Unlimited Data Plans

Hi

Im on o2 at the moment and have been for years. Im on a sim only plan and pay £21 a month with unlimited texts & calls but on 1 GB of data.

Im thinking of changing to Three as they have all you can eat data for £12,90 a month which sounds better as do need unlimited calls and texts.

Is there anything wrong with Three or anything hidden in there all you can eat data plan? signal looks ok where i am in se london. Its for an iphone 4s

Thanks

Get O2 to unlock your iPhone by filling out the form on their website. Then get a Three PAYG sim, put it in your unlocked phone, and check what the actual signal is like, don't rely on the signal checker on the website.

Three's unlimited data IS unlimited. The £12.90 a month allows all types of use, with the exception of tethering (using your phone's connection with your tablet or laptop). If you want that functionality, then Three have an £18 option which includes tethering.

My phone is unlocked anyway as i bought it from apple and not o2.

Just want the extra data so i can listen to radio app in the car through the bluetooth.

Definitely make sure you try with a PAYG SIM first. I recently tried Three's rolling month SIM, but got absolutely no signal in the office. Not Three's fault, coverage outside the building was great, but sitting in the middle of a large office block meant I got no signal at all. Have moved to GiffGaff now, £12 goodybag with unlimited data, no issues with coverage.

Three do an all you can eat package for £15 on payg too.
They do not seem to police the tethering as much as on contract.

There isn't anything really hidden, it is pretty much unlimited, except they manage P2P between 3pm and 12am I believe.

You can get 300 minutes, 3000 texts and all-you-can-eat data for £15 top up on pay as you go aswell if that sounds better for you, otherwise you can go for the £12.90 deal.

It might be worth just getting a pay as you go sim first then to see if the signals ok then but im guessing it can not be as bad as o2 and there 3g i have at the moment, Then if it is fine get the £12.90 deal and change my number over.
