Chindie Posted April 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2016 Giffgaff currently showing their frankly excellent reliability history with the entire country seemingly without any service... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 mobiles.co.uk currently have the iPhone 6s 64gb unlimited mins and texts and 2gb of data for £26 a month and £90 upfront (£100 minus £10 off voucher FLASH10 on their site) Cracking deal for someone in the market for this phone and can get on with Vodafone and its not a lot more than the cost of the phone and you get 2 years of service thrown in.

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Had the one plus two for close to a week now and genuinely can't see myself going back to an iPhone. If anyone is considering it I'd definitely recommend it. Only issue I'm having is I'm not overly impressed with the battery but that might be because it's my latest toy and I've spent more time than normal messing around on it and it's the first time I've had kodi on the move. Dual sim was great to have when transferring numbers and will come in handy once I get a new work sim to save carrying two phones around. Few issues porting the number across but otherwise can't groan about ee either, signal seems great wherever I've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait. You keep contacts in your SIM? Seriously? I don't think I've done that since I had a Nokia feature phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha no, came in handy when porting the number between networks so that I didn't lose service while waiting because it took two days after the old one switched off to move over.

You can log into an (android) phone without a SIM in it and sync all your contacts from your Google account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 LG G4 was a pretty good phone in its day, it can be had now for £12.50 a month on 24 month Talk Mobile (Vodafone) contract with 2GB data. That looked a pretty good deal. Can also get £30 from quidco too making it just £11.25 a month, cheaper than most sim only deals. Note: Talk mobile not currently offering 4G, so it'll be only 3G data speeds. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/motorola-moto-g4-black-white-talk-mobile-with-2gb-data-1000-minutes-5000-texts-no-2474401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octacore processor, 2gb ram, 13mp rear camera plus 5mp front camera, 16gb on board plus sd card slot, Android 6.0.1, full HD screen... All for less than the cost of the sim only tariff (with 3G rather than 4G speed). Very well reviewed phone, I'd be tempted it wasn't for the 5.5" screen being too big for my liking.

omariqy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Contract over with Vodafone. Not really interested in getting another contract for 2 years. Plus I used to get really good 4G with Vodafone until my contract finished and now I get nothing. Sneaky bastards. Any good sim only deals? 12 month or monthly rolling? The best I have seen is EE £20 per month for unltd mins and texts and 16gb data. Plus I hear their coverage is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Phone Vodafone to cancel and they offered unltd mins and texts and 14gb data plus Spotify for 12 months for £19 per month. Not a bad deal. I also get 4gb roaming in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 16, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2016 Giffgaff are the least reliable network I've used. Good value (though less good value then they used to be) but the trade off is having the network completely go down twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted August 16, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2016 I've found giffgaff very good. Three were pretty decent too, but the signal at my home on their network was garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think im going to switch from 3 since mine changed from £12 to £30 per month. @limpid im pretty sure you used to be a great believer in monthly rolling contracts. are you still? how often do you change? 20 hours ago, blandy said: I've found giffgaff very good.

Seem better now but still think i prefer the Vodafone deal. *2 years ago, i have a few trips to the US totalling about 2 months. Was amazing to be able to use data there for free the hole time on my £12 contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted August 17, 2016 Administrator Share Posted August 17, 2016 @zak I change we've I feel the need. I just looked around before a trip abroad to see if it was worth changing for the roaming prices, but three don't charge any extra for the country I was interested in.
