Good value, but yet another slightly different tariff from Plusnet... This was £5 a month, but with only 1000 minutes not so long ago.

I think the last plans for those went a while ago from seeing previous comment to that question. However most of those numbers have been replaced or you can use the saynoto website or other apps to avoid the charges.

Thank god. It's been almost 2-3 days since the last PlusNet deal. I was getting worried their PR department was trapped in a lift.

I've tried two different cards, and it won't take card payment. Anyone else having this issue?

Just check your emails before you try again. I got the error 3 times when trying to enter card details with the assurance that no payment had been taken. Lo and behold, 3 confirmation emails and 3 SIM cards turned up 48 hours later. It was a pain to cancel them as you have to wait until they are delivered and active to cancel and it then takes a further 5 days to get a refund

Also just to add, I gave the kids my phone as i used to when i was on O2 to keep them happy in the back of the car. 15 mins later I got a text to say I had used 80% of my 5GB allowance. It appears the superfast 4G had buffered the entire youtube video they had watched in the background and used most of my months data. It's £1.50 per 100mb if you go over or a bolt on of 500mb is £6.

My missus did this on hers, didn't know WiFi was off. Have dropped the smart cap to a fiver. Also educated her on the difference between WiFi & mobile data. You can also block YouTube (or any other app) from using mobile data too.

How do you manage the blocking of YouTube when on mobile data
score01 to gogboy
9 Sep 17#20
On IOS/Apple - settings - mobile data
if you scroll down the screen you can toggle enable or disable for each appto use mobile data.

Settings - general - restrictions
enable restrictions and there is an option to prevent changes to mobile data use

Excellent thanks, we tried that screen time but was a waste of time with Apple

It's somewhere in Android settings, you can specify whether an app can use wifi & mobile data of wifi only, or block them altogether.

Yeah i appreciate the difference however on o2 i was on a legacy tariff so i was only allowed 3G data that was never quick enough to download a whole hour of peppa pig so it was never an issue. At least it shows the plusnet (EE) 4G signal is fast in my area. I have restricted youtube background data and set a warning on my phone to alert me once i reach 4GB.

Good deal but terrible customer services if you ever have a problem.

I have yet to hear of a mobile network with great customer service. Everyone complains about theirs!

I have called them a number of times for various reasons regarding both mine and my oh's contract and I have always found them to be most helpful and in most cases they have sorted the problems out for me in a reasonable timescale.

What's their capping like? Looking for a cheap deal for my autistic son and don't want him to go over at all if possible
I thought the deal pic was Dave Gorman for a second.

New Plusnet customer here,
You know how when you pick up your voicemails you get something like "To hear the number of the person who called you, press 4" ?
Well not on Plusnet! That's right. They just confirmed during the 5th call to customer services that they don't offer an ID service.
There's no way to get the number unless the person calling reads it out loud. You know, like back in the 1990s. The
previous 4 agents assumed something was wrong with the voicemail set up
and tried resetting it each time. Because who would assume otherwise?
I wonder what further rudimentary functions of a phone I will discover
are beyond the limit of Plusnet's capabilities, in the time it takes for
a SIM to arrive from an alternative network.
(Backstory blah:
I've got 30+ voicemails from people responding to an advert, almost all
of whom didn't leave their number. like me they assumed I would be able
to retrieve it in the voicemail options. My phone was turned off
deliberately for half that time, so there's only a partial list of
numbers to manually sift through and reconcile via the time codes. And
it only took the Plusnet call centre a total of 80 minutes to work it
out).

Nice, only signed up with Plusnet last month and was on a similar £6 offer but with less data and minutes, as I didn't really care for the unlimited texts I had, who even uses text when there's things like Whatsapp now!
I contacted customer support via their chat thing and got it switched over to this new tariff for the next billing cycle. Fairly painless tbh.
