I tried to "register" for this lot, very strange because they refused my application after their "3rd party" authentication process failed, no idea what that means, however after 4 tries i gave up - TPO have some terrible customer service reviews too....good headline sell but cold from me, they're far too picky over who they accept - even though its no credit check they STILL check you details etc and refuse you if they mess up... avoid

Personally I'd go with plusnet 5GB 10 quid, they have good customer service.

Heat added btw!
I have 2 TPO SIMs from the £3.99 deal on here - although I just got stung with network use as there's no capping...

Lebara offering unlimited calls to UK and 43 destinations, 1000 texts, 5GB internet for £12 seems to be better option. They use Vodafone network.

I've been using these lot for around a year.
Very good network tbh and internet speeds are more than good enough.
Never had a problem

I had a terrible experience a year or so go. Porting my number was a nightmare and after a couple of months they put up the price. Luckily it was a monthly rolling contract and was able to leave. Never again with TPO.

Does this support Wi-Fi calling. Useful in areas of poor reception?
