a new mobile phone

[stevewool]

well it looks like i am in the market for a new sim and new provider too,
I am not interested in a new phone just a good deal, but whos sim do i go for , i have got it down to tesco and virgin , any thoughts boys and girls,

[Dedworth]

Virgins probably the lesser of 2 evils - I know I looked before (thread on here somewhere) at a Virgin Sim only monthly deal.

[stevewool]

thats what i am heading for too, but virgin is the one that is finishing my contract, so that is why i am changing,wish there was someone better out there, then i can tell them to shove it

Hiya Steve I can honestly say I have been with virgin many years on various contracts payg ect and have never had a problem with them always found there customer services excellent.

I know they offer cracking deals especially on the 30 day rolling contract sim only, basically means your not tied in and can leave anytime for example if lets say you call them on Feb 1st to cancel the rolling contract and your next bundle is due on Feb 9th then on that date your contract would be ended no tie ins.

Anyway mate just take a look...:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I've been with several providers. Found 3 to be the best.

[stevewool]

thanks there Mark, i have been with them for years too, and its time to go the sim route, i am happy with my old phone so if i can save some cash and like you say if i am not happy after 30 days , just change to something new

I've been SIM only with o2 for about 3 years now - I saw through being suckered into the free phone / free upgrade scenario. Keep your phone if your happy with it or get a good phone purchase deal outside of contracts.

I cant change my wife's way of thinking she thinks a free iPhone and 2 years @ £37/month ( rising with RPI) is a good deal :cwm25:

I never notice anyone's mobile, mine cost me £5 and it will last me forever, I can receive calls and make calls, also can send and receive texts, a phone's a phone!

Check out this lot £0.00 per month 200mins - I know someone who did some sort of annual deal with them for £15.00

I think it hangs off Vodafone network a bit like GiffGaff is o2

Not if you're using it as your main source of computing, as well....It's then a device :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thanks for the tip Ded, just called Ivivo and it's £20 for a sim, free calls + £15 credit in case one uses the 200 free mins but to call Philippines it's 25pence per min also I can keep my present number. I'll ponder a while and work out what is best for me, because I only use about 200 min's a year @ 7p per min! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Any sim with unlimited data Teso's sim is stingy on data as is vodaphone

People these days use phones for surfing the web and instant free messaging = viber/wechat

3three virgin and giffgaff all do unlimited data/texts sims giffgaff is £12 a month beat that diba :wink:

[gWaPito]

:icon_lol:

Have i missed something here young Jamie? :biggrin::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

done the deal today, 600 minutes, unlimited tex and 1 gb internet, 30 day rolling contract with virgin, same number too, all for the sum of £7 and i am a happy bunny too :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[raynaputi]

Too bad for us here, only Vodafone is available. We don't have a choice.. :thumbsdown:

Glad u done it Steve, like I said they do cracking deals don"t think any provider could beat that...:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

they offered me another deal 150 mins and 500 mb of data for FIVER , but i know i got the best deal

[Dedworth]

Superb £7 deal Steve I think I'll kick o2 into touch particularly as they've shafted millions of us by flogging their home broadband to Sky

[stevewool]

the deal should be £15 so they say but because of being a long lasting customer its £7, as they say

[Dedworth]

Ah that's the catch I've just had a brief look and nearest I can see for a non Virgin punter is 1200min 1gb for £12 - still better than I'm getting from o2, the next one down is £10 250 min 1gb. 600ish is what I really need though

[stevewool]

i will not use all those mins but its better to have more then less

[purple]

giffgaff is the best deal there is.. and if you and your partner uses giffgaff its free minutes, and if someone calls you, it tops up your minutes. £5 a month.

[gWaPito]

You can't just go on price alone. ..if the coverage is naff then no matter how cheap it is, it isn't worth it :biggrin:

[stevewool]

virgin has never let me down anywhere i go yet
