Style Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Voadfone seem to be going down the toilet, especially with their customer service. EE isn't the cheapest but I've always found them to be the best in terms of coverage in my area and they have some nice offers on every now and again. 3 months free BT Sport, 6 months free Apple Music etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 ok thanks , no rush atm upgrade only became available yesterday, so got plenty of time to make my mind up , appreciate the replies so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdale Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The last few times I've shopped around I've always ended up with one of the "piggyback" networks. Currently with Plusnet using the EE network. 1000mins/texts, 3.5gb data, £8 per month. Customer service is... well Plusnet, so it's spot on. But yes you will talk to them and not EE/voda. What's your phone situation? Do you buy outright and get a sim only deal, or contract (buy the phone on finance). For me I don't want the latest and greatest phone so buy a Chinese one with good reviews, then keep it for longer than I would with a contract phone. Currently I have a OnePlus 3.

peter richards Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 no im always a few years behind as I do a 2 year deal each time , got a Samsung s 6 atm not a very good phone , but im looking at the s8 on mobiles .co.uk the deal is the s8 unlimited calls /text 4gb data 23 a month for two years , but this is the funny bit its with Vodafone, and Vodafone cant offer me that deal , the cheapest they do atm starts at 30 a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
