Try 1p mobile for an EE based PAYG sim,
https://www.1pmobile.com/index.taf?friend=M155386J  (we both get an extra £5 if yu use this link)

£10 every 3 months, or as needed, and builds up credit.
I keep one and 2nd SIM as an alternative to when o2 is poor.

Cheers for that.  Ordered allready.

No probs
Ive found them to be good.
Do a varity of packages to suit.
5G works as well.

I'd avoid doing a speedtest however as that will eat a large chunk of data pretty fast.

[Mr Skrunts]

Good idea reagrds the speed test

Looked it up they are on the EE network.

Yep. That's why Jimbob said they were on the EE network.

Be aware, for those easily lead by marketting bullshit, Evil Everywhere (and all other UK operators) currently deploy 5G in what is known as NSA, which essentially means its 5G on the RAN side, but uses all of the 4G infrastructure....    ....and guess where all the bottlenecks are.

Hardly any of the benefits of 5G can be realised until we start getting 5G SA, which is happening slowly in the UK, partly due to the distraction of the government mandate to remove Hauwei kit from the networks, and the delays from the pandemic - these are all long term, time consuming projects.

So for the next year or 2, don't get hung up on 5G....    ...unless you are reliant on 3G, as some networks are planning on completely turning off 3G in the next year or 2, in which case you'll need the 5G (even in NSA) for the signal.


Brakkers EE now has 5G as from a few days ago.  Approx 40Mbps down, 8Mbps up, both spikey.  Exactly the same as it was on 4G

For clarity, certain other Chinky kit is also having to be removed from vital parts of network infrastructure.  And SA/NSA stands for Standalone and Non-Standalone, with Standalone having dedicated high capacity backhauls and infrastructure to support it, NSA using existing 4G backhauls and infrastructure.

Actually, I have a question, probably one for Mr DTM....

Presumably the telematics in her car is 3G, rather than 4G?  So when 3G gets turned off, will is step back to 2G or simply stop working?
