I am not that bothered about data, my main concern is voice, so people can get hold of me if they need to, like if my Dad is ill.
I have more or less be with vodafone since I got my first mobile phone many many years ago, I did change to BT a few years back when they had that Broadband anywhere package. but went back to Vodafone after the two year contract was up.
I have tried over networks, by getting a sim and using it on a PAYG basis for a month, but vodafone always seemed to be the nest around here until now.
My mobile phone sim only contract comes to the end next month, so I will be looking around and make a list of ones to look closer at, I do not think sky will be in that list even if they have it up and running by then.
i expect they will want people to enter into a contract and to be honest, there are plenty of services that do not have a contract and is seems to be better value than contracts.
giffgaff for instance gives better value that what I am paying now.
I pay £14 a month for 600minutes, which I hardly use, 1GB of data and unlimited text, giffgaff I can get 1GB of data, 500 minutes of voice and unlimited text for a tenner and no contract.
I could even cope with the £7.50 package to be honest, I would have to download my spotify music to the phone from home, that offers 500MB of data, 250 mins of calls and unlimited text.
the other thing that is annoying me about vodafone is their silly two form factor system to sign into their website, no choice on the matter, you will use it.”
Stay away from GG they are the worst network it may say you have 3g-4g but from my experience all i got was cannot connect to network the worst thing was i had a Tesco mobile sitting next to me and that was fine and it wasn't my phone because i switched sim and got the same results both networks run off O2 so you would of thought same signal but no GG gets a third class signal after O2 and Tesco why i don't know because O2 own GG and half of Tesco and for what i have read about GG theirs a lot of people get the same problem with them.
Three is the best in my area where i live and EE Three also share a lot of EE masts so thats why they have a good service in a lot of areas not saying all.
when EE took over form Orange and T-Mobile EE decommissioned a load of mast and some people lost there signal and had to go to another network.
