: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

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.

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.

Got the same message today.

Wonder if the ASA might be interested, no mention of price rises or anything when we signed up, switch and bait i think its called

you signed up to a 1 month rolling contract that can increase in price at any time providing you have 30 days notice, they have given 6 months notice.

A great deals and now I am all ported over. Great customer service. Can't fault Life Mobile. They honored a deal that wasn't supposed to be for the General Public. Customer service is UK based and friendly. My porting from TPO (also on EE) was simple. I was advised that it could take up to 5 days. Ported was complete within two days. Oddly it ported the number within 36 hours but data took another 12 hours to work on the new number on Life. My only disappointment is you must log onto your account online to see your balance. Or ring customer services but I wouldn't bother calling them for my balance. I feel that it taking them away from other important tasks oO. Thanks OP. :grin:

Can you use this direct in an ipad as a data sim? Can anyone confirm that please?

When is the 6 months up, is it end of November??

Six months from activation date, we are four months in right now so mid-December is when it should be.

However, I am waiting for them to actually send out some form of notification of a price increase.

I do believe December

Let's stay quiet & dont be curious mates :smile:

Be nice wouldn't it!! Don't think they are that daft though sadly....

After 6 months they offer a 4G sim :smile:

how much it will cost extra? As I think to get EE deal @ £19.99 + £70 (gift card)

I think it was a joke, Life Mobile do not offer 4G at the moment to my knowledge.

Personally I don't care about the speed improvement of 4G, but the coverage would be a huge boost. If they were to offer Life Mobile 4G but capped speeds as it is the BT/EE budget MVNO, that would make me happy enough, especially if we managed to slip under their radar with this price still.

They do offer 4G speed but someone on hotukdeals reported it's £2 extra and someone mentioned the following plan:
1500mins
4GB of 4G speed
£12.50

Interesting as there appears to be nothing on the Life Mobile website anywhere, even coverage only shows 3G. A Google search reveals it being reported on HUKD in February but nowhere else.

I think I'll wait to see if this offer is going to be cancelled by EE in December or not. If they let the offer slip or advise of a smaller increase I might try to sort out 4G, otherwise I'll leave anyway so hardly worth the effort.

The prices are the same as the standard sim prices on their website. I had my first Life sim from November 2015, and around June/July time this year they called me and offered me an upgrade to a 4G sim. They said they offer it to customers who have been with them for 6 months.
However there was an ongoing problem with switching me to my 4G sim, so I ended up cancelling it. I had gotten one of these £1pm sims a little while before this happened.

Perhaps that is why they don't mention it on their website then, they want it as a loyalty bonus for now.

yes

Now less than a month to the supposed 6 months cheap line rental, any news from Life on offers?

I am due my month 6 bill on 7th, that is when I imagine I will hear from them advising of a price increase or giving any offers.

Got my bill today, certainly no mention of tariff change. Fingers crossed.

Same here, still not going to port my number in just yet though.

No price increase for me yet!

Same here - still going strong. Seems like too good to be true!

i will ring them up and ask when its going up, will post what they say




























































‌ :stuck_out_tongue: mines not gone up either :sunglasses:

Is this wise? Things are just dandy as they stand, and any enquiry can only risk triggering a change to our disadvantage.

lol im joking stop stressing :stuck_out_tongue:

Whoooooooooooooosh

mates.. lets just stay quiet :smile: dont remind them injury..lol/

intresting

All PlusNet tariffs listed on their website will be 4G data, so perhaps we will all get upgraded to 4G free as well :smile:

In any case, it might be worth pre-registering for their 4GB data, unl mins/texts for £10 month offer, reading it they email an invitation at the end of the month so you won't actually be signing up for it yet, that way if they do cancel our current deal you will have that offer to go to if you want it. plusnetmobile.com/

Hence the non-appearance of the long dreaded notice of change letter.

No doubt they'll be carrying out a review "... so we can offer you even better value... "

​what did they emailed... feeling like copy/paste of generic info would help rather us keep guessing :disappointed:

Had the Plusnet email, no mention of a price change :grin:

Quite the contrary - they assure us that "your mobile service, pricing and plan will stay exactly the same." and even go on to reaffirm that "Most importantly, the service you receive and the price you pay won't change".
That's quite a commitment to keep our tariffs going and if they tried to stop them now, I imagine there would be a lot of complaints to the regulator!

I am happy to upgrade the £9.45 (2k minutes, who care text and 3GB of 3G data) to Plusnetmobile £10 (unlimited and 4GB of 4G data). I was still happy with my £1 deal but 1G of data it was not enough for me.

Why you only getting 1gb data didn't you get the 4gb data and 4000 mins deal for £1 month

​as I have signed originally to the plan 1k minutes and 1GB of data for £1 and spotted too late the other plan.

oh dear

Any words on what deals plusnet will be offering? I wonder if it will be anything this good.

As LifeMobile would probably have known about the impending sell-off of the business for quite a while, I'm wondering whether the £1 deal was a cynical way of boosting subscriber numbers ahead of the acquisition? Am I being too cynical?

Doubt it! It's not an acquisition as LIFE were owned by EE they transfered it to plusnet also owned by BT! Plusnet don't have a mobile provider so it made sense from a BT point of view! LIFE was a legacy of phones4u it didn't fit in with BT's branding! I fully expect EE to be renamed BT Mobile soon as well or maybe even BTEE Mobile lol

Or perhaps they'll rebrand BT Mobile and EE to BT Cellnet?

EE is BT, Plusnet is trading name of BT, still the same company, in my eyes the same corp company.

The thing is will the £1 deal continue as its only a 30 day contract so they can finish whenever they want!

Depends if you want a firm answer or speculation. The firm answer is that nobody knows. All correspondences we have received state that we will be transferred to PlusNet Mobile with the same tariff we are on now at the same price, suggesting we will continue on £1 per month. However they can still serve 30 days notice to stop the deal at any point.

My assumption, and I think most people would agree, they will likely stop the £1 per month deal very soon, I would expect that we will receive confirmation that we are on PlusNet Mobile now following either immediately or a month later by a 30 day notice that our deal is ending. Basically, if like me you have not yet ported your number into Life Mobile, I would hold off porting it over for a while longer.

i think right now the plusnet mobile is busy with other issues, like upgrade of customers to 4G, as i phoned them up and they do replacement (optional, if you wish to have their plan) of sim with their £10 plan (unlimited + 4Gb of data).

The £1 sim deals were guaranteed for 6 months so those of us lucky to get it are in our last month now and so we should be told what the deal is with what we will be charged in January.

I am tempted with the £10 deal however I don't want to swap to that until i've been told what my £1 rolling contract will be changed to. I will call to see what I can find out but I think it needs a lot of us to call so to put pressure on them to come up with an official answer.

i would just leave it, they might have forgotton about or not even bothered now its changed companies

I would again suggest to stay quiet. New company saying price plan is same so why we bother to ask.
4GB+4000 minutes/month for £1 is no brainer :smile:

I won't be trying to argue my way out, if they want to cancel or transfer us on to a current deal, so be it. The issue is the 30 days notice, we have to give 30 days notice to leave, they advised of a temporary deal but did not advise of what the price was rising to, this means notice was not given by them that the price was going to rise. They specifically said, from your own quote "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.", they have not served notice of cancellation therefore as they stated they would move us on to a standard tariff, not that they would cancel. They didn't specify which standard tariff so they haven't served notice of a change in tariff. Basically, under any conceivable way they have not served notice, otherwise tell us exactly what they served notice of? Cancellation? Nope. Price rise? Nope. Tariff change? Nope. None of these have met the full required criteria of a notice period by that original message.

If however, they say we have a choice of immediate cancellation or we can take up one of their current tariffs, that then becomes a grey area simply because it would be impossible to refuse to take a new tariff and stop them disconnecting you, they have the power to cut you off even if you have paid your bills, it would then be down to an individual to argue a case to get reconnected or compensation which in this scenario wouldn't really be worth it. Basically there still is no point anyone else contacting them first, since if they decide to take any more than £1 by direct debit from anyone (except in cases of usage outside the inclusive limit) then they have breached the terms and we are covered under the direct debit guarantee to recover the funds.

I'm not calling them. I received a 'Welcome to Plusnet' email and it stated my there will be no changes to my tariff or what I pay so I'm staying schtum, at least until I hear from them saying otherwise.

OK i'm not arguing the point any further I can see what they have done with that text and as long as they contact everyone they sent that text to before the end of the 6 months even if it's the day it expires to offer a current deal to change to they have done what they said they would do. I'll wait and see if they call/email tomorrow/Tuesday like they said.

I called them and they have not forgotten LOL but wishful thinking that they had. They are calling all £1 customers in the next 2 days (Monday and Tuesday) as the 6 months is up on 6th December to say that one of the current deals can be taken or to cancel and go elsewhere.

I'm taking the £10 a month deal as it's 30 days rolling contract 4g and unlimited minutes and texts and 4gb data which can't be beaten anywhere else that I can see.

I'll be interested to see what you have to say when they haven't contacted anyone by Wednesday morning, but suspect you'll have disappeared into the ether....

There is a U Switch offer not listed on Plusnet if the other tariffs are no good, im holding out :smile:

500 texts
1GB data
£5.00 per month

This is what they sent out originally:
"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."

Such a troll - lol

I'll refer to you post #587 where I said

^^ Why would anyone on this deal do that? :neutral_face:

All jokes aside, this offer has been good while it lasted but what next? I'm after something around the £5 for my Dad. Doesn't need the minutes, just texts and a bit of data. Any ideas?

Just got my bill through, dated 4th December (My 7th monthly bill) confirming the cost of £1 for the monthly plan from 3rd December 2016 to 2nd January 2017

Why not read the post i made earlier :smile:

In all seriousness - there's no rush to get off this deal. Life gave us a commitment to a minimum of 6 months (with 30 days notice) - we were then sold on to plusnet who gave us a commitment that "your mobile service, pricing and plan will stay exactly the same." - the old 6 month minimum has been replaced by a commitment to keep the same deal. There's no rush for it to end :smile:
30 days notice will be plenty of time to sort out something new - till then, just enjoy the ride :smile:

They still have to give notice as specified in the contract. Saying the contract will change at a certain point is not notice as they haven't said what it will change to.
More binding would be the emails and texts from plusnet clearly stating the price will not change.

FWIW I didn't get any emails or texts regarding the 6 months, for either of my two sims. I have also been charged £1 for next month, taking me into month 7.

I took this out 6 months ago as a backup sim, intending to buy a dual sim phone. I still haven't (and probably won't now) the sim is still in the packet unused - £6 (and counting) wasted :face_with_monocle:

Lol I don't what is so difficult to understand about the text they sent out. They have clearly stated the £1 deal is valid for 6 months only and at that point they will offer their customers to change to what current deals are on offer. Like I say have fun arguing your point of view with Life Mobile as and when they contact you.

You are mistaken and quite clearly need to grow up.

I called them because as an existing Plusnet customer I know how useless they can be (they really screwed my broadband order up previously and entirely their mistake) and so I don' trust them to not just let the 6 months lapse and charge you differently without telling you. I want to know what the options are and if (and I admit it's a big IF what I was told this morning is true with how cr4p they are) then there are going to be some disappointed people on this thread thinking they can keep their £1 deal forever lol. Just the fact they intend to phone everyone within 2 days before the 6 months is up should tell you all you need to know as to how useless they are.

Everyone who took out the £1 deals were clearly told by an email from Life Mobile that it was a mistake but Life Mobile would honour the deal for 6 months and then they would be in touch to arrange a new deal. That in Plusnet's eyes is what they are allegedly doing tomorrow and Tuesday, contacting the £1 deal customers to offer them the current deals they have.

Have you not seen? They've sent the bill for month 7 still at £1.
You.Are.Wrong.
Lol I don't what is so difficult to understand [sic]

Actually that's not true. I'm on the £1 deal and they have never indicated to me that they would only honour it for 6 months.

I'm wrong? Lol all i've said is the conversation i've had with Plusnet Mobile and the text that was sent out when they were Life Mobile when we all got the deal that clearly states it's only for 6 months. Please explain that text doesn't say that then if i'm wrong.

I hope the deal does get a 7th month i'll find out if i'm billed Tuesday and like i've already said Plusnet are useless so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they say one thing and do something completely different.

The 6 months was not part of the contract - that was just their guidance.
The contract requires them to give us 30 days notice of a change to the tariff. Nothing can change that - if they attempt to give 2 days notice, they dont have a leg to stand on. (Oh dear - I've been hooked :$)
I doubt anyone thinks this deal will continue indefinitely, but we will have 30 days notice from when they decide to terminate us.

So you believe plusnet mobile, who, if they are the same customer support as plusnet broadband, don't have a clue at the best of times, but we are all wrong, even though I know contract law pretty well? They can't charge you more without the 30 days notice, it is as simple as that.

The contract is between you and them. You have to give 30 days notice if you want to change any part of it or cancel, they have to do the same. Sending a vague text or email 6 months ago is not enough to be able to charge more with 2 days notice. They may ring people this week and say it will go up, but that can only be from 30 days after the notice of change they give you.

If you say the text 6 months ago is binding, then so is the text less than a week ago saying there will be no change to the price or tariff. In fact, legally the recent one would be the one that is valid as it would over ride the previous text, and it was sent by the company you currently have the contract with.

Heres my bill showing month 7 charged at £1

Well like I said having seen their incompetence first hand let's see what happens but that is what I was told this morning. They seem to have overlooked the 30 days notice period to change the tariff.

They aren't charging you more are they? They have said that deal comes to an end at 6 months of having it so they aren't increasing it they are stopping it and saying you can move onto a new deal or leave.They have made it clear it's a 6 month deal at which point it finishes there is no need to give 30 days notice of that. The email when they changed to Plusnet Mobile states everything will stay the same which is correct, it has stayed the same 6 month deal which comes to an end as originally stated. You say you know contract law but then argue invalid points such as they can't increase the price which isn't what they are doing or ever said they would do.

The fact people are seeing a 7th month being billed is testament to Plusnet's incompetence as i'd already said was quite possible to come to light having been a customer of theirs for years. If I do get a phone call in the next 2 days I will argue that some customers have already gone into a 7th month and so everyone on the same contract has to be treated the same. That is where they fall down, the sales/technical teams tell you they are doing one thing but their automated systems so something completely different.

If they can show they sent you an email notifying you like the rest of us you not seeing it will not be a defence. I still have the email but without reading back from what I can remember it's contents have already been posted on this thread.

I don't think it will be any price increase as right now the Plusnet mobile is very busy, very different to Life mobile, as you need to listen their choice of music on phone at their cost (0800 is free phone number) while waiting for operator to pick up.

Whilst I totally agree with you that PlusNet are incompetent and I am surprised you are with them for your landline still, they can't just overlook the 30 days notice. If they fail to give the 30 days notice we can recover any DD taken by the direct debit guarantee at the wrong amount as they can only legally take the £1 per month until notice has been served. This is why I wouldn't have bothered contacting them, if they change the charge without service proper notice we are all covered anyway as they will have breached the contract.

The only point I am arguing is that they can't change the contract without your permission without giving 30 days notice. Doesn't matter if its price, cancellation or anything, 30 days notice has to be given by either side. If you don't believe me, go onto chat and ask to cancel from tomorrow, I'll bet they charge you for the next 30 days.

'If' you were correct and the contract ended after 6 months then they shouldn't be taking payment for the next month, nor should they be billing people for it.

I think you must be on a completely different contract to me. I am on a 30 day rolling contract. Not a 6 month contract, nor have I ever been informed of any 6 month period, either by text or email. The terms of my contract clearly said if either party want to end the contract 30 days notice must be given. If you agreed to a 6 month period after which they can terminate your contract with 2 days notice then more fool you, I certainly wouldn't have. If you didn't agree to it then they can't give less than 30 days notice, as per their contractual obligation. That is basic contract law, one side can't change the terms without the others consent, otherwise there would be no point having contracts!



I wouldn't argue that, just say they have to give you 30 days notice, if they say they don't ask them for a copy of the contract where it states differently, or your agreement to waive the 30 day notice period.

They are claiming we were all told it was for 6 months only and there is no 30 day notice period. I am trying to find rthe email now and having trouble as it was 6 months ago oO

LOL what do you not understand about the text that was sent:

"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."

It was a 30 day rolling contract that was clearly a pricing error that to their credit they honoured and said everyone could keep it for 6 months at which point it ends and then you can go onto a new deal. There is no 30 day notification needed once you've been told that less than 1 month into the 6 months. They have given more than 5 months notice of cancellation of the deal you can't then complain you want a 30 day notification as well just because you want it.

You clearly don't know contract law like you think you do.

If you never received any email or text then that is a valid point to argue with them where they will have to prove they notified you.

The fact they have taken a 7th month is the error which isn't surprising but doesn't change the details of that text clearly stating it's for 6 months only. They have made an error in your favour and anyone else who gets a 7th month which should now be everyone if they give it to one they need to give it to all on the same contract.

Read post #526 on the previous page...

From the opening post - clearly a 30 day rolling contract and not a 6 month contract.

After the 30 day rolling contract was agreed they claimed to have made a mistake but said as a gesture of goodwill words to the effect of they wouldn't give the 30 day notice for at least 6 months. They cannot unilaterally change the contract from a 30 day rolling contract to a fixed term 6 month contract. What they can do is give 30 days notice.

This seems to confirm that it was 6 months and they need not give us notice and just change it. The 30 days notice is if we as customers want to leave the deal.

Not sure why you are laughing. As i stated I had no texts or emails from them on either phone number or either email address. As I haven't agreed to any contract changes I cannot be held to it. I know contract law very well, but if you can show me a link showing that one party can change the terms of a contract without agreement from the other, and/or without notifying the other party of the changes they were making, then you will turn many a court case on its head.

If what you have put above is the exact text you got that 'changed' the terms of the contract, where does it say they have changed the cancellation period from 30 days? What you have provided only states they will be in touch to discuss it, nothing about changing the notice period.

Plusnets email on Friday to me did state



So if anything, they have been in touch at around the 6 month stage, and decided not to change things after all.

Plusnets terms from the date they took over state



Clearly says they will give 30 days notice, not 2.



Clearly states 30 days notice for any change of contract. Being allowed to terminate your contract with 2 days notice would be a change, they haven't gave 30 days notice, therefore they can't.

Since fixing their cock up my actual service has been uninterrupted for all the years i've had it now and no one else can provide unlimited fibre upto 76mb for less than what i'm paying. So when everything is good and you don't need to speak to them it's fine, it's just when you have to get them to do anything it falls way short on customer service and having a clue what they are doing.

Plus as it turns out the person I spoke to confirmed they are still the same Life Mobile team as we dealt with 6 months ago they just work for Plusnet now so still the same team dealing with the 6 months issue etc.

I'm laughing because you are ignoring points and just picking out bits you want to argue about.

You can give more than 30 days notice which they did via that text, it doesn't have to be exactly 30 days that is just the minimum term so no you really don't understand contract law. Are you suggesting if they gave you 31 days notice it wouldn't be valid or 32 or 33 or so on? 31 days or 5 month plus notice is valid notice, it is more than the minimum of 30 days they are required to give.

I clearly stated if you tell them you didn't receive such a notification you have a valid point which they need to prove they did notify you but you chose to ignore that part of my reply.

And you really aren't understanding their email when they switched to Plusnet. That email is completely correct, the deal you are on stays the same i.e. the price but also the 6 months end point will stay the same. I've already pointed this out and you have chosen to ignore this.

The T&C confirm 30 days notice from them to end the agreement.

"22.2. We'll normally try to give you 30 days' prior notice before suspending or stopping providing our services and/or ending our agreement). However, we may not do this if we believe there is a real risk of loss or harm to us, our network or our other customers (for example, if you’re not paying for the service or where there is a reasonable suspicion of fraud or other abuse)."

There's nothing in the "abnormal" part that would allow less than 30 days notice (e.g. we're currently paying for our service and we're not committing fraud or anything like that)

They never stated what price it was going up to though, that is why they legally have to give 30 days notice. They cannot just say "this is a six month deal", then in six months time put it up from £1 per month to £200 per month, that is illegal. I know that I have exaggerated as it wouldn't go up to £200, but the fact remains they have to advise the price after the promotion otherwise they have no grounds to increase the price without 30 days notice other than reasonable increases such as inflation.

It even says in that message "We'll be in touch with you nearer the time to talk through what we have to offer." In other words, before your offer ends, we'll advise you what we have available to you. If you have to give 30 days notice to cancel, they have to give the same notice by law of any price rises.

That text quoted gave 6 months notice you can argue all you like with them about it I won't be bothering.

They have sent that text saying it's for 6 months, that is notice. The phone calls if they happen or email if they send one out is to tell you have a choice to take up one of their current deals as the 6 months has ended or you can cancel and leave. The 6 months comes to an end the 6th December for me and I would assume for the majority of us as well all took the deal the same short time it was available.

Try arguing the points with them not me, the fact they sent that text is giving notice more than 30 days ago they don't have to wait 30 days before hand and by inviting you to take one of the current deals in the next 2 days is contacting you offering a new deal. I don't see any way of successfully arguing your way out of this.

So you take it to court and:

You - judge they haven't given me my 30 days notice to cancel.
The judge - so what was that text notifying you it would end after 6 months?
You - but that's not 30 days notice
The judge - no it was more than 30 days notice telling you your 30 day rolling contract would end after 6 months. There is no case to answer here
You - oh but but...
The judge - NEXT!

I really don't see what is so difficult to understand that text is their get out of jail card. It is written notification your deal ceases after 6 months. There is no further notification needed other for them to contact you and offer you an alternative deal to try to keep you as a customer instead of just cutting you off. They are not putting the price up the deal ceases to end. They could legally just cut you off at 6 months and it would be your responsibility to port your number before the end of the 6 months. Obviously they wouldn't do that as they want to try and keep you as a customer and that's where offering you a new deal comes into it.

Their email was notice of intent to terminate the deal after 6 months - they'll be in touch nearer the time to formally do it. They never were, but when they are, they will need to give us 30 days notice. They cannot give us notice to transfer us onto another deal until they give us the specifics of what deal that will be transferring us onto and what it will cost. They decided not to do this for whatever reason.

They have now renewed into the 7th month - are you claiming that they now have the authority to terminate the agreement at any time, without any notice because of one vague email over 6 months ago? That's obviously nonsense!

You keep criticising all of your misunderstandings as not being surprising because its just what you expect from plusnet support that aren't very good - but as I understand it, this is still the same Life mobile team managing the situation as has always been - and probably at this stage has very little to do with plusnet. They wont have it all "in house" yet.

This seems to have degenerated into "I'm right", "no you're not, I'm right" territory based on scant information and speculative interpretation.

Plusnet will do what they'll do, and we should await their notice of change, if/when it comes. Little point in trying to alter the outcome as we have no control over it and this stirring of the pot can only be to our disadvantage. If you choose to challenge their fiat then the most you might win is a few quid in a pyrrhic victory.

No, just no. They have formally told us it's for 6 months on that text (it couldn't be any clearer) and they will be in touch nearer the time to offer us the current deals. They couldn't offer you the current deals at the time of the text as they didn't have a crystal ball!

I'm just playing devils advocate from the point of view of how any company would argue their side if any of the above arguments were put to them.

I hope Plusnet do screw up and allow it to go on longer for all of us as the longer we keep the £1 deal the better. However if they do terminate it now no one can complain as the 6 months has passed.

Anyone else here that never actually received a "6 months" SMS/email from LifeMobile? My earlier message was lost in the Sp0oner echo chamber

And you have been doing exactly the same. You keep quoting the same line from the message which nobody has disputed. In fact last time you made the whole part bold as if to say focus on this. Here you go:

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.

Let's focus on that and you tell us what exactly they have given notice of. I'll walk you through it for the whatever number time this is as at least three of us have told you already.

we'll honour the deal for 6 months from your activation date.

Yes this says they will honour the deal for six months from activation. To be a formal notice they have to say exactly what will happen at the end of the six months, now as I see it there are three options:
1. Termination. The contract will end and you will be disconnected.
2. Price rise. The price agreement will change and the price will rise.
3. Tariff change. The tariff will end and you will be transferred to a different one.

After this, we'll need to move you to one of our standard tariffs.

So they have chosen option 3, to change the tariff. Now to be a legally binding notice of at least 30 days, they must advise exactly what tariff they are changing you on to, or if they giving you the option, what your options are with a default option if none is chosen before the end of their notice period.

We'll be in touch with you nearer the time to talk through what we have to offer.

They have not notified you what tariff you will transfer to, not even what options are available. Until they do this they have not served 30 days legal notice. Until you can produce the proof that this constitutes formal notice despite being incomplete, I think you should accept you are wrong.

We will all know soon enough what their intention is if your response from PlusNet is anything to go by. However their incomplete notice would not stand up in court as a formal notice as it did not specifically state what would happen at the end of the notice period.

Moreover, this is more likely what would happen in a court if it ever went there:

You - judge they haven't given me my 30 days notice to cancel.
PlusNet - so what was that text notifying you it would end after 6 months?
You - that is not a notice to cancel, it states I would be transferred onto a standard tariff, of which they have many without stating which one.
PlusNet - that is what we have offered, we called you the day of your renewal to offer you which one to take out and for the next month.
You - where is the notice then? If I choose none I have to give 30 days notice to cancel, so I will be charged for at least one month on a tariff I never agreed to.
PlusNet - not our fault
The judge - PlusNet did not serve a full formal notice and therefore they are in breach of contract, I rule that the claimant pay £1 in full and final settlement of their final months bill. NEXT!

You are in a minority of 1 who thinks that their original message constitutes a legally binding formal notice. It doesn't as it was incomplete. As stated before by your logic they can put your bill up to £200 for December without giving any further notice and you have no choice but to pay.

They have formally told you the deal is for 6 months only. What you do at the end of the 6 months is up to you. You have the choice of staying with them on what deals they have at the time or porting your number off elsewhere.

How anyone who received the text can dispute the fact they have said the deal will end after 6 months I do not know. And if you accept that fact then it goes without saying you understand that is notice that the deal ends and there is no further notice needed.

Please tell me where there is any legal requirement for them to continue to provide you with a service after 6 months? If a contract ends between 2 parties then it is down to renegotiate a new contract which they have said they are willing to do at the time or for you to take your business to another company.

As for your claim i've said they can put your bill up to whatever they like it just shows you clearly don't understand what the termination of a contract is. If it's finished the service is no longer provided so no there is no charge and they can't put your bill up. It is plainly clear you can discuss taking a new deal with them i.e. a new contract at the point of the 6 months lapsing so as to not lose service. Either that or port your number to a new provider if you don't wish to lose it.

Be my guest and take it to OFCOM and report back what they have to say on it. We can agree to disagree on the point of law because I will hedge my bets Plusnet's corporate legal team would win over your argument every time.

There is one issue I will admit could be their downfall and that is if it is argued a text message is not an acceptable method of notification because there is no proof the customer ever received it. This can be a get out clause to argue with Plusnet because they can't prove you received it when text messages are not a reliable source of communication. I know i've sent messages and the recipient never received them and vice versa as i'm sure the majority of people have experienced at some point.

​the only text I have ever received from Life mobile is:

Dated 3rd June
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.

I've kept all my emails and apart from the original welcome email (and then a welcome to Plusnet email last week) I have only ever received the monthly statement emails.

My next bill is due to be generated on the 7th and I suspect it will for £1 as I've had no contact or notice re any change/cancellation whatsoever. I have only ever heard about a "6 month honour" on this thread. If they contact me to make a change then so be it, I'm not under the illusion this will go on forever, but they will have to give me 30 days formal notice. Simples.

Just had my bill of £1 so it looks like plus net will be keeping us on the tariff indefinitely. Didn't this happen a few years back on T-Mobile and they honoured the deal?

Well i'm glad the bills are still being produced today which would indicate they have messed up and left it too late to move people off the deal at the end of the 6 months. I hope mine is generated tomorrow for another £1 and then just sit tight and see what happens.

They never said that your contract terminates after six months though, it is still a 1 month rolling contract you signed up to and they never advised it was not. Therefore they cannot just disconnect you without a months notice either. If you want to win this argument, call PlusNet and ask them to cancel your contract at the end of the six month period which is tomorrow (or whenever) and see what they say, they'll still demand that 1 months notice and charge you the extra month because no formal notice was given. You are a minority of one, several people have already corrected you yet you still seem convinced that somehow you are right and everyone else is wrong. So I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree as if and when they cancel and give the one months notice still required you will merely claim they are "being generous" as they "already gave the notice before".

They said the deal will run for 6 months therefore that means at the end of the 6 months your 30 day rolling contract of £1 a month will no longer exist i.e. yes it is terminated. They could have cancelled the deal straight away admitting it was a pricing error but to their credit they didn't plus it would have caused massive issues for them.

You still think just because you and a few others disagree with me that makes you right. No it's just a matter of interpretation and I will put my money on a large company's legal team winning an argument with a few customers over how they have worded their position regarding a product/service they are stopping providing to you.

And to answer your argument about saying I want to leave and call them up that's exactly a question I put to them saying as my 6 months has finished as of Tuesday if I don't want a new deal/contract with you then I can go elsewhere as you are terminating my current deal. The person I spoke to didn't know what to say because they assume you will take a new deal with them. However as I want to keep my number i'd have to be quick under those circumstances as if you leave your number won't go with you unless you have already given your pac code to another provider and they port it before the end of your service with your current provider. But in theory yes if I didn't mind losing my number I can just walk away at the end of the 6 months tomorrow because they are saying the deal has ceased.

It all looks irrelevant now anyway as more and more people are being charged a 7th month meaning what their staff said over the phone isn't matching up to what their automated systems are doing. Another utter balls up by them in our favour.

You are one of those people that can't accept the idea that you are wrong. You say that it is terminated, yet their words that you quote and ignore state that "After this, we'll need to move you to one of our standard tariffs." This is not a notice of termination from them but a notice of change in tariff.

Under their terms:
7.1.3 We can suspend, change or withdraw Your Price Plan, Price Plan Services or Additional Commitment Service. We will give You Written Notice 30 days before We do so. The change will then apply to You once that notice has run out.

Since they have not said what the new tariff is, they have not actually served notice to change the price plan. What they have done is inform us of their intent to change the price plan, until the details of that change are announced notice is not served.

Just because PlusNet are useless, but potentially have good lawyers, doesn't mean they can break the contract they wrote. We signed up to their contract terms so any correspondence they give in the way of notice has to comply completely with their terms. Any ambiguity favours us as the party who DIDN'T write the contract so they have to make sure that what they send us is very clear.

If it came down to anyone having to take PlusNet to court over this for some reason, I would put my money on PlusNet settling out of court as it would cost them less to settle than to argue it in court given that their victory is not guaranteed.

As for you thinking you could just walk away in a couple of days without serving notice, clause 7.2.2 in our contract makes it clear you have to give 30 days notice to end the contract and leave them. The only way around this is if when they advise of a price change or tariff change, you give them notice immediately of your intent to leave before their change comes into effect. If you are taking their notice as being given six months ago, then your notice to leave had to be given six months ago or else you have to give the full 30 days notice to leave today.

As we can all see though, they are honouring the deal for a 7th month anyway, so either they are going to serve a months notice now or they are going to let it roll. Either way, we are up on the original deal we all expected.

Frankly if they decided to just cut me off after month six, it wouldn't cause me a huge problem as I never transferred my number in anyway, if they decide to suddenly increase the monthly charge, that would be when I take action of invoking my consumer rights and the direct debit guarantee.

Yes that's exactly what I received. So it looks as if LifeMobile didn't send out exactly the same communications to everyone who took advantage of the £1 offer.

Still waiting for you to post a link to some case law to back up your ridiculous statements. And I did clearly address all the points you mentioned, no matter how many times you say I didn't, I even posted the part of the contract stating they will give 30 days notice before any changes are made.
The text is not part of the contract at all. As I said, ask them to cancel today and be cut off immediately with no penalty and without having to pay for the next 30 days, see what they say if you don't believe me. I'll bet my house on them saying you have to pay the next 30 days, as 30 days notice is required.

There is no 6 month end point. I did not get a text or email, and the contract states any changes will be published on their website, can you find it, as I didn't see it when I was looking through it last night.

It was a monthly contract so they could have gone back on their word and changed the price at month 2, 3, 4 or 5 if they wanted to. They said they would let it run for 6 months but that was not the actual legal contract, it was them being nice.

The original email they sent wasn't explicit enough as it didn't contain a precise date and what the exact price change would be, so in my personal opinion it wouldn't stand up as a 30 days minimum notice. I don't believe they intended this to be a minimum 30 days notice due to common sense and also how vague the contents were regarding a date and exact price changes.

Hang on a minute... What was that again? :grin:

They said thanks for bringing it to our attention, you can have the £1 deal for life everyone else we are putting upt o £20 immediately with no notice :grin:

Anyone get a call?

I got a call from PlusNet a few days ago actually, but it was about my 'interest in their launch offer' and to see if I wanted to go ahead and take it out over the phone. I wasn't specific with them, but I did say I was a Life Mobile customer and had opted in for the offer in case something went wrong with the transfer of my current deal. They said ok then, you have until January anyway to take it up if you wish.

I am curious if anyone on this deal or otherwise who has transferred from Life Mobile are getting a 4G signal? All PlusNet tariffs are 4G but our Life Mobile one was 3G, I assume we remain on 3G unless we transfer to a PlusNet tariff as they did say your tariff will remain unchanged.

The SIM cards are not 4G able. When Life offered me an upgrade to 4G, they sent me a 4G SIM. I never got to try it though as there were ongoing problems activating the SIM card :disappointed:

I thought that might be the case, so no 4G upgrade without changing plan then by the look of it. Oh well, carry on waiting to see what PlusNet do then.

nige182, thw text is missing from you post.

It is in as a quote, it shows fine on my laptop. Copied below.

"Hello, just a note to let you know your Plusnet Mobile Direct Debit for £1.00 will be taken on 21-12-2016."

Well I made the comment 6 months and 2 weeks ago after buying the sim...got a text from Plusnet about taking the next £1 payment this month...so can we assume that we wont be given the dreaded forced push by Plusnet to change our £1 tariff due to the pricing made by Life Mobile over 6 months ago??? (_;) :stuck_out_tongue:

Just checked my online account and looks like they have taken seven lots of £1 :smiley_cat:

It has definitely gone over the 6 months. I would wait for the January bill if you are debating on porting your number. By then they should have had a chance to sort through the PlusNet Mobile launch rush and Christmas break so I would hope that if they are going to end the deal soon we should hear in January. Obviously they can end it at any time but if you are waiting to port your number in still you need to take the plunge at some point or continue running both indefinitely.

I will need to wait until May to port my number over from Vodafone, so I guess up until then I'll be waiting to see what happens 8)X)

Oh that works well for you then, if there is no update by then I would say it would be worth the risk of porting in then. My only risk is I have about £15 credit on my GiffGaff sim, so I don't want to port the number in until that is spent and I don't want to waste it or try transferring to another service such as PSN or Android (if GiffGaff works for those) until I am fairly confident the deal will keep running. So if we haven't heard anything by the January bill I will have a look what I can do with my GiffGaff credit. Luckily I have a dual sim phone so for now it is fine running both sims but I do have another sim I wanted to put in it (low use sim but better data coverage for when outside PlusNet 3G data area).

My January bill has come and again was priced at £1 Looks like we all bagged a bargain.

Yep, had a forwarded email earlier from my Dad, who I got onto this deal, still showing as a pound - happy days :sunglasses:

Same here! X) Eighth payment taken from what I have checked via my online account. Cannot wait for May to come along so that i can cancel my Vodafone contract and carry on with this super deal :stuck_out_tongue:

But this is all impossible, we cannot be getting an eighth month at £1, Sp0oner told us all we had been given notice at the start of the contract that it would end in December, you must all be imagining that you are still connected and getting bills for month 8 at £1.

Good God you're right. I'd forgotten about that. The only explanation is that we are living in a parallel universe. Or maybe it's all a dream.

I think we're in a limbo with this contract X)

My 9th (or 8th excluding the very first payment) £1 payment has been taken out today! X) So I guess I can confidently say that we're going to be keeping our £1 sim only deals! :smiley_cat:

Just had my latest bill for £1, best deal eva !!!++"""___£!!!!!

My sim's still active. Been the longest 6 month deal I've ever had! :grin:

I've just got a new phone which takes nano sim, I don't really want to cut down this sim as a micro sim is thicker than a nano sim, has anyone requested a replacement sim from Plusnet and what was their response? I certainly don't want to risk losing this deal.

Hmm, yeah a bit risky ringing them :wink:

They'll be a lot of unhappy people on here if you do and the deal is ceased as a result...

On a serious note, I've cut down loads of sims in the past, plenty of guides on YouTube too. They're not all that. Also, I'm pretty sure all "those" phone shops in town clone/copy sims don't they? I stand to be corrected :grin:

Yeah, I have one of the mini to micro cutters about that I used before and am happy with, but mini and micro are both the same thickness. Nano is thinner and that is part of what worries me about cutting it down. I might try in Carphone Warehouse or something, see if they can do anything in store.

10th £1 payment email received! X)

Me too!

guys don't cut the SIM or use clone SIM card services, simly contact Plus Mobile and ask to replace the SIM card as you lost it, this option is part of mobile phone contract service and they can't refuse it!

10 months and still going! Looks like you were wrong!

It happens occationally :smile:

Lol i just wish people wouldn't make bold predictions! You never know whats going to happen!

Still going here too. All be it my mother makes about 3 calls and uses 100mb of data!

Starting to wish I'd ported my number over now but I darent call them up and port it across in case they cancel the contact!!

They won't cancel it just because you called. I had to call twice to get a new nano sim and was reluctant for the same reason. The first call was to order a replacement for the new phone (note to anyone else, they may charge if you say you lost your sim as per their terms, presumably because they have to cancel the old one first, but I genuinely needed one for a new handset and they sent a triple sim free of charge), the woman just placed the order for a new sim. The second call was to activate the new sim after it arrived, at the end of the call the guy on the other phone saw the deal I am on and said something like "you've got a boss deal there", and that was it. I called in the evening so the customer service staff at that time probably don't generally give a crap about what deal you have.

​Just wish I'd taken out more of them :disappointed:

Wonder if we'll make the year mark? Don't see why not...

Would you believe it - our holiday in France finishes a few days before this starts! :disappointed:

Fantastic though, well done PlusNet...

Gave my £1 sim to my daughter to use. She uses it to call or message us on her way to and from school...

The deal that just keeps giving

Funnily enough, I think the same. Originally only went for one as thought that'll be enough for my needs easily if it is honoured, but kinda wish I'd got a second one to use as a data only sim now.

how many months now?! this deal has saved me so much money

It can't be six months yet, Sp0oner told us we would definitely only get the £1 per month deal for six months, so we can't have had six months yet as no price increase or loss of service. (_;)

On a serious note, over a year of this, this was a great bargain. I am still disappointed with the 3G coverage but we can't have everything unfortunately.

Just take it easy & keep going :wink:

anyone managed to get a 4g sim ?

Thanks again OP, Dad's just texted me... he's had another bill through for a pound :sunglasses:

The deal that keeps on giving...

Same here. She does sometimes hit £2 though before being capped due to going over her data allowance :-)

If I thought that the deal was for real and would last this long, I would have got a second one for myself for when my contract ended this time last year. I perhaps should have gone for the £1 4Gb plan which was still going strong in January!!

I've still got this but lately the sim isn't connecting to the network. they sent me a new one when I queried it. and now that one's doing the same. I suspect that they're deliberately not allowing it to connect.

I contacted them and it's been over a week and the new sim hasn't turned up. they said they'll send me a new one again. I think they want me to just give up and save myself £1 a month.

will I heck.

Mines working ok, maybe it's your local area or is it all over

Is this still going or have they put up the price?

Still going. :smile:
