I'm thinking about this deal too. Just wondering though, do you notice if it drops down to 2G very often? Part of the attraction for me with 3 is the lack of 2G - I use my phone mainly for data so 2G is more of a hindrance than a help.
Cheers. |

EE issues SIM cards that work all three sizes (mini, micro, nano) depending on which bit(s) you pop out.
In fact, if you don't pop them out then they'll probably fit a Motorola 5200 or similar! I'm sure if you need to change, just request a replacement SIM and that's how it will come. |

Buy the order page on mobilephonesdirect asks which sim you want. So are you saying there is just one sim with three different pop outs? |

You get the usual credit card, with a pop out mini SIM, and inside that you can pop out the micro SIM and, again, a nano SIM. There's no holder* so if you mess up, you'd need to tape it to the rest of the 'surround'. In the past, I believe there were separate mini/micro SIMs and a nano SIM, but that stands to reason as there didn't used to be a nano SIM size. I expect that's why some sites (perhaps even EE's site) still asks. * You can buy third party holders to upsize a SIM after if you need to, but be wary of how they can get stuck in some slots. |

That's how all the SIM cards I've had from EE of late have been. I bought a few PAYG SIM cards in the past, and then five Dan & Phil SIMs.

Also how much do we increase prices each year? |

I've got an adapter too, but it adds a very little extra depth and it could (note could) get stuck.
I know because it happened, and I was lucky I could use tweezers to get a grip and pull it out! |

I'm hoping 2G helps me make calls and texts when in smaller villages / country! Probably struggle with data and could force 3G in those instances. |

I've not seen it drop to 2G once yet.

Now do I stay with 3 on my £15 per month with unlimited everything (4GB tethering) or make the switch? To be honest though, I'm still pretty happy with 3 so think I'll hold fire for now and see what happens over the next few months.. |

Thanks. I've noticed the same when using an EE sim in my iPad so pleasing to see the same in a phone.

I just called Three and was offered (all on 12 months sim only, £3 extra if you want a rolling monthly):
600 mins unlim text 1Gb data £10 a month 200 mins, unlim text, unlim data £15 a month and a £20 tarriff. I forget the full details, but I think it was 4Gb data + unlim min/text Not a heavy user but I find EE data speeds a lot faster especially in the evenings, so do I go on their £27.50 sim only tarriff which works out at around £16 after mobilephonesdirect cashback . I still got the PAC code. |

I'm torn at the moment. Who offers better value, EE or Three. And whether EE's next phase of offers/plans will be any better.

Just tried to stream top gear on iplayer. Started buffering straight away. Speedtest shows a dismal 0.2mbps.what a joke. Unlimited data and tethering is fine but is useless when you can't use it.
I'm off to EE but need to decide between the 2gb and 10gb package. |
