When there are so many 30 day deals around this price makes no sense signing a 12 month deal with these guys.

I disagree, searching around for 8GB (currently 4GB) this is the best deal without having to do redemptions or getting cash back extra. So it's a hot deal surely

Not 8GB but ID Mobile has 6GB 1000/5000 for £12 with DR and it's a 30 day rolling. That's better than this one since you can jump off whenever if you see a better deal. Don't know about others but i'd never go back to the 12 month contract trap after escaping it. Love my freedom :joy:

With what's app messaging excluded from the usage and unused data rollover it's a fair price

It's a fair price, agreed. But if you want to test the waters for signal in your area then Plusnet with their 30 day sims are ideal to make sure EE signal masts are doing the business before signing a 12 month deal.
Say for example go to plusnet for 2 months, then when you are happy with signal for voice and data speeds in and around your area, go over to a Virgin/EE deal.

Just be careful with that approach as PN signal will not be as good as VM. They all pay EE to use the service, some more than others and it's known fact that PN are back of the queue when it comes to access, VM get preferential access to the service over PN. EE will then be the best and best speeds overall.
BT own PN but prices are cheaper with PN because they spend less with EE.

Just let you know BT owns both companies Plusnet and EE....Both of these companies are BT...Show me evidence that VM get preferential access to the service over Plusnet.

Surely you're better getting a payg sim to try out? Plenty of buy an EE sim from the EE eBay shop for a quid with a fiver credit preloaded rather than paying a couple of months line rental.

I've just got off the phone and was told the £2 off is if you get a phone too. I explained people were posting about the discount but the lady with the helium voice was adamant it was not available any other way.

I was on a similar deal with VM, on the face of it, it is a hot deal but in reality it's crap, because important calls get bypassed to your voicemail when you have full signal, and on top of that you won't get a message to say you have the (important) voice mail until hours later. This happened with more than one phone, so I know it was the network, in the end I left and I've not looked back. I'm not a Virgin hater as I still have the TV and Broadband package, but I wouldn't touch their mobile network with a bargepole.
