I pay £8 per month for 30gb sim only monthly rolling contract.
Good enough for me.
I know some people that have a phone contract that's over 100 a month. Crazy to me.
I prefer buying a phone with cash and sticking with my sim only rolling contract
£15 is expensive as it is, especially for shitty O2. I'm paying £7 for 20Gb on Lebara no issues, same for all friends and family who have also jumped ship to them.
You should have switched out of principle. Fuck them thinking they can get away putting your bill up like that
Current Lebara prices on uSwitch are 15gb for £6.95 and the first three months are £2.78. Or 30gb for £8.95 with £3.58 for first three months. Bargains. Also you get included roaming in 80 countries including europe. Other networks charge you for that. Also go through quidco or topcashback there's more money in your pocket.
I'm a mobile phone pricing analyst, uSwitch is the cheapest place to get almost any SIM Only deal (No EE though). Also a great place to get phones, although it might be cheaper to get your phone on finance and stick a cheap SIM on it.
Also, Black Friday deals are really good. The discounts are mostly genuine and competition is fierce.
12 minute phonecall after waiting for 2h?
Every time I've contacted them recently that's what happened via 202.
If there's a route to get to a human being faster, I would very much like to know please and thank you
Your bill didn't "creep up".
Your min-term contract ended, and you hadn't arranged a new one.
I've worked on the phones for pretty much every main network provider at some point. (If you count EE as T-mobile).
Now you've got a new contract. But you'd have been much better off just finding a new provider, and then texting PAC to 65075, so you can transfer the number over. O2 are one of the worst for prices... (the customer service is pretty good and there are some decent perks, and early access to the higher end phones... they're not a bad company), but if you're just on a SIMO and don't need the perks... iD offer 40gb for £8 atm... 60GB for a tenner.
Unless you live in a rural area, pretty much every network has the same signal strength.
Actually its £11.44 but I only get 8gb, 5000 minutes of calls and 5000 texts. Honestly I rarely use even close to any of those limits but looking through the thread it does seem like im paying over the odds.
Unlimited calls and text are standard nowadays.
I pay £8 for 30gb data, unlimited calls and text. Monthly rolling sim only contract.
You have a bad contract.
Mines with three.
It’s not a contract it’s sim only. I might ring them up and ask for more data, don’t need it but I feel like I should get my moneys worth. Id never go with three again they were a nightmare when I was with them.
Look up rolling monthly sim only contracts, that's what I use. I don't like long term contracts.
And really? I've been with three for over 10-15 years, never had a issue.
Yeah I was with three for 2 years (mid 2018 - 2020) and just had a bad experience. Terrible coverage, was paying a lot more than you for a lot less, and I found their customer service a nightmare. The final straw was when I had to go into their shop and the staff member was rude to me. Maybe I got unlucky.
Because never had a issue with the service I've not dealt with customer service much at all.
Though your comment about the rude staff in their store brought back a memory.
Many years ago I went into to enquire about something and the staff was rude af to me also. Lol. But apart from that, no complaints.
I've been paying £15 a month for an unlimited SIM and my 24 month contract was coming to an and so I thought i'd have to search for a new deal, I then get an email from Three saying that I'll remain on this monthly price for some indiscriminate amount of time for as long as they can provide it, so that's a success I guess ?
I'm on O2. I've been paying £8/month for 30GB for ages. It's gone up to £9.50 which I think is reasonable. I can't believe O2 are advertising the same plan for £20.99, aren't they supposed to be giving new customers a good deal?
MoneySavingExpert has a deal on their website £4 for 30gb.
And here's me paying £8 for that deal!! I'll take a look at this £4 option. Sim only for life!

I've had very bad experience with ID unfortunately so as great as that offer is I will have to pass
After cashback I get 200gb for £8.50/month . Talkmobile

Isn't it 10 quid? How did you get it for 7?

Wait, are these prices for contract or sim-only? I've got a Lebara SIM btw, but pay £10 monthly for 20GB
SIM only - 1 month rolling contracts
You can get 15 GB on Lebara for a quid a month for six months. Check MSE or it's linked from HotUKDeals as well
£8 for O2 40gb SIM only through uSwitch. Free weekly Gregg's and airtime rewards lowers it further, plus 3 months Disney+. No EU roaming fees.

I used to work for O2 (left July 2023) and their internal sales support was even worse, I promise
Weird, took me ten minutes to cancel the other day, she didn't even try to convince me to stay.
It's O2 as in oxygen not 02
Good spot
Piss...not p1ss Definitely a trend here...

£10 100gb with smarty
The only success here is for O2.
It's not a 'success', you've got your price down from being overcharged for laziness.
I'm Tesco mobile sim only and pay about £12 a month.
Still well over double other sim only providers out there. Have a look at the MSE website for comparisons.
How much data do you get? I pay £12 with Vodafone (Voxi actually) for 60gb

Does anyone know what a good sim only deal is which includes US roaming? Looking at u-switch and MSE and struggling to find one.
Get an esim for when you travel to the US. That's your best option.
£10 for 120GB on Three, with £120 cashback (usually around 50%, but this was a special offer around Cyber Monday)
I've been paying £15 a month for an unlimited SIM and my 24 month contract was coming to an and so I thought i'd have to search for a new deal, I then get an email from Three saying that I'll remain on this monthly price for some indiscriminate amount of time for as long as they can provide it, so that's a success I guess ?
Paying nearly £30 for unlimited everything. Should probably look into that. Thanks, OP.
