SIM only phone contracts

What that deal highlights is that all SIM contracts are now effectively data contracts, calls and texts are now giveaways.

Anyway, only thought I'd throw in is for you to assess the volume of data that you consume on a monthly basis.
Do you need 25GB a month?

Phone up other providers prior to accepting. i think one could at least match your present one.

There are deals for around £10 for 8 - 10gb, but I would generally use around 4 to 5 gb a week, as don't use work WiFi, as usually on betting sites. So I think this deal prob suits best.

They’ve recently made it even easier to transfer your number from one provider to another.
This is good and bad.

Good in that it can all be done without you having to speak to a human.
But bad because that previous conversation would inevitably lead to them making you an improved offer.

All providers are desperate to keep subscribers, so definitely worthwhile to try and squeeze a little bit out of the threat of leaving. They’ll either offer a reduced price or an additional benefit at no extra cost.

Am I the only person still on pay-as-you-go?

Did what you said Angoose, got it for £12 and strangely 3 months BT sport for free on my phone also.

What's Pay as you go lybertyne

Always worth a try, that quid a month is better in your pocket than EE’s.
Another one worth trying is offering to take out a longer contract.

my dad is on pay as you go

2p a minute and 2p a text

cost him less than £20 a year

plenty free wi fi for him too

When I was with BT sports I got one for £5 a while back. hth

I have a Samsung D500 which I bought new in June 2006.  It works fine still with the original battery.  I charge it a couple of times per week, which takes about 30 minutes.  I have it switched on 24/7 as I use the alarm on it.  It takes photos and videos, although the screen is small.  Basic internet but I have laptops for that.  Fits in my pocket and is light, unlike my girlfriends touchscreen which is big and heavy.  I remember when the obsession was making phones smaller and smaller.  Now they're as big as ever.

the times they are a-changin'

What we now call a phone is really a small computer that just happens to have telephonic capabilities, lucky if 1% of use of these devices is actually dedicated to making and receiving voice calls.

3 offered me a switch to a sim-only deal for £10 a month, unlimited calls, texts and data when I'd finished off paying for my current phone (before the original contract expired, actually).  Not sure whether that's a deal they offer to everyone, though.

Got pay as you go with 3 on their 3,2,1 tariff.

Only costs 3p per minute for calls so works out cheaper than having a landline as no line rental

Broadband-only (no phone line needed) with Virgin @ £18 per month

Just be careful that your phone doesnt die on you as mine did in June - 1 mth after i had taken up a 12mth sim only deal after existing contract had finished - three tried to charge me for full 12mths sim contract when i had to take out new phone but soon backtracked when i pointed out similar cheaper deals wiv Sky were available

So much for customer loyalty (16 yrs wiv em) eh in that i had to scrap wiv em to scrap sim deal

There are plenty of good quality mid-priced Android phones.
I have a Huawei Y9 2019 dual sim phone that is excellent, don't think it is available in the UK, but similar models exist.

Angoose, I have Huawei Y7 2019, does everything Samsung does for a fraction of the price, think I paid £130.
