Could go either way, posting a phone deal...
I don't use the minutes much, and who even uses texts now there's Whats*pp?
But I do need an ok amount of data, this beats the next best thing I've found by £2.50.
Over to you, HUKD...

I have this deal. No problems with them at all...so far.
Think this is a repost though, I'm sure it's in the hukd mega thread too.

I need a sim for about a week or so and this will do the job I think

Just make sure you give your 30 day notice once its activated otherwise you may end up paying for 2 months not just 1

Word of warning. I changed to this contract and kept my old mobile number. The change was the next day but didn't work properly and I can't receive any phone calls or text messages. That was two weeks ago and it's still not sorted! I've already told them I want the service canceled and my money back and my phone number! but I'm still waiting!

Another word of warning - I left o2 after 10 years to join ID because of the cheap pricing but with cheap pricing comes cheap performance. I could barely find signal and when I did, it was 3G, signal was very intermittent wherever I went. After a month or so of dealing with it, I left and rejoined o2.

Uses three network. Absolutely not worth it for many. Three's reception issues have not improved the slightest.

It all depends on where you are. I am with BT and 3 (dual SIM phone) and my wife is with ID and I would say that we generally have better signal on Three/ID than we do with BT (which uses EE). In the centre of Cardiff my BT signal drops all the time while 3 never fails (hence why I set that as my default for data on the phone).
I also travel all around Wales and Hampshire/Sussex and very rarely have problems with Three. Even when driving on the M4/M3 I get constant streaming from Llanelli to Winchester on Three/ID. Also using speed tests I consistently get better download speeds through Three/ID than I do with BT/EE.
Certainly there will be areas where it is not suitable but is this not the same for every provider? Just make sure Three are good for where you spend most of your time.
On another note I was with ID mobile (left because BT was cheaper at the time) and my wife is currently with them. They are great until something goes wrong. Their customer services seem to be good on the surface but I have had it more than once where they have agreed to do something and then when I ring back (because nothing has been done) they can find no record on their systems. Cancelling was very easy though so if you go on the 30 day contract I would say overall it is well worth trying them.

The price has nothing to do with the signal strength and availability; iD use Three's network, they don't own their own towers etc.
That said, many people do complain about Three's signal, but I can't comment on that as I've not been with Three anything like recently.

Good deal if you get a good 3 connection in your area (I do at work but not at home).
By the way, texts are universal, everyone (apart from kcajjones - see above) can use them. What's*pp can only be used by those that download it and, apparently texts that contain Telegram links aren't censored in good old SMS. :smile:
