This just came up on my newsfeed and it reminded me that my current plan ends in Jan.

I’m with Three at the moment and pay £12 for 12GB sim only… Over the last couple of months, I don’t think I’ve even used 1GB of that, so I think I need to be searching for new deals.

Do you tend to go with sim only deals, or contracts? Have you seen any good deals lately I should be looking out for?

I’ve been with Voxi for more than a year, I think they’ve got amazing deals, I pay £10 for 12 Gb with unlimited social media. And it’s no contract. The voxi drops can be really nice sometimes, I got a protein shake bundle for free a few months back (which is usually £20-£30).

I am with Plusnet and have been paying £6 per month on a rolling contract for a while now.

Here is their current offer, which, if similar available around January, may suit you if your data usage is low.

I use SIM only as I am more than happy to use my Samsung Galaxy S3 until it stops working or properly supported.

I don’t upgrade _for the sake of it_. False economy to me.

Have you considered Zevvle? Though I’d start by looking at provider coverage in your area.

It’s twice the cost of my tariff, and more! 🤷‍♂️

Ooo this does sound like a good deal - do you know if Whatsapp is included as “social media”?

Barg! How much data do you get with that?

Yes, and it’s been great.

You can get 1GB, unlimited calls and texts and 1 SIM for £10 a month. Sign up with a referral link, and you get a free 1GB too.

Interesting! Is that a free GB every month, or just the first month you join?

1GB for £10 is a really poor deal imo

Plus data?

I think the competition for mobile contracts is so intense, it comes down to differentiation and secondary features. Zevvle has by far the best app I’ve seen for ab MVNO. And the best CS, though things can always change.

Is that extra £48 a year worth it? 😂

Council tax (bottom band covers everything from a bedsit to a four-bed house round me)  
Utilities (standing charges are disproportionate for very low usage)  
Duty (fixed duty on a bottle of wine means you’re paying far more tax as a share of total cost for a £6 bottle than a £60 bottle)  
And on and on

Then out-of-bundle charges…  
Giffgaff charges 25p _per minute_

You can select 1GB and 1SIM with Zevvle for £5 then

> Without the unlimited plan, calls and texts between SIMs on the same account are free, otherwise they cost 3p/minute and 3p/message from your cash balance.

For my money, I’d rather go with a provider who’s trying to find the best deal for everyone, even if it’s a little pricier for me personally. It’s the same reason I’m with Zen - no other company can match their approach

I think they are all the same. On top of that, many providers share the same infrastructure.

At the end of the day, it’s just a game of offers / deals.
