They are offering this deal but with 2000-mins for £6/month; click on the link for this deal above, then "Buy", then click "change plan" and the £6/month deal is offered. 1000-extra mins for a pound :wink:

BTW, this is a 'standard' Plusnet special offer, no affiliate link. Quidco offering £7.50 casback and TCB £3. Expires in 5-days!

Seems good if you want the extra 1000-mins :smile:

I got confused by this as well but I thing they stick all the plans on the same T&C's.

The bit relevant to this plan read:
£5 a month for 1.5GB (instead of 500MB), 1000 minutes (instead of 250 minutes) and 1000 SMS (instead of 500 SMS). Roam Like at Home enabled.Available to new and existing customers signing up atwww.plus.net/mobile/deals/1.5gb/hotukdeals/July17 or by calling Plusnet between 17th July and 30th July 2017.

I think the part you are refering to is for: standard SIM only 30 day plans for new Plusnet mobile customers

Good deal - will switch from 1gb £5 one I currently have.

Anyone know how I would switch as above, from existing customer using 1GB to 1.5GB?
Do I just call them up or can I do it online?

I've never seen any online method of doing it, so I think it'll be a phonecall.

What number is that, the number on the plusnet mobile website is: 0800 079 1133 ?

Plus net costumer here, on the same tariff but paying 5.95. Just gave them a call and they've transferred me to the new tariff. Only thing was they'll have to send me a new 4g SIM which should arrive in 2 days. 5 mins call.
hotukdealls
17 Jul 17 #14
why would they need to send you a new sim if you're already on 4g?
umar88
17 Jul 17 1 #15
call them on 500 from your plusnet number. You will have to migrate tariff. It can be very annoying as they may want to send new sim out as they did to me twice.
you will get there eventually though.

Thanks for this OP.
I called and switched from my old package but it took them a little while to find this deal, might be worth mentioning that you saw it HUKD when you speak to customer services to get the upgrade.

can you get quidco cashback on this deal too?
backinstock to mobsta123
17 Jul 17 #33
I tried by copying the link for the deal and amending the Quidco link, but it didn't track or hasn't so far.
Usually tracks quickly, so maybe only the deals that Quidco have track?
Worth a shot as maybe I messed it up!

17 Jul 17 1 #34
Awsome deal for sure as it ticks all the boxes I would like to get as cheap as £5.

The deal is still not up on their website, went onto live chat and the Plusnet agent gave me deal link but that's HUKD affilate. How weired! Plusnet's own staff giving affiliate link? I don't mind HUKD making commission out of it but it means Quidco/TCB cashback won't track for sure.

Great deal OP, heat added!

I know it can vary hugely depending on location, but how does Plusnet performance compare like-to-like with EE? Previously, I was very happy with LIFE, but I am not sure about Plusnet?

Also, do Plusnet get data 'throttled' when roaming in the EU, especially Italy?

Cheers

Just gave them a call and got switched over from the £5.95/month deal posted a while back. If you're on that tariff like me, they will need to send you a 4g compatible SIM but they give you all the instructions to sort that out.

If they question the deal not coming up on their website, just say that it seems to be an affiliate link (the one provided in this HUKD post) but it definitely takes you to the Plusnet website - they will have no quabbles with that. To be honest, they're probably getting a lot of calls about switching to this deal so I'm sure they know what you are on about.

Good luck and nice find OP!

How do people get away with changing without double payment?

E.g if I order this now they connect within 1 day and don't appear to offer delayed connection.

If i cancel IDmobile they require 30 days notice so will still take a payment next month which means paying for both contracts for this and next month.

Hey guys... Now that plus net offers 4G is everyone automatically upgraded?
AndyRoyd
17 Jul 17 #49
Assuming your current non-Plusnet provider requires 30days notice period, presumably you can only minimise the period of double charge by ordering the PN deal on its last available day (31 July 2017) and giving your existing provider your notice of termination today / ASAP. No double charge if currently a PN customer and formally asking PN to transfer to new deal.

Yeah I thought that would be the case, cheers.

Edit:

Called IDmobile and quoted this deal and they matched 1.5Gb data for £5 a month so no hassle changing ☺️
petermcgregor14
17 Jul 17 #72
Voted hot. But opted for the BT deal as if you're a BT customer you get 3GB for £9 plus you get a £45 gift card for amazon or itunes, bringing the actual cost of the sim down to £5.25 a month if you have need of the amazon card but this is with a 12 month contract. Still great deal for either in my opinion.

Can't see why.
I guess there will always be someone who is unhappy but I joined when these guys were LIFE and they are easy to reach, helpful and the deals are excellent. FAR better tCS than many of the mainstream networks.
Now if you're referring to Plusnet broadband, that may be another issue entirely - separate entity.

RobertM0215
17 Jul 17 #76
Plusnet are generally very good but do not use your phone outside of those countries mentioned in the OPs list. We had a charge of £31 for.....5MBs! All that was done to incur this charge was the data icon was selected instead of the wifi and was immediately turned off. It's all part of the T&Cs so complaints fell on deaf ears - there's no obligation on their part but I was kind of hoping for a little discretion.

I have still voted hot as it is a good deal - so thanks OP for the find.
Thankyou77
17 Jul 17 #77

Sorry to somewhat hijack this, but for those of us unlucky to be in an area with poor or only moderate EE coverage/strength, can anyone comment why O2, Giffgaff and Tesco Mobile (all using O2) don't even care about trying to even approach this deal. For £5 on giffgaff you only get 150mins, 100mb and about 100 texts. Don't care about texts but the difference in mins and data really chaps my hide!
Thar
17 Jul 17 #95
The Life legacy 3G contract which I presume you were on was 5000 texts, this is 1000, so not exactly the same. Only matters if you send "a lot" of texts though.

The only other thing to point out is if you switch you are subject to their annual RPI increase unlike the Life contract.

Nice spot as a broadband customer I get the mates rates double data deal on some sims.
They use EE which I am, so have just saved £5 a month with three times the data.
Heat from me and thank you, not something I tend to look at.

That is what happened to me. I had to call them and spoke to customer service and they dealt with my order. I was told my order was hidden. All sorted now. Give them a call if you have not received a order number. My email arrived about 40 mins after I called them and gave my details again. I may of made a mistake with my card number.

I'm tempted but worried about the no-short-code text thing that people were having problems with. Seems a little dangerous if being sent a text from the wrong number can really make you need to get a new SIM?

i have two sims from them that came from life mobile and the signal is iffy, even in london. they piggy on EE and i have EE as my main sim. Never have a problem with my main EE sim but always problems with the plusnet. it is cheap so it is fine for my dad and brother, but for me, i can't use them as getting constant signal is very important for me.

18 Jul 17 #139
So I tried to sign up last night and my order didn't go through, according to customer services.
I can see a pending payment of £5 on my credit card account.

I already have a SIM with plusnet, if I order an additional SIM do I use my exact same account details when signing up?

Plusnets data is massively inconsistent for me whether I'm in the south west, east or Scotland. It'll go from H+ to 3g+ (which doesn't work) to no service then back to H+ to E and so on. There are times when it's a stable H+ with good speed but then it slows down again later in the evening or just have no data at all or service. I'll be leaving LessNet soon because of this. It's the same on my daughters phone, we have the same phones (Moto G V1) and both have new sims from May this year. I pay £10 for 5gb, 1500 mind & 5000 texts but as cheap as it is its a waste of £10 when the performance is so poor.

Does Plusnet have a mobile bolt-on for international calls? Is there something similar to Talk Anytime International 300 for mobiles?

I moved to PlusNet from EE with the last deal from here, all was ok for a month then I changed my bank so phoned them and paid my bill manually, they then tried to take the direct debit at the end of the month and disconnected me, this put my SIM in a pending status and I have had no service now for 2 weeks and they cannot fix it, as they use the EE network they keep telling me that they are waiting for EE to fix the issue but in the meantime have left me with no phone/text/data :disappointed:

Yeah, you're right about the texts, but I pretty much don't use them. And thanks for the heads on RPI. If the price changes I'll just shop around for something better. Probably my 4th provider in the last 18 months. :wink:

Could be the phone! As you have the same phone. I had a basic nokia and it kept cutting the calls but not always thought it was the network. But it wasn't bought another cheap nokia and bingo no problems at all. If your phone is made in china do you have tinfoil as an antenna? Always double check

Better deal if you need the extra 1000-mins; £7.50 Quidco too means that it works out at less than 0.40p extra per month :wink:
jayjayuk1234
18 Jul 17 #157
Yes, see my post #107

What are we voting on here? all of the plusnet sim deals? or just this £5 one??

My point was that, he said this deal was 'smoking hot' however this deal is a hukd exclusive and has 1000 minutes less than the normal 2000 minutes deal... which is as you (and me previously) pointed out is actually the better deal really, even if it is a quid more, as you get more for your money even if some people won't make full use of all the extra 1000 minutes...

so therefore this £5 deal isn't 'smoking hot' at all and it's actually worse than the usual deal for £6 (which is the deal they seem to have gone for anyway) - and not the deal posted here phew :smiley:
celticprince
18 Jul 17 #158
I don't use the term "smoking hot" unless I am line-dancing :wink:

I think I commented that it was a good deal, but that for an extra £1 you could get another 1000-mins, which for some is a better deal. However, some people (myself included) would consider this a more suitable deal because a 1000-min/month is more than enough and so one would only pay £5/month.

Horses for courses; yeee haaah :smile:
jayjayuk1234
18 Jul 17 1 #159
Exactly, however the person who said 'smoking hot' didn't even go for this deal.... :smiley: they went for the usual £6 one..... which was the point i was making... ( i elaborated on my earlier post before you replied )

maybe they should have voted this deal scorching hot instead, :wink:

Tried to order last night and it failed on the payment.

Wait, if it's a 30 day contract and the deal ends in 12 days, doesn't that mean the price will go up from the 2nd month onwards? Or is the monthly price guaranteed for a certain amount of time?

Ordered this deal about half an hour ago. After I entered the my card detail for the £5 upfront payment (I think this is the last step in the order process, can anyone confirm this?) I got an "oops something went wrong page" so I clicked on the take me back link and then got the "Your order has been received!" page and it said to wait for the confirmation email which I still haven't received yet. So now I am not sure if my order went through or not.
Alnilam81
18 Jul 17 1 #178
Exactly that happened to me. I called up and was told it hadn't gone through but they couldn't give any details as to why. I then did another which went straight to the "Order has been Received" page, but have heard nothing in about 4 hours, haven't chased it up at all yet as been doing other stuff and thought i'd give it a bit of time. My credit should be fine so can't see any issue on my end, but it seems others are getting the same with completely online orders.

18 Jul 17 #184
Unfortunately for me this had been a headache, even thoiugh its a great deal.
Ordered online (in chrome browser) when the credit card payment came up, got an error and to retry, so I did and got Order Confirmed message. However never got any confirmation email, called CS and told no order placed as the order system has issues with Chrome, but unfortunately 2 x £5 had been "reserved" from my bank as pending transactions. The CS advised me to order again via sales on the phone, so I got transferred to Sales who manually took order, then transferred to yet another agent to "securely" take my card payment. The Order confirmed by agent on phone and she said I would receive an email.
All well I thought until I received an email saying that due to Order details mismatch my order had been cancelled, and my christian name on this email was totally incorrect, so again I had to call CS to ask what was going on. The nice guy I spoke to checked my order and said oh yes we have taken your name incorrectly but its ok I'll transfer you to Sales and we can reorder (again)
The sales agent then proceeded to order again but explained yet another £5 will need to be paid (at this point 3 x £5 transactions were already showing on my bank for PlusNet and I would imagine yet another credit check footprint)
To be honest I just refused to carry on and spoke to a Team Leader to give feedback on what a terrible experience this was and wouldn't be bothering. Shame tho would of saved my mother a couple of quid, but due to the hassle, i thought wont bother.

I'm in a similar place, just got off the phone as no orders seem to be going anywhere. After checking for any issues with my bank it seems i've got 4x £5 transactions pending now.

Guy on the phone said that I was getting the whoops page as I was entering mismatching information?!?!? Really don't see how I can be, and if so why take my money anyway and then not tell me anything. Amazingly the guy then said that "nothing will be taken, and it will go back in after 6 days or so", I laughed, pointed out the contradiction, and asked which it would be. He then assured me nothing will be taken, but I somewhat doubt it as he didn't seem sure in what he was saying.

So I've had enough and think I'll just leave it.

I remember when I ordered the last £5 deal that if I changed the name on the direct debit section online it wouldn't go through.

May have changed now but I tried several times for 2 different orders and on both changing the direct debit account name from the autofill caused a something has gone wrong page.

Might switch to this one now, 1500 less minutes but 1GB extra data.

What an insult! I was left with no broadband twice with plusnet. Once for 4 weeks and then again 2 months later for 3 weeks. THEY messed up my bank DD payments and cut me off then told me it would take this long to reconnect me. Terrible company and like you I was offered a pittance of 5 quid !! My partner couldn't even work from home either and had to sit in the local library. They just don't care.

It will either port over no problem within 2 days OR they will mess it up and cause you numerous phone calls because the port was interrupted and you are left with no service for weeks while they fail to sort it out.

I ended up phoning and completing the deal.
Positive is I gave PAC codes and applied the £2 cap and requested a block on premium rate numbers on the sim I have.
Negative, they have to read out all the t&c's and pass you around - a bit like a 'passing the parcel'.
Bless them, they seem to be working hard.

Great Deal... if you can get it.

Seems like a few others on here had similar problems to me with Plusnet's payment system.

I made two separate attempts to sign up for the £6 deal with them on Sunday and then again yesterday. On Sunday I filled in all of my card details and was redirected to a confirmation page saying I'd get an email shortly. Fast forward to Monday afternoon, no email, I spend 30 minutes on hold to their customer services chat only to be told that the payment hasn't actually gone through. So I give it another go online and encounter an error with payment message.

I can't be bother with this company wasting my time, so I ended up taking the £9 deal with Three. Signed up in a matter of minutes, got an instant confirmation email and my sim arrived less than 24 hours later.

I then called up Plusnet few minutes earlier just to make sure that the morning order did go through they said yes. I asked about the 3 x £5 payment reserved by my Bank for yesterdays attempts and was told that it looks while order didn't fully go through for yesterdays attempts, the sims may still have been sent out so I was told that when I recieve the extra sim cards, I should call them up to cancel those to get my 3 x £5 payment refunded.

Guess I'll phone CS sales tomorrow.

Pretty ridiculous situation though;
- Initially orders failing silently after an apparent successful checkout process.
- website now apparently broken, unable to take new orders.
- failed orders simply disappearing, without notifying the customer that there's been a problem. (or a CS agent being allocated to chase up the order/problem)
- CS department for handling "problems with orders" are unable to fix a problem with an order, instead passing you over to sales or suggesting you re-order on the website.
- sales department has a 10+ minute waiting period (I can only imagine how many sales this waiting period is costing them!).
- oh.... and there's this:

Just phoned Plusnet to double check. The failed online order did not go through, but the first month's line rental has been requested from my card; as Plusnet will not receive it, the money will be put on hold and returned within 5 working days. The chap did say I could phone the bank/credit card company to speed this up, I'm not bothered though as long as it comes back to me.
For the subsequent phone order, they confirmed it has all gone through and SIM in the post etc., but I have not yet received any text or email confirmation - it should arrive at sone time between now and the SIM delivery.

They're just authorised transactions (I've got 8! :laughing: )
If the transaction isn't confirmed (as it presumably won't be for failed orders), they'll disappear after a few days.

I'm more worried by the Direct Debit orders that have been created; as far as I can see, there's no way of tracking the status of those through my bank's website.
:edit:
I stand corrected, there is an interface for managing DDs; it doesn't yet list any DDs to plusnet though.

tried a couple of days ago, kept getting the error, then it went to you have failed the credit check, no chance, funny that since I have the kids on PlusNet and the credit details are mine. Checked credit report multiple entries showing on the account so no wonder they wouldn't offer me another account. Went on today and ordered no problem, if I wasn't needing to change because of poor service from Virgin and these were the cheapest out there I wouldn't have bothered trying again.

Just swapped from 3G to 4G sim, they sent the sim yesterday, got it today, swapped sim via phoning 500 , apart from being on hold waiting for them to answer it took less than 10 mins before everything up and running.
Did speed test and getting over 22mb so much quicker

Finally, got through to sales and managed to place an order; Hallelujah!

Really weird the way they pass you between different staff members; doesn't seem very time efficient.
They must pay significantly more to the staff taking the payment details, than to the monkeys that do the laborious T&C dictation.


Check your spam folder?

I received my confirmation email within 10 seconds of the guy confirming the order; so fast I was able to read the order reference number out to him rather than him read it to me!

If you look at the T&C then "Roam like home" is £2.50 extra for non plusnet broadband customers.
Misleading advertising.

"Our standard SIM only 30 day plans for new Plusnet mobile customers:
Our £5.00 plan is UK Only, meaning that you can only use your mobile to make and receive calls, send texts and use data when in the UK. You will not be able to use your mobile when you go abroad. You can still use your mobile to make international calls when in the UK.
UK Only:
Non-Plusnet broadband customers: £5.00 a month for 500MB of data, 250 minutes & 500 texts.

I got confused by this as well but I thing they stick all the plans on the same T&C's.

The bit relevant to this plan read:
£5 a month for 1.5GB (instead of 500MB), 1000 minutes (instead of 250 minutes) and 1000 SMS (instead of 500 SMS). Roam Like at Home enabled.Available to new and existing customers signing up atwww.plus.net/mobile/deals/1.5gb/hotukdeals/July17 or by calling Plusnet between 17th July and 30th July 2017.

As others have said: use Internet Explorer if you want your order to go through successfully!

I ended up with the dreaded 'oops' error message twice by trying to book this deal first through Chrome, then through Microsoft Edge. I tried a third time with Internet Explorer and finally it worked! My order number showed up on the web page after completing the booking process, and I also got an email confirmation immediately.

Great deal. Going against a trend I actually quite like Plusnet. Already have a plusnet sim and a previous BB customer back in the days just around when BT bought them out (remember the Force9 days?), however, I do find it quite ironic that an internet company can't seem to take online orders on anything other than IE.

I 'ported' for the first time ever to Plusnet 3 weeks ago and was really worried. Called 'em up. They said the process would start from the next day and could take up to 24hrs. The day after this my old number went dead for 2hrs and it then switched over to my new Plusnet sim. I've got a duel sim phone so could basically see the process happening. They are the Swiss clock of the mobile world from my experience. And their customer service is pretty dam fantastic too.

22 Jul 17 1 #292
The porting did actually complete today, even though they stated Monday after failing yesterday.
I agree with how good their customer service is though, when you do actually get through. Maybe busy with recent orders? After several apologies, I had to tell them 'no need to apologize'. :-)
Great deal though.

I ordered the £6/Month standard deal a couple of weeks ago and found that their incompetent website (for whatever reason) wouldn't let me use Google Chrome. It looked like everything was fine until after the payment details were entered, payment was taken, but no confirmation was given. They automatically refunded me a few days later.

After that refund I tried again using the Microsoft Edge browser and everything went through fine. Suggest that you guys do the same until they sort it!

The Google Chrome issue is a legacy of Life Mobile - couldn't use it then either.

I successfully managed to get hem to 'upgrade' my 3G sim to the above deal for £1 less, so happy with that.

Plus they will text me weekly Allowance updates (in the absence of an App to check it I guess)

How did you guys even manage to sign up to this? I was trying all week on different days and times of the day but every time I get a different error message. Rang them up to be on hold for 30 minutes - was at work so had to give up.

I've just called them now to do it over the phone - said they are having problems with their website (why no message on there then?) and as I've tried to sign up 4 times in their system, they can't sign me up for another 30 days. What a shambles.
margamboy
23 Jul 17 #303
The deal with 3GB of data & 500mins for the extra £3 is pretty good as well, I suppose it depends on your circumstances but 500mins of the phone attached to your ear would be more than enough for most, I find its the data I keep running out each month and should I run out of minutes just use the whats app calls. With all the smartphone apps etc 1.5Gb ain't alot and then additional data charges kick in.
mr_hercules
23 Jul 17 #304
Me too. After going through all the order, payment, and verification stages, the website would say "Session Timeout". Checked my bank's pending transactions and there it was, sitting there, so I rang them. Guy said I'd likely entered something wrong since it didn't show up at their end, so I tried 4 more times over 2 days. Now got a list of pending transactions for a fiver each and no simcard!! Incidentally when I rang them the guy said not to bother phoning the sales line since they were innundated. Not much good to me since I've already told TalkTalk where to shove it since their 'retention' deal was about £16 for 1 GB data!!!!

For £8 the only other networks that come close for a 30 day contract are ID mobile or 3 on their 12mth packages but then your at the mercy of the three network coverage, so overall with PN using the EE network infrastructure you can't really go wrong for £8 a month and if a better deal comes along your not tied in for 12mths.

SIM should be delivered within 2-days. I will backup call|txt logs...Whatsapp and that is it!

It was a no-brainer really, thanks OP!

Just changed both of my SIMs over from the £5.95/month deal to this. Other than the 1/2 hour wait to speak to someone, once through the customer service has been absolutely fantastic. Such a great change to be speaking to somebody in the UK on a good line rather than somebody in some distant country on a poor quality connection that I can hardly understand.

Four attempts at getting this deal. First time it went through but no e-mails or SIM card. Contacted Plusnet who said order had failed. Tried again. Twice went through to payment for first month but said session had expired. Tried on Internet Explorer and got same message. Checked card and there are three requests for the first payment. So have given up and joining ID Mobile who have same deal.

Was on £8.50 plusnet deal changed over last week to £5 deal using online chat. Got email to confirm and they had put me on a £6 deal. Had to go online chat again and got 2nd confirmation email saying i would change to £5 deal on 24th July. Checked my online account today and am still on £8.50 deal. Spoke on live chat and i have now been told it did not go through and my £5 deal will now start on August 24th. Mistake after mistake with Plusnet and they never seem to learn from then.

Also don't understand how i can't get a signal in some places indoors when other people are using EE and virgin and they can get a signal in the same place. Very strange as all use EE network. :disappointed:

26 Jul 17 #341
Yes, Just went through the whole rigmarole giving all details etc to time me out and get my information for nothing; This is becoming quite common with big business offering these deals for just this information gathering purpose?
Fair enough if you were the 1 in 100 that was not conned by this scam.
If this has happened to you please spread the word.
MrFizzy
26 Jul 17 1 #342
That may be true but, if we assume RPI stays at a steady 3.5%, then it will be 6 years before the current £5/month exceeds £5.95 and, only by year 12, will the £5.95 tariff be better value than the £5+RPI tariff. So I guess if your looking for a long term saving then the £5.95 deal is better. This is of course assuming the cost of the £5.95 deal doesn't go up in this time.

I switched to this deal via on line chat, simple process. using the new 4g sim was a little messy as the letter wasn't clear in stating that the sim had to be activated BEFORE it would work which could be problematic if you have ported in your number or do not have another phone to ring them.

I was a life mobile customer and have had no issues with plus net.

on a separate note I was looking for a sim for one of my grandchildren and was going to get this deal. however I looked at ID mobile and ended up with 2000 minutes ( after the first month of 500 ), 5000 texts and 1.5gb 4g data for the same £5

Has anyone managed to get tethering to work?

I've got 2 SIMs on this tariff, and have tried them in 2 different android devices(with different versions of android); neither gave internet access to tethered devices.
Plopped in my 3 data SIM, and tethering worked immediately.

I didn't realize Android offered the capability for SIMs to distinguish the source of IP traffic.
Moreover I thought plusnet permitted tethering! (Their FAQ certainly indicates as such)

I don't know much about Plusnet, what are they like in changing their deals as it states "Prices, content and terms may change at any time during your contract" on their legal blurp.

Being a 30 day contract I'm thinking they're going to change this deal not long after you've moved over to them.

I had the same problem of the time out. Just watch you don't get charged.I asked webchat and they said they knew of the problem and by entering the payment details it would be a pending transaction but "should" be removed automatically
adamguest1985
27 Jul 17 #354
Same thing. Timeout at payment - the money's seemingly left my bank's available balance though. So, is that just pending authorisation, and the bank will kick it back in a few days, or what?

Also, do these failed attempts mean we're having credit checks run multiple times, does anyone know?

Finally, has anyone successfully signed up and then changed their Direct Debit date without hassle? Chat tells me it's possible, but they don't fill me with confidence, to be honest.
mystery_man
27 Jul 17 #355
It is showing as two requests for payment from my bank as pending payment so I will have to call them when they open just keep an eye out that you don't get charged
mr_hercules
27 Jul 17 #356
To those whose payments don't go through, have you tried using IE? Because unless you haven't read this thread, you only have yourselves to blame. At multiple points of this thread it says that it only works on IE. Maybe the OP should mention this in his opening spiel...unless they've retired off the referral bonuses from THAT freedompop 'deal'?? (annoyed) :wink:
mystery_man
27 Jul 17 #357
When I spoke with webchat and told them of the timeout error, they never mentioned a certain browser they just simply said "we know - there is a database error" It was then I said that I wanted to confirm that my card will not be charged and they replied yes it will but it should be removed automatically the next day. Somehow I don't like the words "should be" and he never mentioned this Until I asked him outright.

Apparently it's a misconfiguration of plusnet's network; they're blocking DUN traffic.
Bydefault Android 4.4+ uses DUN as a way of flagging traffic that originates from a tethered device.

It's quite easy to disable in Android:

https://community.plus.net/t5/Mobile/Tethering-doesn-t-work-on-unlocked-Lenovo-B-or-Huawei-Y300/m-p/1462014#M5418

Though such tinkering really shouldn't be necessary.

Plusnet really need to get their shiz together;
- website that can only accept orders from an obsolete browser
- utterly useless sales webchat that can't actually process sales
- network that blocks tethering on legitimate devices, when it's an advertised feature.

Timed out with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox...

Now I need to see what damage this has caused to my credit history.

UPDATE: Because I'm a masochist, I tried IE too, which would have worked, had my credit card company not declined the transaction. Ah well, I can only blame myself for not reading the thread properly.

UPDATE 2: Someone stop me, because I can't stop myself. I tried with a different CC, and I got the same card payment failure. So IE doesn't work either... I'm done with this "deal", not trying anything else.

Wish I had read all the thread as I went through it at least 10 times before reading up and using the old Ie to place an order. I didn't see anywhere to enter a pac code during the order, did you?

The welcome email contains the following re porting:

Your new number is xxx. But everyone from your neighbour to your plumber has your old one. It's quite possibly your longest standing relationship, so if you don't want to break up with it now, clinging on to your old digits is simple:
1. Text PORT to 07507307996 free from your new Plusnet SIM
2. Reply to our message with the number you want to keep along with your PAC code
3. Give us about 1 - 2 working days for the transfer to happen
If there are any problems we'll let you know, but we'll try our best to make this run smoother than your dance moves on a Saturday night.Prefer to talk? You can also keep your number by calling us free on 500 from your mobile.

Can just confirm works with Internet Explorer when placing an order. Don't use Microsoft Edge (All blue 'e') but type in search box internet explorer and should be an 'e' with a yellow band across it. Received confirmation email instantly. Tried with chrome twice , they 'took' two payments for £5 , but that will be returned after a week. Also to port your number you can call 500 after receiving your SIM or text PORT to 07507 307 996

Has anyone successfully used this for tethering on android, without messing with DUN settings or whatever?

Gone from GiffGaff £10p/m for 2GB | 500 mins | Unlim. texts to Plusnet £5p/m for 1.5GB | 1000 mins | 1000 texts. Might go for the £8 since EE actually has good 4G unlike GiffGaff's 4G which is utter trash.

I was going to apply for this but noticed in the T&C's - Available to existing Plusnet residential broadband customers signing up at www.plus.net/mobile/deals/julybboffer1-5gb before 1st August 2017.......do you think I would get it as I am not a PlusNet customer?

Nothing but trouble so far. Online order didn't go through but had to wait 1.5 hours in a queue on chat to be told this. Then had to phone up to place the order and they cut me off and didn't phone back for hours. Now a week after receiving my SIM it doesn't work, but they tell me they got my sort code wrong. The SIM takes 2 working days to activate after you receive it. Mine still not working. Awful.

Well I eventually figured out you have to use the old internet explorer, not edge or chrome, once I did that it went through. Ordered Friday, Sim arrived Saturday and I put it in the phone last night and it activated within 2 minutes.
