I checked with their coverage checker which says I have good coverage where I live, so ordered & signed up to it, it came.

I inserted the sim today and found that from having a good signal with Vodafone, I had nothing around the house, garden or even in our road. Rung them up, cancelled it under the 14 day clause, their sim lasted precisely 30 mins in my phone. Utterly useless.

Got a 12 month deal with VF. 16Gb pcm, UL txts & mins, full roaming within the EU and a choice of Sky Sports, Now TV or Spotify. £19 pcm and I can use it at home.

They wouldn't do this on the phone for my mum, claimed you had to have broadband with them to get this deal! Ordered on web, all good.

For £1 more I'd rather get this from the same company (5GB data/unlimited mins and texts). Just a couple of days to go though

I called and was offered 3.5gb for £8 if that helps anyone.

Just ordered for me and my dad, both times website error at payment stage saying 'no payment taken, try again'. Checked emails and 2 orders for us both. Not a great start, I'll have to ring in the morning.
Beware if you get an error after entering your card details, check for a confirmation before you try again

Does anyone know any fairly cheap sim only deals that include unlimited streaming for services like Deezer? I'm looking at something for my Mother as she uses Deezer a little ever day and it would be more cost effective for her to pay for more data and stream than for me to set up a paid subscription for a music streaming service. Even Spotify's student version is £5 a month - she wouldn't normally go anywhere near her 1gb limit without streaming music, and when you can get 1.5gb for £5 with ID, that means she could get a hell of a lot of data for that extra £5, but I recall seeing some plans that included Deezer. Chances are they'll be over a tenner anyway, but I thought I'd ask!

Thanks for that rok

I've got a legacy bt genie sim only plan. 300 mins unlimited txt and unlimited data £10 a month. This is now £12.78 a month with the RPI increase (even tho the contract was started way way before RPI increases were written in - go figure). The unlimited data now gets throttled when i hit 5gb and its only ever 3G data, i cant use 4G unless i come off the tariff. Seriously considering ditching o2 and taking the £10 deal mentioned above.
Switched my mum to the fiver deal and she hasn't looked back.

It's just the perception of companies like Plusnet and EE. In the past, you hear stories of how their coverage is not that good. Reminds me of T-Mobile. They don't seem to be as trustworthy and reliable as established companies like O2 and Vodafone. And their adverts appear cheap and tacky, which doesn't help.

I'm happy with EE and don't mind signing up to a twelve month sim only, renewal was this week so quoted this deal to EE who have virtually matched it. 4gb of 4g max data, unlimited calls and texts and free access to the bt sport mobile app for twelve months at £9.99 on both my lines.

Can I use it in another country all the time ?

Can i use it on phone locked to EE?

Oh great. Another meh deal from PlusNet that suspiciously gets a load of heat.

Moved all of us to the 5gb/£10 deal and it's been great. The only thing it needs to make it perfect is Wi-Fi calling which is withheld for some reason.

Plusnet use ee network and I'm having to leave them after a few months because of no indoor coverage, which they admit in my area. Hot if you can get ee coverage.

Is this a rolling 30 day contract, meaning I can cancel the direct debit at any time? Don't want to get tied into a 12 month contract. Any help much appreciated

IDM's £9 deal has data rollover so you get theoretically up to 8GB per month for £9 with 1000 mins and 5000 texts

Don't BT own EE?

Just signed up for this deal. The extra 1Gb of data & unlimited calls/texts isn't a deal breaker for me, as I'm more interested in the data than the calls.

I'm currently paying Vodafone £20 pcm for 1Gb data, 500 mins, unlimited txts. So this is a no brainer really.

Am I bothered about it not working indoors? Not really it stops work calling me asking me if I'd like to work my day off. :joy:

I switched from giffgaff to life as it then was (now plusnet). My lunch time download speed went from around 0.1 mb per sec to 8.0mb!

I highly recommend them!

Don't forget this deal. Couple of differences, its a 12 month contract, but you get 'feel at home' in 60 countries, its unlimited calls and text. It includes 'go binge', gives you unlimited data with certain streaming providers which could be very handy for some people.

I would suggest ignore the cashback, go through tcb or quidco if you like, worth a try.

Please be aware that Plusnet do not support calls or texts to short code numbers.

Maybe I'm being unfair, but as soon as I see adverts for the likes of Plusnet and EE, I immediately think "Dodgy!".

With Plusnet and have been for several years (was previously Life Mobile etc) and would recommend providing you get good coverage.

4G speeds are good, customer service has always been good (only used a few times to change packages over the years)

Good bye GiffGaff i'v swapped and not looked back loads quicker data and get it in more places

You can get unlimited mins, unlimited texts and 4gb of data for £9 on Three.

isn't this outfit just BT in disguise?
