Anyway, all done, so I will see what happens over the next month.
Their sim only contracts are cheaper as well.
With vodafone I pay £13 a month, for 300 mins voice, unlimited text and 750MB of data.
For just under a tenner with 3 i can get 1Gb of data, 600 mins of voice and 5,000 text.
I don't use any more than 10 text a month, so the reduced amount of text is no worry.
i could go for the £6.90 plan, with is 500MB data, 200 mins voice and 5,000 text. I would cope fine on that and still save over a fiver per month.
the only minor problem i have with 3 is no tethering, not that I have used it much, so not a huge problem.”

Have you tried tethering, because with the old fixed data caps like 1GB they didn't used to care if you tethered. I think it depends which tariff.
It is worth a test as the worst they are going to do is display a block page, reboot the phone and it'll go. You may find as it's a fixed 1GB of data that they don't enforce the tethering block.
