Depends what you need! Are you often going to places where only one particular network offers good coverage? Do you call much, or do you eschew calling in favour of using the internet - and if so, how much? Are you just on whatsapp (which is fairly lightweight in data usage) or are you looking to hammer Youtube for hours on end on a regular basis?
Just phoned up 02 today to buy the 12 months contract, as i described in my OP..
Amanda tells me i was told a lie, the best deal i can get is unlimited calls, except to 0800 numbers, unlimited text, except picture text which will be 45 pence each...
and just 3 GB of internet... should have been 2 GB give me an extra one for being good provider.. this for £20 per month...
so what do you all think now ???
For extra £5 three give unlimited everthing
or EE will give comparable deals a d good speed
All depends on what give u personal the best coverage really
As has been said, depends on your usage and what you want it for really. If data isn't really an issue, then Virgin are fine.
If you're a customer of theirs as well, you can get their "unlimited" everything sim only deal for £20 quid a month (which has fair use policies, to be fair, but most networks do nowadays).
I guess there's a certain rationale to that from Virgin's point of view, as because you are a customer they know you are not going to be replacing your home broadband with a cellular connection.
At the moment three's PAYG at £15 does the job for me. Good mobile data reception where I am, plus I can call the local equivalents of 0800 0808 0844 0845 0870 and 0871 numbers quoted by various companies I need to phone by looking up the Say No To 0870 website.
Since when has the plural of text become text?
You pointed out the key thing, good data reception. It does not matter how cheap a deal is or how much allowance you have if the reception and speeds are crap where you use your phone. Anyone considering switching networks should always get a payg sim to try first, don't rely on coverage maps or feckwit phone shop sales people.
HOW???
My guess is its either staff, friends and family or some other company discount. I'd be very surprised if that's a genuine retentions deal
EE don't do 2000 minutes on a sim only contract, so I doubt it is an EE deal.
I would presume it's an old discounted T-Mobile contract. They did some strange retentions deals in the past few years.
Yes they do 2000 Minutes
not according to their website or the deal comparison sites. t-mobile sims can come with 2000 minutes but not EE
Well mine has 2000 minutes on my account each month it tells me how many minutes I have left and it's definitely 2000
Does it say T-Mobile or EE on your PDF bills? Don't worry about the logo on your phone.
You phoned EE or you just dialed 150 on your T-Mobile handset and took a 12 month retention deal with T-Mobile? If that's what you did you arent on EE.
You seem to be confused by the overall EE name, EE when talking network is the 4G network, T-Mobile and Orange are still separately billed sub-brands of the EE group, and you are not on EE (the network) if your bill comes from T-Mobile and you can't access 4G.
So when you log in and view your bill, what name is at the top?
This is an EE bill:

Do you have access to 4G?
That's what my bill is like but on the phone it says 3g
Amazing - must be a store special offer. nothing on the web for that. EE don't do 8GB, but go from 2GB, or 5GB to 10GB - all with unlimited talk and text.
