300 minutes is sufficient for the many who bought an All In One 20 (ex 15). But you can pay an extra fiver if you need an extra 200 minutes.
AYCE data on PAYG was just an insurance policy for most to ensure they don’t run out of data before the month ends, not for consuming anywhere near 50GB of data let alone well in excess. At least for most they are still offering a good amount of data on the All In One 20 unless you need a lot more.
The problem for those who consume more than 12GB of data every month are going to have to pay a tenner more for it compared to up to last August (or even up until now if you bought several All In Ones before last August queued) but don’t need 301 to 500 minutes worth of calls. 200 extra unused minutes for effectively a tenner more is poor value and a whacking increase until recently or until now. You will in effect be paying 5p per minute for the extra 200 calls compared to the old All In One 15 whether or not you actually make them which is more expensive for them than the 3p per minute charge on the 3-2-1.
Best advice if 12GB of data is more than sufficient for you that you can do a 3-2-1 on any extra minutes of calls you make in excess of the 300 minutes per month, provided you make no more than an extra 166 minutes worth of calls.
