Lots of people posting 'better' deals but forgetting that they are on 12 month contracts, whereas this one is 30 day rolling...

Would be good if their network wasn't garbage!

Doesn't mean you will get good signal.

Contract up this month with Virgin Mobile. Can I keep same number and swap contract/package within same operator? i know we can with different companies.

This is what I am on:
5000min
Unlimited Texts
6gb 4g data with rollover goes to 8gb
30 days sim
£10 month

Has anyone been able to upgrade onto a 4G Virgin plan and retain the old tariff free 08 inclusive number perk (including 0844 and 0871)?

That seems to be the silent trade-off.

Have to fully disagree. More and more 4g available on 3 now and their feel at home is amazing when I go to the states and Europe

You have to go through the uSwitch website in order to get Three mobile deal of 600min, 8Gb 4G & Ultd text. Also its a 12 month contract.

Its the new 4G contract. Yes it uses the EE network. I've had no issues with quality or service since being on their 4G plan over the past 4 months.
Even when I was on 3G I only ever had signalling issues in one location.

Really? Where?

​
​98% coverage with EE's network

Subjective.

I was offered 30 days simo deal 5000 minutes unlimited text and 6gb 4g data for £10 month as a current customer.
My sim will be delivered by yodel tomorrow.

Another great thing about Virgin Mobile is that Whatsapp and Facebook don't count towards your data allowance:

http://store.virginmedia.com/virgin-media-mobile/flexible-plans/free-whatsapp-facebook-messenger.html

is this retention deal or new customers

Talkmobile still the best deal £15 sim deal 2500 mins 5000 text 15GB data - monthly contract only and tethering allowed

Not bad however I got sim deal with EE unlimited minutes, txts & 9gb data for £11 also includes bt sport for 12 months.

Either you are paying £10 for 2GB or get 3GB for £12. I am in the same boat as 3GB of data does not seem much nowadays.

What network deal do you compare to when asked

Retention deal. just got to push for it.

and how did you get this?

ORDERED !!

Ive posted this before you can get better than this..

my current deal.

my deal is better

£1 for international call within Europe whereas ID mobile charges 6p :smiley:

​You can't get cashback on a USwitch deal. The 3 cashback via Quidco has to be for a click-through direct to the 3 website where, as already mentioned, you won't find that deal.

"I think EE don't mind"
Of course they won't mind, they want you to use up your data allowance as fast as possible so that you'll pay for additional data.
The question is, would they mind if you had unlimited data on your plan ?

It says in their terms and conditions under 'General Mobile' "Tethering and peer to peer file sharing prohibited." Are we sure you can tether on these?

TalkMobile are offering 12GB for the same price. Their signal is complete **** in the West Midlands though & it's a 12 month contract, luckily I cancelled within 14 day period

Reasonable, but if you're willing to make a little extra effort you'd be much better off with http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ee-sim-only-deal-7gb-data-unlimited-mins-text-16-99-month-4-50-redemption-203-88-2637068

Only disadvantage with EE is that the data doesn't roll over. However, the LTE speeds are not capped, and you get free BT Sport and Apple Music for six months.

I could spend 90 minutes describing the painful 7 hours I have spent articulating and re-articulating during roughly 20 calls made in the last two weeks on hold, fobbed off, cut off, assured the problem was fixed, promised 4 call backs none of which happened regarding the issue of broken voicemail, having joined Virgin 3 weeks ago.

Apart from the abysmal service, the problems described and the fact that all my calls drop out when I'm on the ground floor of my freakin' house, I have no complaints about this POS network, their flaky signal, or their stultifyingly ill-informed powerless script-reading call-centre monkeys.

no it is not 4g it is 3.5G !

Good luck using that data. Slowest network I've experienced in London.

The same, Virgin Mobile. And it's a rolling 1 month contract.

Damn that's some deal! :wink:

Go on Uswitch website and select Three on the left hand side, you will see this deal on top of the page.
Don't forget to book this VIA quidco to get 50£ cashback :smiley:

https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/compare/sim_only_deals/

That link does not work and I cannot find that deal on their website. Do you have a direct link?

May be good as to what is out there​... I got 5000 mins, unlimited texts, 20gd 4g for £15pcm... 30 day rolling contract... Can't complain!

And if need more mins we can get 5000 mins, 6GB for 13 £ through sales team in phone,

There's a better deal with Three, 8GB - feel at home for 12£ plus 50£ cashback with Quidco , less minutes though, it depends if you are an heavy talker or not.

Tethering works on my phone fine, I have had it since the deal in January.

I just called Ee to get a decent deal. £15 a month. 20gb data. Unlim mins and texts. 500gb European data. Plus European calls.

Just got my SIM, can confirm tethering does not work. I can set up the hotspot on my phone and connect to it on my laptop, but when I do so there's no internet connection available.

Still, cracking deal for £7 if you don't need tethering.

Just spoke to retentions and got offered this package for £7.

After speaking with 2 operators managed to get one month free credit for £12 plan. Still better than nothing :smiley: thanks for the tips

All I can suggest is make sure you quote the plusnet deal - she brought it up on her computer then went to discuss with manager before agreeing, and don't give up, they often offer you something worse first so make sure you are politely threatening to leave if you don't get the £10 matched

That depends on how much data you use! This is for my wife who uses about 1gb or so. We got the 20gb £15 but decided to downgrade and this 30% discount is perfect

Called them with the same request, after holding while they check with retention team 2 times, they returned to me and said they no longer can offer 6gb plan for 10GBP. Any suggestions/tips what to say to them? :smiley:

I am not sure if anyone have face a bar on phone if you use alot of data even though its 20gb .. as i noticed they have suspended lines for many people who often call 0871 0844 which was in their old 3g tariff allowance. My other line was barred few days ago as i use average 800 ninutes a month out of 5000 minutes and they just offered a pac code to me.

They're mugging you off, the were offering existing customers 20 GB 4G Sim Only Virgin Mobile + 5000 min + Unltmd txt £15.00 on a 30 day contract.

Plus £20 topcashback

This deal by comparison is rubbish and the only reason they continue to chop 'n change them is because people like you are willing to play their game and bite the bullet on their no so good deals.

Shocking service or no service
Technical support a joke
Bargain or not stay clear

(existing customer) After some negotiation with them, and showing them the Plusnet 4gb + 1500 + unltd texts for £10, they offered me this tariff (6gb+2500+ultd) for £10 :smiley: happy! Worth a go

I had a phone call from them offering me £6 per month with 2500 min, ult text and 4GB data as i have tv, broadband and telephone.

Try to call and bargain with them. :wink:

Was already on 2GB + double data and just managed to add triple data for free under 'Manage add-ons' on the website. Cheers OP!

Does anyone know if this deal has ended? Or yet to go live? It's showing £25 for me.

Can't tether on these

£6 Quidco available as a little extra.

Tempted to switch, paying the same on Giffgaff for 2GB so might as well really.

voted hot, thanks OP :smiley:

And it's a rolling contract so can cancel anytime. Not a 24 month like stated

My misses just phoned them. The misses and my son was on 2gb for £12 each. They just changed it to 6gb with no extra charge. Happy days. Cheers OP

I just transferred over two numbers from O2 to Virgin using those deals, the £6 and £15 plans. I remember there being a timer at the top saying it would expire at the end of Jan but their page is still showing the deal but as others said it's not applying the discount online.

I just tried to get my friend to upgrade online using his account and it's showing the 20GB plan for £24/mo now. We'll give them call tomorrow and see what we can do.

Forgot to mention, the signal isn't that great but is decent enough. I travel a lot for work so the 20GB rollover each month if not used is awesome, I've cancelled my 32GB EE sim which was available back in November.

Got the 20GB data deal for £15, on the 30 day rolling contract two weeks ago. It's more than adequate in London.

Have a 4G EE mast over the road from my house and get 57Mbps Download 15Mbps Upload on BT Mobile, yet 25Mbps Download 8Mbps Upload on Virgin.

There is a speed cap on Virgin, but that's still fast enough for most mobile needs really imo.

I value the cheap price compared to non BT Broadband customers and 30 day contract on Virgin for flexibility. The data carry over is also cool.

It's a 30 day rolling contract. Not 24 months

So this is 4G using the EE network? Anyone using Virgin 4G already? Any issues with them (London) quality/service?.

Good price but It's a 24 months contract, no thanks

Virgin need to stop using generic T&C's with their deals ffs...

At this rate unless you have the carbon copy in hand you don't know what you're signing up to..

Do they have 4g yet?

You can also get unlimited (3G) data, unlimited texts and 100 mins for £10. For me personally that works out better as I make few calls and don't want to worry about data usage.

I am with Virgin mobile and never had a problem with the network, probably as they use EE as the carrier.
Not a bad deal but will stick with the one I currently have, 5k min, 5gb data and unlimited texts, £10.

get unlimited min and text and 8gb for 12 on theee

It's expired , now they have a new offer , it's not really rocket science

does not show as an option for existing customers. shame

The 20gb for £15 has expired now :disappointed:

The Get Deal link doesn't work for me but if you go through to Our Products/Mobile/SIM only this deal is showing as an option there.

Not live yet, also the £25 20GB deal shows as £15 on order page but now £25 in checkout
