op

I have problem with my postcode it doesn't recognize
any tip?
valid postcode required

Think this trumps the shoot £1,
ordered ty Alex from the uk

Thanks gone for the 4gb one, little one used all my ee data on youtube, this should cover me even if it only for the month :smile:

Reminds me of the last really cheap sim deal. A little while later they went under :thinking:

I can't remember the name.

BTW there is a bit on the bottom of the confirmation email as follows which might be their get out of jail card ...

Please note that this email is an acknowledgement of receipt of your order and your contract to purchase these items is not complete until we send you an email notifying you that the items have been dispatched. All orders placed with us are subject to acceptance. While we make every attempt to accept your order, there are a number of reasons that may cause your order to be rejected.

Does anybody know what the charges are for using abroad?

Not 100% on this but if you're contract is up then shouldn't EE unlock it for free as the phone is your property now? I would try asking them if i were you

Site fully down now

i doubt EE will go under !

Since this isn't available on their website and only through this link, I very much doubt this will be upheld. I imagine a lot of wasted time for people who have signed up only to have he orders cancelled tomorrow :thinking:

I managed to get this tracked in Quidco for £12 cashback :grin:

C'mon, it's mentioned about 7 or 8 posts up...

‌ :grin:

The link is not working, I was just about to buy the deals and the website crashed

Nope it says £1 try clicking on it

just order..THANKS

I believe this was supposed to come out 1sr of April but was delayed by a couple of months.

It's a joke, so not worth signing up. Why would phone companies want to bust their backs for doing this?

Cold

Rip off. Ovivo was free. This is £1. That's an increase of INFINITY PERCENT!!!!

Expired, tried 4 browsers keep getting a repeated site error.

LIFE Mobile is owned by EE I believe.

Just ordered, thanks OP.

Thanks - Ordered.

UK Mins

4000

UK Texts

5000

UK 3G Data

4GB

Monthly Cost

£1

they did this last year also.. £1 for first month then reverts to normal price

Grabbed this quick sharp! It's getting hot in here :sunglasses:

And EE is owned by BT! It's a gimmick no doubt and as its 30 days they can change over but three months for a pound got to be worth it

too dear. way too dear. got the btmobile one for 66p after cashback and vouchers , no way im paying £1 for all this














jk cracking price heat added :smile:

Thanks OP. Just ordered one. Now the wait starts.....

please no dingbats call life mobile to confirm deal and wait to see if they get the bloody sim!!

It's getting hot in here !

Sorry, I realised my mistake soon after posting and deleted it, didn't think anyone would have had time to see my comment let alone reply to it. :-p

This can't be kosher. If it can't be found directly from within the sites own links, I would begin to wonder as to the 'real world' availability. These are probably special links for a particular purpose. If you change the number at the end of the link you can get all sorts of 'tariffs' such as:

/116 - 3000 mins / 5000 txts / 2GB data - £1 month (mentions a handset too.)
or
/117 - 4000 mins / 5000 txts / 4GB data - £1 month (MPD handset???.)

Some are also 'special' tariffs from Uswitch and other 3rd parties.

It looks like Mobile Phones Direct do offer Lifemobile tariffs along with their handsets. I guess the web addresses on Lifemobile are the one's MPD use when ordering Sims for the 'free' handsets. Just a theory, of course...

I will try to find that website, as I mentioned that I was reading the reviews about lifemobile, as I am looking to move to them but some reviews on Facebook are terrible, all other places are mixed.

Site went down. Probably someone tasked to work overnight to delete these pages and he pressed shift del on wwwroot.

will this renew every month?
and remain at a quid

ha ha this is not going to work. these deals are even better:
with 3k mnts & 2GB data:
lifemobile.co.uk/Bas…116

or 4k mnts and 4GB data
lifemobile.co.uk/Bas…117
‌ :sunglasses:

oO X)

Cheers, didn't have my specks on!

Mega hot !

​That'll be Ovivo Mobile....

Have ordered 1 simcard, and confirmation email has been received

Very cheap order mine thx

https://****/jB7ARd

"Error
We Are Sorry For The Inconvenience

There seems to be a problem with the sending of your confirmation email however your order has successfully been placed. Please contact the customer service for more information."

3G voting cold......

Only joking good deal voted hot!!!!!

Looks like a fun game to try all combinations at the end and see who can come up with the most minutes and data for lowest price

Anyone know what network this piggybacks off?

They'll probably accept the orders to be honest and offer it for the 1st month only

FFS, it was working fine initially then the order page glitched based on how long I was at my current address (hid the "previous address" form, though still tried to validate it) - and by the time I figured out a way to work around that the site went down during the credit check... :disappointed:

Unreal price thank you.

Great, cheers OP! Just signed my Dad up for this. Guessing he can PAC his number over when the new sim arrives?

X) NO CHANCE! :stuck_out_tongue:

HOT HOT HOT

if it all works and stays £1 each then a fantastic price for 4K mins, 5k txt, 4gb 3g data

Grabbed 2 (_;)

As usual, if it seems too good to be true...

If this pulls off then this deal is hotter than a hot thing on the hottest day of the year.

Hasn't someone already said? EE?

Gone for the 4k minutes deal too so will see what happens.

HUKD DDOS!

[/url][/img]

Awesome thnx

That £5 cap isn't anything to worry about is it? Not a hidden charge oO

LIFE Mobile is owned and operated by the UK’s biggest network - EE

My daughters been with Life Mobile for months - they are owned and use the EE network (3G only). There customer service is excellent. Very quick to answer phones.

My daughters currently on 2000 mins / unlimited txt / 1GB data for £6pm.

Just signed up for this one as well, you never know!

Hot

Just ordered 1£

I hope so, I want to do this

Not that it has been said a dozen times already or anything, or is the first line in the LIFE Mobile 'about us' section.
"We’re LIFE Mobile, a mobile phone network founded in early 2013 and run on EE – the UK’s No.1 network."

I am just guessing here, but I think they run off Verizon.

they have to give you a months notice of any changes, so that's a minimum of 2 months to start with.

got the same an hour or so ago.

I guess their email server couldn't keep up with the requests

I'll happily take 3 months for £3! Thanks :grin:

:grin: wow £1 so I'd I take a year or will be £12 cause there are 12 months in a year

thanks

Ovivo. I was one of the victims also. Lol

I've got this for the MPD sim deal:

Thank you for choosing LIFE Mobile. We’re pleased to inform you that your
order is now being processed and will be dispatched shortly.

We’ll email you again when your order is on its way. Please keep a record
of your Order Number as this will help us find your order quickly should
you need to contact us.

Let's see if it comes through!

Blimey this is some deal (hopefully won't go same way as Ovivo lol). . Have the same package on Life for my stepdaughter and thought that was good for £5.95. Not sure I needed another SIM but for £1 a month it would be churlish not to...

Damn it! Should have waited for 117 bundle!

Does anyone know if this is a 12 month contract? I don't want to PAC my number over to discover after a month it is going to be £10+

All the naysayers will be gutted when they are sent out and roll over for a year

Looks like the whole Life website has just fallen over.

Saw this when first posted, then was 'deleted' for a time. I have to say it's really annoying when that happens, as you don't know why the deal you've just signed up to was deemed to not be suitable.

Do what I did... Place another order too :wink:

From the OP: "Contract Length: 30 Days"

Monthly rolling contract.

Link doesn't work any more?

T-Mobile use to do this every now and then so it may be up held.
I had a t-mobile sim-only but it was 12mths for £1 can't remember what i got but it was something like Unlimited text, 500,mins, 1-2gb data so may be and hopefully life do the same.

Just had a Email Confirmation that its gone though and credit check was fine.

I can't see this deal on the website, only through this link. I presume that means it's not for the general public?

It's £1 a month, not £1 a year.

I know, but will it go up after a month?

just bought 2 sim for £2

gotta love HUKDers they love crashing websites!
Will they honour the deal?

just ordered hopefully should be OK got this message back


Error
We Are Sorry For The Inconvenience

only thing is customer services closed at 8:00pm

hopefully shoud be ok (used icloud.com email ??)

From the website use T&Cs

Any order you send to us for the purchase of specific goods and/or services constitutes an offer for the goods and/or services selected.We are not obliged to accept your order. We will send you a first email letting you know that we have received your order. We will then check your order, which may include performing a credit check, and decide whether to accept it. No price, or other information displayed on our site will bind us until we have accepted your order. The price you will be charged for any goods or services will be the price in force when your order is accepted by us. If we do accept your order, a contract will be created at the time we send you a second email confirming your order. You will be deemed to have received our acceptance of your offer once we have correctly sent an email to your electronic mail box.


So like others I suspect we will all be disappointed and have our orders cancelled...

First ordered 1Gb one then saw the 4Gb one, ordered that too X 2, so total 4 for the family lol. Hoping at least one would be honoured (_;)

I think knowing its owned by EE is a red flag. hot for the short run.

I got the same message earlier, kept a screenprint just in case

got to add I got it very early on during this thread, so it couldn't of ben that busy at the time (used icloud email address if that matters)

Give it a go for £1/month... most probably a pricing error? Can't find that tariff if looking manually through available options...

Great! Something to replace my T mobile contract - http://www.hotukdeals.com/freebies/free-pay-monthly-sim-t-mobile-1714290

‌ :grin:

If this extends beyond a 30 day trial period it is the hottest deal I've ever seen on here!

The link is now broken..

Mods pls expire the deal..

myaccount.lifemobile.co.uk/mya…tml is working though, for existing customers to check their account.

this is gonna get very hot superb deal

Mobile Phones Direct ?

Nobody knows, they have to notify you of any price rises leaving you free to cancel before the rise though. I would recommend NOT porting your number over unless they explicitly confirm they will honour the £1 per month for a set period of time.

Wow just signed up be rude not to, thanks op

Orsome hot

Does this automatically renew every 30 days or do you have to phone up to renew it

I was excited until I saw your post lol :disappointed:

Thanks to mugs like you, I never have to read really long boring threads.

Cheers. Keep on providing that service.

Actually, I just tried ALL the links and they are fine.

Crap! I didn't do that! :disappointed:

Found that myself by playing with the link, had to try for it.

Maybe is me only but I get a timeout session when trying to buy

can someone help me why i just signed up for this please

X) HUKD Syndrome! X) :wink:

I guess the OP stumbled onto one of these 3rd party sites and got a 'special' link that should only be available via said site. If you look at many of the other tariffs not listed on their "Tariffs" page, you begin to see that they are just holding pages for various past/present/maybe future tariffs. Some make no sense like a small tariff costing more than a medium or large one! Hehe. I'd be all over this like ham on rye if it looked genuine but something tells me it ain't gonna happen...

Bit curious where OP has found this deal exactly!!! Looks like it's an internal link....

Link works. Please, check before you will ask to expire the deal.

Be interesting to know just how many people are still trying to get this deal??

But what you've got is free!!

You're welcome, I enjoy replying sarcastically so thanks for the request. Keep them coming oh lazy one. :smile:

hot as alesha's leggs that everyone seen this on final BGT

How do you know its working?
when you put your details in the sit may crash again

Site has a lot of traffic, its not broken or dead yet tho, just keep trying it as others have said.

someone as expired this thread now.

lifemobile.co.uk/Bas…117 is working incase you want the 4GB deal

maybe it was planned for month end targets .remember today is 31st may. e.g. get 5000 customers on this deal.. bla bla..i feel it will be respected. fingers crossed.. TCB as well :smile:

Would be funny if you did get TCB about £40 would be nice :grin:

Thanks

However no matter which of my bank cards I try on Life, they always spit out the same message. No digits etc missing

Thanks again though

Just spoken to life....deal was put online as error but they will honor the deal if you have taken it....

I think this will get honoured.

It's only for 30 days after all and LIFE Mobile might then pick up new customers on one of their other plans afterwards.

A rejection has no effect on a persons credit rating as the result of the credit file search is not recorded anywhere except at the company doing the search, in this case Life Mobile. If you had passed the credit check, the same "damage" will have been done!

If you failed a credit check for a sim only then sorry to say but you haven't been looking after your credit file properly anyway.

Spoke to life.. Computer glitch. Cancellation emails will be sent throughout the day...

a pound a month, but then £6 for 6 months having 4gb of data is still good.

i've just been on live chat with someone else and they've also confirmed the 6 month limit as well. the fact that they're apparently offering the ability to upgrade to a 24 month handset contract after this 6 month period really does scream "marketing exercise" .. this is what she said ..

"There was a deal available last night for £1, which was up-loaded in error. However, as you have already placed the order, we will honour the deal for the first 6 months and you will receive the service as advertised and ordered. During the fifth month of your agreement we will be in touch to advise what tariffs will be available to you once the six months has ended. However, you’ll not be able to change tariff on this SIM. The deal will be priced at £1 for six months at which point the tariff will revert back to the actual tariff price. You’ll also be able to upgrade to a 24 month handset contract after this 6 month period."

Looks like it has expired, blamed on a computer glitch.

Life Mobile this morning:

Weird, because i've just spoke to Life Mobile and received confirmation that they're honouring it. This is what i've cut and pasted from live chat ..

Me : "i need to check the situation regarding the contract itself - is that price a promotional price ?. there wasn't anything on the site that indicated that it was and the impression it gives is that it's that price going forward and will remain that price for as long as you stay with life mobile."
Conor: "Ok, what happened was that £1.00 contract offer was a error and have been corrected , but Because you have already took out the contract at that price and it has been authorised, we are obliged to give you the contract at that price"
Me: "Wow"
Conor: "Ino:)"
Me: "so it'll definitely remain at £1 a month for as long as i stay with life mobile ? something similar happened a few years ago with my sister and t-mobile and they gave her a "free" sim-only deal but it was only for 1 year in the end"
Conor: "Yes, but you can't change to a different tariff, you would have to stay on that tariff for that price"

it will affect you credit rating

They say it was a glitch but i am not so sure because t-mobile use to do it quite a bit and say the same thing and as you know t-mobile is part of EE so makes you wonder why they do it.

Maybe you got lucky and Connor liked u...

it is now awating for dispatch as per customer services

I have the odd PAYG sim but not contract.
I'd still be surprised even with Equifax if there is anything wrong with my credit score... Anyway, I forgot to go through QC/TCB so that would have annoyed me more if they did accept me :smile:
Well done to others who managed :sunglasses:

If anyone gets an email to confirm, pls let us know..

Quite literally lol! All the staff probably don't even know whats happened and giving out random answers

Just called to check and they are honouring the deal for 6 months as said by some others here. So long as you have an order reference in your email youll probably have the sim by tomorrow. Great find Alex_Uk!

Me too and they said they will honour it for £1....

My credit score is excellent so if they use this excuse I will straight on the phone!

Could be they needed to make up there sales figures. So did this offer, as it is the end of the month. Also the first half of the years gone as well which could be a cut off for there sales targets.

Poor Conor, he is having a tough day. He also confirmed to me that it will be honoured, have screenshot, but for £1 deal

there live chat is a load of ****...always showing "waiting for agent" status...

So does anyone know for sure what happens after 6 months? Could this ever be a lifelong deal??

Poor sod - obviously he got the early shift today :smile:



I got confirmation of the order last night. apparently you receive another email once you activate the sim with your online account details. I ordered with quidco as well and it tracked for £12 quid, which was handy!

lol....funny

We're actually only 5 months into the year. Just checked the EE acounting period and that seems to be calendar year as well - so their half year ends on 30th June

So u basically got it completely free for the year! Well done..

Might have something to do with this deal perhaps.

There's more chance of me marrying Rachel Riley than there is of this being a lifelong deal. Let it go !

Is this only 3G?

The woman i spoke to earlier seemed pretty definitive that this was 6 months only.

I'll wait until the SIM arrives and i'll check again when i ring up to activate it. I'm probably going to put it in my mum's tablet for 6 months rather than actually move her phone from virgin.

She ain't all that anyway.. So the chances of her marrying you may not actually be as low as you think! One way would be to apply to be a contestant on countdown and impress her with your arithmetic skills .. Which must be above average given your activity on here!! Lol..

Well technically if the cashback pays out then yes. and yes, it's only 3g.

Maybe you accidently put in duff info, that would cause it to reject, wrong house number perhaps?

They said it reverts to the standard contract rate after a text message/update on the 5th month - at the moment there isn't a matching contract so it's either £7.95 or £9.95 per month with a change to the minutes or data allowance. They will also offer a mobile phone upgrade option too.

Congrats to all who were brave enough to apply :grin:

i was wondering this as well with some of these people who have failed credit checks. as i said in the other thread about the other deal, my credit score is so poor even wonga turned me down but i passed this one, so if i can get one, anyone should be able to.

Superb :-)

Ahh should have gone for the 4GB deal for £1

I would agree, which is why I find it so insulting. Having just checked, my credit file is fine, as it always has been.



No, all details were 100% correct. However, come to think of it, I remember the site reporting a error so I had to click back on the browser, re-check details and re-submit. I think I had to do this twice before it accepted. Maybe this is the reason?

:-)

Chat with one adviser and she confirm that they will honour the deal.

Angellina
09:09: Ok the SIM only deals run month-to-month automatically.
Angellina
09:10: However on the £1 tariff you cannot change tariffs.

Did you get an email saying your order was accepted and awaiting dispatch? They will still need to manually review and process your order and could still fail

Hi ---- There was a deal available last night for £1, which was up-loaded in error. However, as you have already placed the order, we will honour the deal and you will receive the service as advertised and ordered. However, you’ll not be able to change tariff on this SIM. The deal will be priced at £1 for six months, after which the tariff will revert back to the actual tariff price. You’ll also be able to upgrade to a 24 month handset contract after this 6 month period.15:54:10

who'd want to change tariffs for a quid a month anyway ? :smile:

I'd imagine for most average users, 4000 minutes a month is probably effectively unlimited as it is

Yep, I got the confirmation and awaiting dispatch email last night. and both people i've spoken to today from life have said the sim should arrive tomorrow.

They can not revert back as per clause 2.5.1 in terms and conditions

2.5.1 Unless We agree otherwise, a new Minimum Term will apply. Once that Minimum Term is over this
Agreement will continue until terminated.

since its a 30 day contract they can put the price back up very quickly! ie next month! :grin:

I just spoke to one of representatives, she assured that price won't change after a month.

I'd imagine there's a section in the T's & C's that also allows them leeway in event of an "error" - not that this was an error because i think it was simply marketing.

i was right .. here it is ..



as long as they write to you in month 5 informing you of the change in terms of your contract, they can do what they like.

there's a whole set of terms in section 7 as well that cover this, so it's a nice try but it won't get you anywhere

You'd have to be having a really bad day to change from a £1PM tariff with the allowance they offered oO

I looked in my bank account and life took £2 it must be £1 for the first month and £1 for the credit check i also got the email saying.
Thank you for choosing LIFE Mobile. We’re pleased to inform you that your
order is now being processed and will be dispatched shortly.

I must admit there was an error first of all where the last digit of my credit card didn't go though so i put the number back in and then it was all fine they did there credit checks and then got the email.

Yeah t-mobile did it loads of time.

Yes, they could but that would be very bad for public relations & bad business ethics. No doubt this could reach news outlets for consumer affairs issues.

Should have gone through 4k mins/5k texts/4GB of 3G deal myself but was dithering to get this or not.:(

Quick Q..

Did anyone opt for the MPD deal, which seemed the most generous?

Any ideas what MPD means? Is it a sim only?

Thanks

2.11.4 We can change these terms and conditions if new laws or rules make it necessary or where
We are required to do so by OFCOM or any other regulatory body. We will endeavour to give You 30 days’ Written Noticeif We have to do this. The new terms and conditions will automatically apply to You once any notice period that
We are able to give You has run out

It won't hurt them one bit if they did. "It was clearly a mis price and we offered to honour it for the first month" etc

I think most of us went for that one. It stands for mobile phones direct

Just as I said in my earlier post oh i love it! Just admit someone made a mistake if they honour it i'll use it for my iPad! as its a 30 day contract they can terminate whenever they want! Lol always the same these so called deals! Why don't people ever learn!

Just spoke to a Nicola at life mobile and she claims this deal will only be honoured for first 6 months then they will get back to me regards changing the plan to summat else.

"There was a deal available last night for £1, which was up-loaded in error. However, as you have already placed the order, we will honour the deal and you will receive the service as advertised and ordered. However, you’ll not be able to change tariff on this SIM. The deal will be priced at £1 for six months at which point the tariff will revert back to the actual tariff price. You’ll also be able to upgrade to a 24 month handset contract after this 6 month period." This is what the chat advisor said to me

Well that was interesting.


Spoke to Life. Deal is real but only for 6 months & couldn't say how much it will go up to.

Rang Virgin mobile for my PAC code & the woman there says I bet they change it after just 1 month.......


Really worried now as my current Virgin deal is amazing..
Your allowance:Unlimited Mins to 084/087 numbers, Unlimited Mobile Web, Unlimited Texts, Unlimited Minutes
Your tariff price:£6.50

She did just say they have sent me a letter to say my tariffs will be going up £3 a month as they want customers on crazy retention deals to either leave or move onto their current rates but with a £1 discount max only!


Seems as though Virgin has filled their customer numbers & want to get shut of a few who after 8 years have amazing deals.


Looks like Life mobile is doing what Virgin did, get customer on crazy offers, get their numbers up then loose a few through price increases.



This deal will save me £51 over 6 months tho, so top marks for the OP!!!!

seems like the left arm doesn't know what the right arm is saying .. one says it'll be honoured indefintely as long as you stay on the same tariff, one says it'll be honoured for 6 months.

i'll wait for the sim to arrive and get back in touch with them to see if there's a more definitive answer.

And what does it actually mean? They just proved a sim? Or are you expected to buy a phone off them too?

If you've genuinely got unlimited everything for £6.50 a month, do NOT give it up because you'll never get it again at that price - even with the price increase, £9.50 for unlimited everything is a steal.

Aside from the fact i'm always gobsmacked how many people have unlimited everything for less than a tenner with virgin and i've spend about 7 years trying, and failing, to do the same, you're giving up a fantastic deal for one that will only last for 6 months.

It's honestly not worth the hassle for a 6 month deal with life mobile, but that's just me. If you're sure you want to do it then go for it, but with the deal you've got, I wouldn't.

Advisor just said to me they'll honour it for 6 months! 4gb of data for a £1?! Best deal ever!

I had another contract from them for 8 months & they confirmed me that they will not change the price until I don't change the tariff .. Till now everything is just perfect. Let's not panic and wait .. Nothing to loose :wink:

My Quidco cashback for this has just been declined! Everything happening so fast

Should have got myself 2!

They use Equifax.

Also do you have other EE/Orange/T-Mobile Sims? I had issues before when I had 2 T-Mobile Sims already and couldn't get an EE sim. The system said I failed the credit check but couldn't work out why. Eventually found out EE won't let you have more than 2 contracts.

Then why haven't you learnt because you have took it out? :grin:



They have already said they will honor it for 6mths what happens after that no one knows so you have six months
and it all depends how much they put it up afterwords if people stay or go.

What happens after that then? What price does it revert to?!

Also, what was the £5 add-on thing that allows you to cap your usage - is this on by default to or do you have to activate it?

Hoping that I'll be able to PAC my current number over to this when (if) it gets here - no reason why not is there?

for those that got the error message last night (like me) about problem with email address but order OK etc

just been on live chat, everything is fine for me
just awaiting despatch email according to Live chat

Happy days

I am sure it will be for all of us because when I bought last year via uswitch it was declined as well

It is on by default. It just means if you use up the included minutes/texts/data then you will be unable to spend more than £5 extra

Any updates?

hah! yes, my quidco has also just been declined as well .. the sods!

just got an email back from these muppets telling me I have failed the credit check... what an insult! If this effects my credit rating I shall be furious!!!

Nope..

That makes me feel a bit better, went to bed happy i got the 1gb deal, and woke up to see a 4gb deal.. oh well..

It will effect your credit rating...sorry to say.

Rang them after getting an error message but order being successful. She said that they're possibly doing a credit check that's why there's a delay in email notification. But they'll honour the deal for 6 months if all goes well.

well heres another case of left hand, right hand not knowing what each other is doing

ordered last night , got an error message but told order was fine
sent off an email on the contact us option last night to confirm etc

went on live chat this morning got told yes everything is fine

received reply from my email query last night earlier, and the left hand has said no deal

Thanks for getting in touch with us. I'm really sorry you're having problems with your order.

Unfortunately, the £1.00 deal on our web site was placed in error which we have since removed. This is unavailable and we won't be able to offer it to you at this time. For all of the deals available, please follow the following link where you'll also be able to make your order life-mobile.co.uk.

If you have any further questions, just let me know!

Thanks,

Jack


???

wouldn't mind but I cancelled my EE deal this morning and they phoned back earlier to ofer me a cheaper deal to stay
£4.99 for 250 minutes, unlimited texts and 1.5GB quite tempted

If it all goes ahead and put the price up in 6 months, there are a lot customers to negotiate with, maybe they will do a deal, maybe £4 for the 1gb and £7 for the 4gb for example to keep customers...

Which CRA did you check with? If not the same CRA used by LM, then your "fine" credit file with another CRA is irrelevant.

My 12 quid tracked, need to wait and see...

​got the same email, I have as near perfect as possible score. I call bull, just an easy excuse to reject.

Anyone think these will continue for longer than six months without getting hassled by Life?

well just ben back on Live chat, everything is good (on the right hand)

they have confirmed the deal will be honoured for 6 months and should be getting a despatch email shortly

Anyone received cancellation emails so far?

Highly unlikely IMO

love it.. i remember my T Mobile free 12 month contract SIMO i had

Same here - rubbish!
Considering I got full marks 999 in Experian credit check and have never had issues with mobile contracts as well as any other financial products. Excuses.

I reckon they will put a restriction on the data download speeds.. Otherwise I cannot see how the company is going to survive..

Right, so 6 months worth confirmed and then after that they let you choose one of their other tariffs I'm guessing... I got my Dad this sim to get him off payg but it looks like he'll be back on it after the 6 months is up. They might offer a customer discount though right?

You never know for sure.
I had a t-mobile sim-only deal for £1 it was a 12mth contract when it got near the time to run out i cancelled it and then after about 2 weeks add gone by the term it was all over the internet that you didn't have to cancel and it was still running for months afterwords.....So you never know suppose it depends whether they want to keep you or not.

How did t-mobile do it? this was way before they went in with EE.

highly unlikely they'll offer any discounts as incentives to stay. to be honest, i'd be surprised if they offered anything at all to stay really. i think the most you're likely to get is maybe additional minutes or a data bump if you elect to stay with them, but they really hold all the cards in this situation if you think about it.

I don't think EE will suffer from this no matter how many signed up. It will be small beans in their overall business.

They don't actually have this deal though now on offer, so what will they offer after 6 months

lifemobile.co.uk/

True.. But if loads of people have got these sims and are planning to take the p*ss eg. by constant streaming etc., then this could affect the performance for other EE users and they could introduce a fair use policy or stop tethering .. I'm sure there must be a few thousand that's signed up- news spreads fast!

They'll probably offer you the chance to switch to one of those existing tariffs.

​This is a crazy good deal and I'm hoping that mine doesn't get cancelled. But if i'm not mistaken, it is 4gb of 3g data and not 4g so realistically it probably won't be too much of a loss on their side. Whilst a lot of people were mulling over whether to take the deal up or not, it gave them a bit more time to damage control.

I'd be curious to see how many contracts were actually entered into though. Thanks OP for posting regardless;

I would keep looking on here because if they are anything like t-mobile was there will be another offer like this at some point may be a black Friday or something.
Anyway you have 6mths to find another deal.

They will only stream up to their limit and most probably only have 1Gb with maybe a few at 4Gb

I get £12 recurring credit until 2032

I use to pay just £5 but last year I had a price increase of £1.50

This year £3


Problem is, I use 400min max and 1.5gb of data max!

So I really don't use the benefits of Unlimited everything.... but it's nice to know everything is covered

Will be interesting to see how things pan out and how many of these are honoured... And of course, what happens after 6 months..

31 May 16 LIFE Mobile 1.00 12.00 Declined
31 May 16 LIFE Mobile 1.00 12.00 Declined


Grrrrrrrr!!!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree with you but its only up to 1-4g which is not a lot if you are downloading youtube or videos even music so it will soon go.
Me it will be fine i don't download that much and it will stop me having to keep switching my wifi on and off all the time LOL because that enough data for me.

They have just taken £1 out so hope it goes through. i ordered a micro sim but will i be able to swap want to use this in an ipad mini? Can you just use it for data don't wanna port number over in case it changes. Even though from what i've heard life is a good company!

True..I guess the data limit is the saving grace for them..

Just checked the Mrs bank account, and they have taken £1 out today (also have £1 as pending, I assume as credit report fee)
still not had any emails though
but Live Chat have confirmed everything is sweet

thats nice for you. how much has the scoring company offered to lend you? not a penny? thats because their score is worthless and when a company says you failed the credit check it can be for multiple reasons, failed the credit check is just a catch all reason for rejection.

£1 has gone out from mine too, good riddance Virgin Mobile with your over the top increases (50% increase since I took the contract out).

I was going to move to LifeMobile anyway so this deal if only lasts 6 months is still a good saving and an utter bargain and i'll just go on their standard tariff as I was going to anyway.

Check your facts before you try to refute what others ate saying. EE is now pay of BT, fully owned by BT in clearest terms. EE part of BT

Not true, Brussels blocked the move in the end due to competition

Lol i would check your facts mate before replying and making yourself look silly! I think you mean the 02 deal was blocked by the EU as it reduced the networks down to three! The EE deal did not reduce the networks down as BT had sold their network o2 off years ago! Therefore there were not many concerns!

Anyone received anything in the post today?

This is from live chat today: "You should receive this tomorrow however it could be Monday. More than likely it will be tomorrow smile"

No that was the three deal which was blocked BT do own EE now it all went through.
Sorry just seen opaninkofi post.

I received a bill from my utility supplier and a begging letter from an animal charity.

Nice!

Not heard squit yet

Just spoke to customer service. Which I would like to add was a freephone number that connected to a UK call centre in less than 2 minutes. My order has been dispatched and should be with me by tomorrow. So looks like this is being honoured for now. Gutted as I only managed the 1GB deal.

Hi when do you order your sim? I ordered in on the 31st and still no confirmation email for the delivery?

I just got on live chat and they said both my orders were dispatched today. I ordered the 1GB one then saw the 4gb deal and got that too.

does anyone know if the sim works in a locked EE phone?

Btw, I heard that Conor has resigned..

No i just looked on EE forum you have to get it unlocked i'm afraid.
community.ee.co.uk/t5/…826




Who's Conor?

They're all being honoured - for 6 months.

Both my Quidco and TCB's got declined

The poor chappy who was doing the early yesterday, and ended up getting shafted with back-to-back live chats about the same £1 deal!!

Shame but hopefully he ends up getting a better job.

He might be employable at KFC ..

Yes :grin:

No i just looked on EE forum you have to get it unlocked i'm afraid.community.ee.co.uk/t5/…826

I think that this information is wrong.

I'm using a LIFE sim in a locked EE iPhone

No

Why would they say you can't when you can? don't make sense to me EE own life mobile so there is No reason to say no it won't work get it unlocked.
You sure you phone is locked to EE?

Not 100% sure to be honest. I only say that it is, because I bought an "iPhone 6S locked to EE". I believe that a VM sim was placed in it on opening while the number ported over, and the LIFE sim has been working in it ever since. I have a Vodafone sim around here somewhere. I will try that and report back in the morning!!!

EDIT: Yes the phone is locked to EE and a LIFE sim works fine

I got a card error when I tried to order, using 2 different cards, so just left it, no emails or anything, 2 sims arrived this morning! Not got time to go on live chat yet as will need one cancelling and the other one sorting out lol

Yeah I got that too. There was also this deal hotukdeals.com/dea…115

which I am still still on for the sixth year !

Mine also arrived this morning.

I thought that my transfer to LIFE was pretty easy with my other one, so those that have asked, it should be.

And as per a convo on here last night, I can confirm that they work in a locked EE phone

Got the SIM today. Just the SIM, no letter.
Ordered 4GB one.

Really strange but at least if anybody asks now i can say it works very conflicting with the message from EE saying it don't.

Sim arrived this morning :-)

Did everyone else get really pants numbers?

2 sims turned up this morning and both proper random numbers!

Oh well, for £1 a month who cares really I guess :stuck_out_tongue:

I received my simcard today also...now the question is will they definitely increase the price after six months...

.

.

I did but like you said don't really matter mine was all single numbers apart from two 9s i will give it ago and if ok will pac i different number over.


Got the 4g sim this morning but not had anymore emails from them like it states on the card the sim came in
said they had setup an account and sent the password to my email address.
anyone got there password for the account yet?

I ordered 4 SIM cards, for me and my wife. Now need to choose which one is to keep!!!

Yep, same as mine, oh how i wish i stayed up longer and saw the 4gb... boohoo, shouldn't complain for £1!!
I even got quite a good number.

Well how about that - it turned up anyway!! :grin:

Your login details will come with your 'Welcome' email. In the case of my current Life contract the Welcome email came in 4 days after the initial order confirmation.

Just to clarify: You get an order reference email right away (think everybody has that). Then you get an email with details of your "Your LIFE Mobile Order". And finally you get one "Welcome to LIFE Mobile", which contains your login details.

Just to add, for security reasons the sim doesn't activate until 24/48 hrs after you receive it, so it's dead when it arrives. I rang them from a separate Life sim contract I have (£5.95) to cancel that particular contract and switch, but he told me he couldn't do that until the £1 sim becomes active in the next few days. He also asked me where I got the link for the £1 deal, so I just said "online somewhere". He said "Yeah, it was a glitch, it wasn't supposed to be online but you were sharp enough to get on it so fair play mate". He went on to confirm that they would honour the £1 deal for 6 months, and that I would get an alternate offer in 5 months time, but not for £1... "coz that's just ridiculous" lol. All very light hearted and friendly, but main thing is the deal is safe :-)

** Forgot to mention, he's even sending me out a replacement sim, as I'd ordered a Nano instead of a Micro in the panic to get on the deal the other night!

if you look closely at the sim, you can actually pop the nano part out of what they've sent. you'll see the outline ..

it's pointed out around every 3 or 4 posts on this thread that it's for 6 months only and yet people still don't know ?

yeah got mine this morning as well. going to give it to my mum to use in her tablet for 6 months. she's been using 1gb of data a month for a while, so it'll be like christmas with 4 :smile:

received today... great 4GB ... hehhehe.. thank OP.. no email though till now.. TCB rejected which does not matter now

Maybe it's only you and I that has realised that it's 6 months. Everyone else has perhaps missed it somewhere along the line oO

Got my sim card delivered today as well, thanks again OP.

So, is it confirmed that this deal is for 6 months only?
Then no point transferring PAC to them. who knows what price it will end up after 6 months?!!

or in my case, order failed twice saying problem with the payment
no order confirmation
no welcome email
nothing at all, except 2 sim cards through the door today!

Easy to PAC your existing number across?

Damn they actually sent the 2 I bought.

Bought the 1gb package then noticed the 4gb after so got both.

Hope they sorted the PAC situation with EE and virtual networks , took about a week to transfer my PO one to Life as they are run on EE , had to be done internally

bought one they sent me 2, trying to call them to cancel 1

Yeah I done it from Voda to Life a few months back, just ring Life up with your PAC code (it did take a few days to port across though, so stick your new sim in an old phone and carry both while waiting)

received mine today despite getting error message regarding problem with email notification etc

still not got any email what so ever, even though it states on the card T&C's have ben sent via email

also as for not transferring your number over, why not
you can always transfer it back to another provider, I'm about to PAC code over now

Thanks OP

Don't cancel one, use it in a tablet or give to a family member.

You can always drop down to the £4.95 deal anyway
so why not transfer your number over

woohoo 4gb sim arrived. cheers op :smile:

Received today although it's not activated yet and just got this text Hello, just a quick note to say we're currently busy processing your order however due to the popularity of our *ahem* error, we're taking a little longer than normal. We'll have your SIM activated by the close of business on Monday. Sorry for the delay.

Nownt yet, took £1 from my account though...

Just got a text message from them explaining that because of their "*ahem* error" its taking longer than normal, but that they will have activated the Sim by close of business on Monday

Got mine too! Wish i got the 4gb one but for a pound a month i want it for my ipad as the deal won't be around forever! i got a normal and a micro but i need a nano sim for my ipad how do i get it changed? And is it free? Can i transfer this to a another person? My mum could do with a deal like this even if just for 6 months the 4.95 deal is still a bargain! People should not be complaining about this they are losing money because there is no way you can make a return on this price but a hot deal!

did someone tried to find terms and conditions ? i assume 30 days contract means they can increase the price with 30 days notice ... hence its hassle to shift and then again shift back for couple of quids ?

That's the contract, but it seems they've committed to go beyond the contract and give you this price for 6 months.

I put my sim in, tried to make a call
and it worked straight away

3g also works a treat
still no emails or text messages
now to port number over

Just saying

My sim not active .. When I called from my other number to life number .. I received the text

"Hello, just a quick note to say we're currently busy processing your order however due to the popularity of our *ahem* error, we're taking a little longer than normal. We'll have your SIM activated by the close of business on Monday. Sorry for the delay."

if you're coming to the end of a contract or you're thinking of changing providers, this is a perfect opportunity to port your number over to LIFE and save a few quid for a few months so then you can, potentially, take advantage of any offers around christmas time.

If you're not, then I agree that it's not worth porting your number over because you'll just be changing it again in 6 months time.

That's why i'm giving the sim to my mum to use in her tablet. she's currently paying a fiver a month for 1gb, but that ends in 2 months, so this will be the perfect replacement until christmas.

Fair play to LIFE / EE if they honour this for the first 6 months. Enough minutes, txts and data for browsing and Social apps costing £6 for 6 months. My daughter is costing me about £7 a month elsewhere and this is in theory a £36 saving.

I love the ability to cap the account as well (if it's for a child make sure that you change the cap from £5 to £1 as soon as you can. One of my other sims which is with LIFE only ever goes over by £1 a month, unlike my daughters who sometimes gives me a £15 bill. I have noticed that they only ever stop the service (mins or data, depending which one is chargable having gone over the allowance), once their system registers this fact. Often, if I check the usage, I will see that an hour long phone conversation that took the account over the allowance being allowed to continue at 40p a minute, but I am never charged more than £5.95 a month (£4.95 plan + £1 cap).

Using LIFE abroad is pretty cheap as well if you are ringing or txting the UK. If I remember rightly it's about 2p a txt and 4p a minute from much of Europe!!!

I will certainly be keeping mine past the 6 months, as long as they don't offer me a ridiculously expensive tariff. As has been said above, why wouldn't you stay with them, as the current tariff's are reasonable already, but who knows, they may offer one that isn't listed. I am guessing that the error and honouring it for 6 months is in the hope that people will stay long term.

If the rumour of 6 months is true, well done LIFE / EE :sunglasses:

Well done Life got mine today as well I ordered the 4gb one and got the text saying about taking a couple of days. Good to see they can be light hearted about an error they made honour the deal and get some new customers.

i can guarantee it was planned :wink: good for us though ... hehehe

I spoke to life mobile they will only be honouring it for 6 months after which you either can upgrade or cancel

Thankyou for this completely new information ...

It sounds like you aren't happy with £6 for 6 months. If they offered it for 3 months I don't think that we could complain too much. I only wish that I'd gone for the 4Gb plan. I thought that we were all going to get an email the next morning cancelling the order, so didn't bother to order a second sim.

I have a feeling that we will be offered a special deal in November, that isn't one of their "normal" plans. The plans that we have got aren't the same as their "normal" plans already. I can't see them wanting to have 1000 customers ringing up requesting PAC codes during late November. Would be a waste of CS operator time and clog their phone system up.

Strange fellows sent me the text message saying the sim will be active on Monday. Which would be nice. If I had a sim in the first place lol

The 4g some have like myself is £13.95mth
lifemobile.co.uk/?gc…IoA

i already have a non advertised tarriff £6 for 1500min, 1gb data and unlim text so they are available, so im sure they will offer some sort of discount

I stand corrected :wink:

The 1Gb isn't a standard tariff as it has 2000 minutes and not 1000.

Just got my *ahem* txt from them. lol

Thats what i'm thinking! Life is cheap anyway so why not try it for six months first and we can grab some customers along the way!
You don't put a deal out for a £1 the web page needs to be designed so it wouldn't be a typing error £1 instead of ten as you can set your system to notice any numbers i.e if something is less than £10 are you sure that is correct?

This is deleberate but fair plays to them! Its like the sky code thingy £100 credit and half price line rental!

U are absolutely right. I am using them for 8 month & can tell u best ever customer service.. Quite happy :wink:

They've maintained a sence of humour despite the monumental cock-up, I like that. Wonder how many more customers they've gained due to this mistake?

Been with them for 2 months and love the service, but re Europe, calls, txts, and data are now capped at those prices courtesy of an EU directive. However MMS's (picture messages) are not. I travel quite a lot, and the only gripe I have with Life is they get the arm well in outside the EU directive. They toe the line re calls, txts and data, but charge you 70p to send an MMS from EU!! Vodafone (who aren't cheap) charge 4.3p!!

So what was the intended price for this £1 deal?

I got my sim today but no mention of how long the £1 deal lasts do they not have to tell you somewhere?

Just got this text lol

Hello, just a quick note to say we're currently busy processing your order however due to the popularity of our *ahem* error, we're taking a little longer than normal. We'll have your SIM activated by the close of business on Monday. Sorry for the delay.

From my understanding it's for 6 months and then it will revert back to its normal price (whatever that may be)

6 months change, does it apply to both 4gb and 1 gb deal?

Received my sim card and it will be activated before Monday night. I received a text saying that due to the popularity of their mistake, they are struggling to get things done quickly...

I had the same message, shame that I have ordered only one sim card.




I had nothing about that the deal will last 6 months only.

Did anyone had email with details how to access the online account?

Sim is active already

...and you can get login details using forgotten username/password options!

Good thinking. I've got my user name. Waiting on a password. lol

It looks like your user name is as follows:

First three letters of you surname + year of birth + Month of birth + Day of birth.

eg Smith 7th September 1976 would be smi760709

If you already have an account with them then add a 1 at the end

Password reset, and I'm in. Thanks for the advice on how to get into your account online :sunglasses:

Cannot match your phone number and email address
Just tried thats the answer i got also sim is not activated yet cannot make or receive calls or text.

Mine is activated. That's obviously why my log in worked.

If you want, I will swap my activated 1Gb sim for your 4Gb? (_;)

i will wait till Monday :grin:

Going to wait to see if the sim turns up today, if not will winge and say it was one of the 4gb ones and where is it lol

I have tried this and it says cannot match username and email

Bit crap how it works to activate sim. could be a week before you can start using it after you've received it.

Go away and pay £10 on giffgaff then you can use it straight away! If this bothered you why did you sign up for it?

Are you speaking from experience... My sim arrived. It is active...and I havemanaged to use it. My account is still being created so I can't yet access it. However customer service was very helpful to explain this. Great offer. Thanks Op

To me it doesn't matter if it was £1 or £20 and or how rushed off their feet they are. it still takes a long time before I can start using it.

Sim arrived, can use the phone to make calls etc (shows orange bizarrely). Called up to port number but the account isn't active yet so can't be done.

Cancel your order then if you are not happy. Simple solution, there are plenty of companies who would sell you the same package at £20 a month and connect you quickly. Oh wait, they are more expensive, when a great deal like this is done, there is always a risk that it may be an error, it may not get honoured, or it may take a while to process the orders. The fact they are honouring them should be good enough for any reasonable person, even if it takes a few days to be connected.

Then close this down and buy one that doesn't have that delay. I don't see what your complaining about tbh

Does anyone know if porting is possible from EE to lifemobile (which also uses EE)?

Yes

What is the data speed like on Life mobile?

​It's very good, in my experience and with others. I'm getting 15 to 20 Meg download in good signal areas, 3G of course. In the same locations my son who is on Giff Gaff is getting no more than 4 Meg on 4G...

Just went onto my online account and it all seems to be up and running ok. Shows the 2000 minutes/5000 texts/1gb data tariff. Am able to make calls, surf the net, so far so good...

Wow!! That's pretty good. I get barely 6-7meg on 4g idmobile. Still waiting for my life mobile sims to be activated. Can't wait to try it..

I am with ID been with them since Jan i get about 30-40mg where i live must be a poor signal where you live.

Received my sim and received a text to my existing phone number saying "Hello, just a quick note to say we're currently busy processing your order however due to the popularity of our *ahem* error, we're taking a little longer than normal. We'll have your sim activated by the close of business on Monday, sorry for the delay!"

What a wonderful way to respond to a miss price. QDOS to them. Even if they ramp up the prices to the regular price point in the future, we've all got at least one month (of our one month contracts) for a quid, so I'm not complaining.

The sim will go in my car computer, so I'll just be using small amounts of data on the move to stream internet radio, live traffic updates and the likes. I work from home and only drive to the shops and family, won't be using texts or making voice calls, for me a quid a month for 1gb of data a month (which I'll likely use less than 10% of anyway) is enough for my loyalty. If the price goes up I'll probably just re-tether the car computer to my phone again which I have unlimited data on.

I wouldn't mind if the price went up to £3 a month, but beyond that and I'd just stick with my legacy 3 sim.

I'm not complaining. it's just an observation. a comment. I love Lifemobile!!

still waiting to use my lovely SIM!!

Timing is good as my I'd mobile contract finishes this week.

Your contact doesn't Finnish its the minimum term that finishes you still have to give 30 days notice to cancel it or your contract will just rolls over.

I have given my 30 days notice, I don't want the number so didn't ask for PAC, so, it should finish...... unless they want to play games. I recorded the conversation and sent an email referencing the conversation and the name of the person I spoke to. We'll see....

That's good hopefully will all go through.
One other way is to get the Pac code and then use it with-in the 30days that will defiantly finish your contract as soon as the Pac goes over......just do it to a payg sim.
Like i say the contract will finish instant you won't have no worries after that.

I am on life mobile £6 a month for 1500 mins and 1gb data. I will be taking my PAC code from life to three, then three back to life for this sim.

Whats that got to do with moving from life to 3 then back again?

CS proposes me same thing :wink:

just asking others
I've had my sim in since Friday evening, everything has worked fine calling & 3g data
on Friday it stated EE on my display

today it has changed to Life ??

I have a LIFE sim already. It displays LIFE

When I tried my new sim (for another member of my family), it also said EE. I was surprised. It should show LIFE normally. I haven't tried it again, as I am waiting to port a number, but am guessing it would now show LIFE like yours has changed to, if I put it back in.

Why?

Life mobile is a virtual network operator running on the EE network

Does this just work for an ipad mini?

It will work in any device which takes a sim including the ipadevice mini

Basically, they want to keep their number and put it on this sim, but as they are already with Life, they cannot migrate directly. The point is that they need to migrate from their donor Life sim, to a temporary sim, then back to this Life sim to keep their number on this deal.

Still no welcome email or activation sim arrived on friday?

same here

Received mine 1 hour ago - so they're working through them still.....

Received mine without email or activation last Friday or Saturday ( not sure as travelled early Friday and returned Saturday) . Just put sim in a phone, shows EE but doesn't accept or make phone calls or text messages. Any one with this issue?

my sim says EE just tried it again and its working now also logged into my account via the lost password so all up and running here thanks op for the deal

No welcome email, chat transcript:
"The account is stuck in a state of pending which is the transitory period that an account is in whilst moving from one status to another. We advise that an account should be in pending for no longer than 2 hours, but sometimes this is extended and the account gets stuck.14:45:44ShayOnce the 24 hour mark has been reached this will be flagged to our Operations Team, who will then pick up the account and send this across to EE's network engineers.14:45:56ShayThey the have to manually push the account out of pending, but the time it takes to do this can vary depending on the circumstances. As the issue is being investigated by the engineers at EE and not ourselves we are unable to advise an accurate timescale.14:46:02"

Update: My both numbers got actiavted during last hour.. no email/no sms.. i just tried to make a call. cheers

Mine activated this morning but don't have no internet or mms the voice mail i can't understand the person talking sounds foreign.
I spoke on-line to custom service and he said the account wasn't set-up properly yet so hopefully all be done by tomorrow.

It is generic user name for every one. First 3 church of surname yymmdd if your surname is Houston the your your username is houyymmdd

Worst bit is you can't change your user name you are stuck with it...Change Password fine

had the email (the only 1) about 5:30pm
rang CS to port number over (from EE) but to keep my former number before anyone states I don't have to

been very impressed with customer services, English call centre and no long waits, been told it should take no more then 2 days, either by noon tomorrow or definatly by noon on Wednesday

have every intention of staying with Life, although probably at a lower contract once this one is up in 6 months

once again thanks OP

Everything else works except data for mine... Shall i ring CS or wait until tomorrow?

anyone have any idea how you keep a check on your acount balance ??

everything worked on mine when it arrived on Friday, account was acivated approx at 5:30pm tonight if that helps

I've got a Zuk Z1 dual sim phone and have finally set up the manual data APN setting for Life Mobile. if anyone is having problems with the Android settings, let me know and I'll send the exact settings I used.

On lifes website you have to log-in if you haven't got your log-in details yet goto the log-in and press lost user name. Put your phone number in first then your email you signed up with they will send to email address once you have that. Go to login again and do the lost password you have to give the username and your email again they will send you an email to reset you password once you done that you will be able to login with your user and password as normal.

​I've restarted phone with 3g settings, data still isn't working. I'll leave it until tomorrow before I make a phone call.

​Does the iphone have any settings that need configuring?

Mine is all up and running and my online account Login. ...happy days

I'm not sure with the iPhone, scroll down the page to the iPhone settings

​geeksquad.co.uk/art…ngs

Internet not working

I too struggled to get the Internet to work. I even tried the manual APN settings. I gave up

Just had a email with all the details and it states that I'll be paying £1 on a 30 day rolling contract, but no mention of a price increase after 6 months...

I am like others can make calls and sms but no data, I just had a chat with them, and its because both my sims are in pending status. I wasnt given a timescale, but "it shouldnt take too long" is was I was told. So its a case of waiting for the email on activation then trying the data then. Hths.

Still no welcome email so cant port number ... Although phone and data working...

Mines pending as well, needs EE manual intervention apparently. The side effects are can't port number,use mobile data, and jibber-jabber on the voicemail. No timescales available

I ordered two sims. I've received an account email for one of the sims but not the other. Anyone in a similar situation?

Had this with my Dad's. Rung them twice now, on his behalf, trying to port his number over. We have the PAC from his current network, T-Mobile, but they just keep telling me his account is 'pending.' Not said when it'll be sorted, they won't say but we keep trying :grin:

I ordered 4 sims. Received all. But no emails so far

No emails for me either but have just put the sim in my old S3 and checked and it's coming up as TMobile with H+ coverage. Did a speed test and got 8mb down and .4 up which is rubbish compared to my current Virgin sim which is getting 19mb down and 1.2 up and using the same network.

But for £1 a month i'll put up with it and got PAC from Virgin, they made no effort to keep me as a long standing customer apart from offer me lesser packages. They just want everyone off their old VIP contract by the looks of it. Good riddance to them!

Yep got the activation email for one sim (just now) and all working hunky dory (data didnt earlier but calls and sms did, but since the email everything is as it should be now) I'm just waiting on the other sim to activate now.... :smiley_cat:

4000 mins, 5000 text and 4gb of data for 100 British pennies a month.

Stick that in your pipes and smoke it you pessimistic nay sayers.

Got the activation email today my 4gb sim is working like a dream data is pretty fast so i will give it a few days and if all working great then i will Cancel my contract with ID and get my Pac code and give to life will save me a few quid even if its only for 6mths.

Same happened with me yesterday. They never asked me where I was going or how much it was costing. I even said that it was because my daughter often goes over her data limit and that she needs a bigger package. The lady checked and said yes you are right, she does go over her data some months, but gave me the code without question. I think that the number that I requested for the code was only on a £1 pm discount anyway, it is my other two numbers that are on U/L everything with large discounts. I thought it very strange not to try and make me stay, unless there was something on the system that said discount allowance at max.

Got a welcome email, now says Life on phone instead of t-mobile and data works. Yay, next stop number port. Fair play to life

is it necessary to have PAC code and new contract on same name ? for example, i bought life sim on my name but want to transfer my wife's number on it ?

Been working fine in spare phone , no issues. I have however received an email stating my price is increasing next month.. Who had the information it would be honoured for 6 months?

Last week it was Life, this week it's the poor EE engineers trying to manually activate all these accounts lol

Rising to what? Don't they have to give you notice? This is bad practice by them report them to Ofcom if true. If they were going to do this all along they shouldn't have honoured it but they have.

I have tried and PAC work for account in different name, you can try

oO OMG

Are you sure that it was an email advising you that it was going up, or have you read the Welcome email which states that you plan is £1 for one month, as only being for one month?

thanks a lot, will try :wink:

an email is notice, its a 30 day contract

You can transfer any number as long as you have the pac code all it will be you will have her number thats it.
As long as its not a life mobile number you are trying to pac...you cannot pac from to life mobile from any other network will be fine.

Contract is only 30 days unfortunately they can raise price whenever they want. Says its increasing but doesn't say new price. Logged in website can't see any information on prices anywhere except on my current bill, guess I'll have to wait and find out.

Me: I thought it is promotion to have more customers16:00:54

LIFE: That's was most people was thinking, but this was a system issue but all resolved now.16:01:32

LIFE: The SIM only deals run month-to-month until you decide to change tariff, upgrade or cancel16:02:57

they have to tell you what its going up to tho, give them a call might be an error

They can do what they want..

It's a 30 day contract.. Ofcom won't care..

Finally my sim too works with data. All in all a great deal. We all know that this contract can change. I don't think it will change overnight as the Direct Debit means they must give you at least 10 days notice from the billing date and this will tell you the new price. I'll port my number in. If they raise the price too much . I'll move out again.

Just an update, data is working after receiving life mobile email.

​They said they'll honour this price for 6 months though?

I suspect that he has misread the welcome email as saying that it's going up after the first month. It states something like "your plan is £1 a month for 1 month"

Hope that I am right!!

Can you please post up that email because I think your telling porkies. I got 2 emails from Life mobile, one was a welcome email and the other was the latest bill is now available on my account.

I think "your plan is £1 a month for 1 month" is telling you its a rolling 1mth contract nothing about putting the price up.
I really think they would tell you the price first before putting it up just like normal when they put prices up they give you plenty of time or warning.

​Ooooo just re-read that email "Your line rental is £1.00 per month for 1 months and we'll take that payment on or after the 19th of every month."

I'm gonna ring them tomorrow and see what's the deal. Will have to cancel it if they change it after one month. Ridiculous.

Don't know how many times people need to be told, but this £1 offer they are offering for 6 months after that you will pay the normal price...ie I have the 1000minutes with 5000 texts and 1gb after 6 months it will revert back to £7:45 if I wish to keep il pay that price or I can cancel my contract as it's only 30 day rolling giving them notice...hope this has cleared up.....

number transferred ok but no data working, do you need to change any settings ?

Make sure the mobile data is on and follow this link below (depending on what type of phone you have)
geeksquad.co.uk/art…ngs

This is the last email I got from Life Mobile...

On the life mobile Email there is No mention of the 6mths and then going back to normal price.
I got the same email as Rimz790 above.
Can you show me where it say you only have the £1 deal for 6mths?

Nobody has had that in an email from Life, several have been told it on live chat though. Ultimately it is £1 per month until they contact us to advise of a price increase, which they have to give advance notice of.

Thanks for getting in touch with us.

The deal is available for the first six months and you will receive the service as advertised and ordered. During the fifth month of your agreement we will be in touch to advise what tariffs will be available to you once the six months has ended. You will also be able to request an upgrade at this point, subject to the usual terms and conditions regarding upgrades.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Jack
LIFE Mobile Customer Services

Hope this clears everything up now for you all....

I rang and cancelled this morning; for both sims I got. Could not get the data working for days now, despite numerous calls to CS and manual input of the APN settings on various phones.

I will just wait and see because when i was with t-mobile i had a deal with them like this one for 12mths and when it got to the 12mth i cancelled the contract because they said it would go back to the normal price... it didn't and some people are still on it after about quite a few years.
If you look back on the thread not sure what page there was a lady i think that said she was still on one from t-mobile and been on it a few years.

That's because its not setup yet you should be patient it will go on some are just taking a bit longer.
Mine only come on yesterday from last week.

I was on one of those tmobile sims, I have just changed over to this deal

having bought an iphone I needed a new sim, this turned into a big mistake which caused me to lose the discounts I had from Tmobile

after a number of calls and visits to the local EE store, eventually I was offered a £3 discount on the new tariff I was put on £9.99, however amazingly after I asked for my PAC code for this deal I was then offered my deal (£6) for £4.99

I told them thanks but no thanks, the guy even asked could I get him one of these sims

Lol ^^ the cheek

If they want to increase the price they have to give 30 days notice, in practice normally more.

Why did you change over?
why not just keep both for awhile and see how things went thats what i am doing i know it means carrying 2 phones but its only for a little while.

I was not happy with the customer service from EE (typical left hnd not knowing what the right hand waqs doing) resulting in me losing my "FREE" Tmobile deal, all because I asked for a replcement sim. Thats all I asked for, not for a upgrade or a change of network, or lots of hassle with EE shop staff or customer services.

So Sod Tmobile/EE

its Life for me now £1 for 6 months, then I'll go for the £4.95 deal, still cheaper then what EE offered and getting a lot more

Just tested out the sim for mobile data connection and it seems to be working on my sim. I did go into my phones mobile network settings and at first manually choose EE as my network provider and that got the mobile data up and running. I then did the automatic mobile network registering and it found EE and seems to be working ok.

I did a ookla speedtest and the max dl speed i got was around 11mbps and 2.8mbps ul speed...

Are you using an iPhone? Cant access data on iOS 9 for some reason

Ok so I just called Life for the second time to try and find out why my data is still not working and they told me that those people that have only recently had their number transferred are, like me, most likely still in the process of being moved over. The first time i called the lady told me that everything should be working so i waited a few hours but have now been told the account is still being set up.

It's cheap but i have to say that after a full week and still no account setup in full it's trying my patience but i'm going to stick with it for a few more days and se how it goes.

EDIT: I have an iphone 6 with, obviously, ios 9.3 and none of the manual or auto APN config options have worked and iphones dont allow direct APN setup. I also tried that website above with no luck.

Everything working on my iPhone 4s iOS 9. Chuffed to bits

No I used my Samsung Note 4...

I emailed them and they said you can't use it in an iPad! Cause its not a data sim but I remember something similiar with vodafone but you just put some settings in and it still worked! Anyone got any ideas?

It takes while for full activation then call them, they will refund one month line rental

A whole £1 back, whoopi!! ;-) Mine was fine but can perfectly understand the frustration..

Data stopped working! Noooooo
Back again, had to turn mobile data switch on/off again (iPhone settings)
rebooting didn't help

Just received the following text.
Hello, congratulations on spotting our not-so-deliberate mistake and ordering possibly the best value SIM around! To reward your eagle-eyed savviness, we'll honour the deal for 6 months from your activation date. After this, we'll need to move you to one of our standard tariffs. We'll be in touch with you nearer the time to talk through what we have to offer.

So it's official on the deal. 6 months then move to another tariff.
