It really wouldn't.

il use 20gb on browsing HUKD over Xmas! !

​Yes but the Samsung note 7 is better at it.

Thanks.

The last day you can sign up for 30 days is the 2nd of January in case anyone else is wondering.

Great deal may take one myself

Is this for one month only or does it continue as long as you pay your £10

it would be hard to use up all 20GB on 3g

3G data on Asda (EE) is painfully slow, however it is useable but would rather 10GB 4G data. Still good price IMHO

Really? Good deal.

People, depending on what type of 3G Asda uses will determine the speed of the connection. 3G can hit speeds faster than Home broadband . I've seen 3G hit 20mpbs which is quick and very usable.

This is providing they have Hsdpa (I believe that's it), then the speeds will be good.

Thanks OP :smiley:

Bargain

Hot hot got

Hot for those with a EE 3G signal, esp those with poor speed Britoshbroadband Telemonopoly exchanges, 20GB and unlimited on a 30 day payg bundle, HEAT!

thanks ordered.

il use 20gb on browsing HUKD over Xmas! !

Is tethering possible?

Anyone on Asda Mobile able to run a speed test and advise what kind of speed you get on EE, through this Virtual network?

I know some of the virtual networks using 3G on EE cap their speed at something stupid like 1-2mbps.

I am very interested! I am shortly finishing my 2 year contract on T-Mobile which is unlimited 3G via the EE network. My speed seems to be capped at about 6-7mbps and more than good enough for browsing, YouTube (in HD) and streaming music.

As I took a phone out on my contract back then I am paying £30+ a month and just want to go to SIM Only now, Spoken to T-Mobile/EE and will not offer me a discounted rate to do SIM Only on T-Mobile. But reluctant to pay £25+ a month to switch to EE on 4G when I don't need that, for a SIM Only contract, but use about 10-14GB a month.

Never thought I would be switching to Asda PAYG, but this is the best deal by far for someone like me that fits my needs and EE signal where I am is excellent.

not a bad deal

Can anyone compare between Asda and life mobile?
Also is this only for 30 days then goes up in price, or is this a permanent deal?

I checked out the problem and indeed found that for some reason the APN was down as Virgin Media, after entering the correct settings the 3G+ is now working and so is tethering.

Thank You! :smile:

Just wondering - as this is an Asda xmas deal, does anyone out there have ideas as to whether other companies will also be doing similar deals ?
I get brilliant O2 and BT reception 3G, T-Mobile varies, vodaphone useless, EE not sure if it's the same as T-Mobile or not...... so I don't want to fork out for an unproven connection, if other operators usually offer similar deals so as not to lose market share.

can we stay on the deal beyond christmas??

would this sim work as a data sim in a tablet?
seems to me that 20gb for £10 is a pretty good deal.....

You've reached the maximum number if sims? Erh?

Anyone else have trouble in not able to use snapchat on iphone 5?

Good deal, shame the Asda phone signal is rubbish where I live

Not necessarily I know that Giffgaff and Tesco were both on o2 and GG was much worse . Will depend on their deals with EE

I think this is a 30 day only offer, then it drops to:
1.5GB data
600 minutes
Unlimited text

Is this payg?

You may in your area, hardly opens a webpage in my area, or takes several minutes to open a webpage.

Text mega to 2732 and says not delivered. ........Like...what's the craic there ffs

​maybe adding credit 1st would help...just saying :smiley:

Bit early for a game of keyboard warriors @DeJef.

Here you go. This is from an iPhone 7 in Fleetwood Area :stuck_out_tongue:

Out Of interest was walked past local EE shop yesterday and had notice boared offering can't wait for Black Friday 12 months sim deal 4 Gb ultd Mins & ultd Text for 9.99 / month Which I guess is not too bad.

Can you tether on this?
If so, it would make this a great deal.

Heat added :smiley:
https://mobile.asda.com/

I just got that deal for £8.99 as a retention deal after a contract ended

3G isnt great with today's internet. I have 6GB of 4G and im always on the phone and still have 2GB left a month. No one should be suffering 3G nowadays. Cold

As it's a "Christmas" bundle, I am guessing anyone taking it out now will be enable to renew it once with Christmas still so far off. That said, I simply don't know, it's not what they say at the site but what they don't say.

BTW, after activation, the card arrived with 10 mins calls, 10 texts and 10 MB free. Also, remember what I said earlier if anyone finds the data doesn't work, I had to change a few APN settings as I found it was set to Virgin Mobile, don't ask me why.

Grow up and ​don't be do stupid, it all depends on personal usage and choice. 3G does everything I need it to as fast as I need. Just because it's not for you is no reason to think it's not for other people.

:confused: you got told

ASDA mobile customer services in the North East are beyond excellent and answer within approx 3 mins.

Name one thing you do on your phone that 3G would be too slow for?

You need to read media reports within the past month and earlier, to see stories about many places in the UK which cannot get 4G, and even their 3G is not always great - not everyone lives in London or Manchester with perfect reception from every network.

I average about 15gb a month and I monitor it. I can easily do 20gb

Lol

Tell me about it, a friend of mine is on Virgin Fibre 76Mbps, while I am on 200Mbps.

Its disgusting, why the government aren't helping these people I have no idea, will send a Christmas hamper over to hopefully cheer them up.

Did 20gb (4G) in 10 days last month. :disappointed: Any ultd data sim only deals floating around (3G would be OK but 4G preferred) Thanks ?

​The poor wretches need blankets and cans of soup too. Look out for your Internet speed limited neighbour this winter. A quick pop round with your iPhone 7s (But don't let them touch it. They're NOT worthy) is all it takes. Merry Christmas :smiley:

​cant get 4g in my area and I use mobile internet as my primary source.

LOL, can't believe how hot this has become so thanks for cooling things down a bit. Yes it would be nice to have 4G (and eventually 5G) absolutely everywhere. In reality we know that day is a long way off whatever the powers that be care to tell us. Anyway, it really depends what you need to do, even if you are streaming, a good 3G signal is more than sufficient but if it's poor you are of course right. That said, even though 4G is potentially far superior, it is not a panacea and the signal may still be poor in areas where there is supposedly coverage.

​currently us 2 three 12gb per month at £22each.

Is this only for one month or is it a rolling plan?

EE's average 3G download speed in the UK is around 7Mb/s, which is faster than many people get for their home broadband (including me).

I live in London and Vodafone 4G is a crock of ****.

phoned them up, basically sim will expire after 30 days. 20gb data package expires 3rd January. Sim can be used in MiFi router, actual words were "I think so". I've ordered 2 one goes in on 3rd Dec , other goes in 2nd Jan. 40 GB 2 months £10 .

​£20

[img][/img]


These results show my laptop tethered to ASDA mobile and wi-fied to my father's supposed 7 MB home broadband connection. It's in a built-up area but the speed is appalling and always has been.

heat for this Christmas bundle. thanks for posting.

Excellent deal, ideal for those visiting the UK over Christmas and need temporary data.

Not quite as good as EE's £10 for 200GB over two months promos, or Vodafone's £10 for 50GB promo, but as those promotions will never be repeated in the near future this ASDA SIM is the best you can get right now for a temporarily high data allowance on Pay As You Go.

would also be interested to know if tethering is included, does live mobile have tethering ? any good ?

​life mobile

This has already been answered.

Yes and yes.

4g coverage is like half of london, indoors its like 80-90%3g

4g is a marketing term to get you to pay more money

95% of placesare h+

Or get 3 for £30 and start using today!?

​why didn't I think of that?

I have been bargain hunting for 7 extra years! :smile:

Which is probably why Three offer 4G at no extra charge.

A good but short term deal. 20 gig 3G only on EE servers is fine for all but the " Useless,, i'm a power user " brigade

don't want to change sim...

Makes my 750mb allowance on Tesco Mobile look positively paltry.

Thanks OP, right now tethering on my PC...

BTW: If you don't want to wait 5 days to get free SIM, pop in to Asda a buy it for 50 pence.

Do anyone know if this applies for existing custmors? As both my daughter's are on asda ta

Yes existing customers can get it

Heat for the deal, but 3G is naff nowadays

Thats a great xmas pressie.
It doesnt get any hotter than volcanic lava.

Do you know How? As topped there phones up to day but bundles due tomorrow

Rang up Asda Mobile, the £10 20GB Bundle, will not be offered to customers until the 3rd January 2017.
So all users on the tariff after this date, when they come to renew their bundle will have to choose one of the networks standard bundles at this deal will no longer be an option...
Ideal if you need data for a short period, but if looking for a long term deal, probably not for you!

Dinosaur with first ever Smartphone :-). What does Unlimited Calls cover?
All mobile networks and landlines (non-premium rate numbers)?
Couldn't find an answer on ASDA site

A 56Kbs modem could use that much in less than a week.

Clueless

​No it couldn't. Nowhere near.

4 tethered screens in a box around me on pornhub in uhd while I chuff away

Oops, your are correct, it would take 5 weeks.
20GB per month = 65 KilobitsPerSecond.

Clueless? 3G is sh i te compared to 4G. Typical fool.

Edit - Lmao at some of the questions you've been asking on the site. Such technological illiteracy shows you have no argument to calling me "clueless".

​should that not be AFTER 3rd January?

3g data not 4g

Can I create a Hotspot using this?

Yes, tethering is permitted on Asda Mobile :smiley:

NICE!, need one. :-)

​Yes but the Samsung note 7 is better at it.

​but my ipad keep disconnecting for some reasons , it never happened with my contract sim card

1.25 mbps down 0.7 up while indoors using a european phone on this asda bundle.

Masts must suck in your area, I get 18mbps down and 4mbps up

Free radiation!, and nothing to show for it too?, hahahahahaha.

What can I say .....

Test ran on iPhone SE

Now why would I need to lie? :stuck_out_tongue: This is honestly a great deal to tether with if you live in an area with good masts

​Thanks for checking... i think this is useful for alot of us ! :sunglasses:

Download speeds much faster in early hours...I can get 1mb per sec about 3 in the morning....hour long mp3 download ..flies...

Anyone actually received their sim yet?

Mine arrived two days after I ordered it.

Still waiting on mine as well!

20Mbps on 3G is excellent. I'd imagine on EE 4G you would get maybe 50Mbps plus but 20Mbps is fine for most needs.

Normal EE 4G Plans are 30mbps, but 4GEE Plans are 60mbps and 4GEE Max plans are their fastest 4G speeds available almost up to 150mbps <3

If you have good coverage on 3 3G, you can get up to 30mbps

U can call international numbers for free

Does anyone know when this promotion will end? As in how long you have to top up? I don't need it right now but will do in December.

Cheers

The end date was mentioned earlier in the thread.

It's more helpful if it's stated directly and put somewhere prominent. It may be mentioned but only in passing because someone wanted it for two months from the third of December.

I honestly didn't think RTFM applied to hotukdeals. :smiley:

If you found the information you wanted I don't see the problem.

I remembered seeing it here, but couldn't remember what it was, so I told you where to look. Maybe I shouldn't have bothered trying to help.

Thanks.

The last day you can sign up for 30 days is the 2nd of January in case anyone else is wondering.

good deal but it would be a ton off hassle having a new phone number just for 30 days.

if i watch NOW TV or AMAZON i seem to use about 1gb an hour, but you tube seems to eat 2 to 3GB an hour so using 20gb is not hard at all.

number porting ?

Can I use this sim in my dual sim phone to up my data allowance. I only have only 512meg at present

Yes it really would!

Done a speed test on my misses and got 14mb

This deal should be on till the 31st December reading the small print for the colleague offer on this. Colleagues can get the same offer for a pound and it said the deals stop December 31st.

I just called Asda Mobile Helpline and its just for that ONE month, its not a rolling contract deal.
If only !!

Yes :smiley:

No

NOT 4G. C'mon this is 2016, when even in countries like Malaysia and India they're running 5G!!

Freezing cold, sorry.

I'll get my coat..

Yes

BT who literally/almost single handedly invented the Telephony Technology as we know it today, are the one's using EE's (a Third-Party's) Network now?.

I find that a bit ironic ...

I have this in my dual sim mobile, speed measured 23.7 mb, was told by asda chance to renew for one extra month. Great deal.

BT own EE in its entirety now. They bought them out last year.

Wonder if it might be worth investing. Say in the future they upgrade to 4g and 20gb of 4g dat a would be lovely for £10 pm

Do you think they're getting 4G in the next few weeks then?
Because after the offer ends you'll get 1.5GB for £10.

Dont know if they will ever but seeing as virgin have just got it, it might not be long. Is this only 20gb during Christmas or for as long as you keep sim?
Then again I'm still on tmobile

Ordered again because after 2 weeks nothing had arrived. Just had email to say that both have been despatched

Same thing happened to me. The first one has arrived today, two weeks later!

Asda signal is rubbish. Not worth it

i asked about this,at asda,and they said,i couldn't use my old number,and had 2 use the 1,there give me

Took 3 weeks to arrive. Bloody hell Asda.

They're wrong. You can ask your current provider for a PAC, which you can then give to ASDA Mobile to keep your number.

Using my 20GB Asda sim on tethering to write this - all good pac code will import my number on Tuesday, Woman on the phone said I could get a 2nd month of 20gb if I just text MEGA again once this months one is over. Hot deal - Speed is fine for web browsing and youtube.

Same here,if i pay £10 after the end of 1st month which ends 27/12/2016 then i will get the same deal again until 27/1/2017.

Initially this looks a great deal but then I realised this won't remain as 20gb for £10 after xmas so I'd rather just take out a contract so I have a guaranteed term for 12/24 months. Still, good deal if it's right for people.

Actually got just over 21 mpbs and regularly get about 15 mpbs thats on virgin 3g

If you have ever used giffgaff's 4g then you will realise that it means nothing...It's 4g is more like 2g speeds. So I am willing to say that the 3g that asda are offering is considerably faster than giffgaff's 4g

Of all things, why compared with giffgaf? Is that the market leader in cellphone technology? I think not..

I'll get try coat..

Giffgaff offer 4g, and you compared it to 4g (5g in other countries) and I am just doing a comparison

I know, I take your point - but there's quite a lot of difference in the performance and bandwidth of the various networks. For example, Life mobile only offer '3G' but people say that its faster than other 'budget' networks' '4G' eg. Tesco mobile or Lyca.

SO basically what I'm saying is that I think we can only compare the 'big' networks with each other - O2, Voda, EE etc

And the cheap networks need to compared with their cheap counterparts..

I'll get my coat...

Phone and texts ok but data too slow to use. Thank santa its only 30 days. I also picked mine up in store - if you wait for them to send you one, it comes by rain dear and took a while. Luckily my other sim is Tesco and tether at 75 MBs.

Info that may be useful to others...

Also, this Asda PAYG SIM (Asda MVNO piggybacks EE network albeit on 3G only) works fine in network-locked EE Buzzard 2 car wifi dongle.

great deal, purchased one yesterday, for £10 you cannot go wrong for 30 days, the data speed seems slow, but it is 3G so can't really grumble. :sunglasses:

Thinking of getting this deal for short holiday use in the Canary Isles. I would like to contact friends in the UK and prob surf the web when not on wi-fi too. Does anyone know if data roaming is charged as an extra? Calls too?

Asda Mobile data, including the data offered in this deal, is for UK use only. This also applies to inclusive calls and texts.

If you want lots of temporary data to use while over in the Canaries, only a Three SIM will suffice.

My MEGA Bundle was due to expire at 7pm yesterday. I'd topped up with £10 but wasn't allowed to renew the bundle early because it hadnt expired.

I was a bit worried about this, and Holiday Call-Centre Hours, so called Cust Svc Human on 2732 before 5pm yesterday (Christmas Day).
The operator was very nice and cancelled and renewed my Bundle in less than 10 seconds.

If your existing MEGA Bundle hasn't expired, you need to do this too, before the Offer finishes, if you want another £10 month's worth.
