Cut a long story short Ive had two main Numbers with Vodafone Business for over 20 years, over the last 8 years Ive never bothered with New Phone upgrades but got Cash Back plus Airtime discount for both numbers every 12 months renewal, so over that period have managed to get some decent allowance plus some nice freebies for my custom. Now thats all finishing, renewal is up in May and there new policy seems to be sign up to same as a New Customer for 12 month Sim Only deal or start paying us some serious money on a 24 month plan with a phone!, not happy.

So time to move on me thinks, whats out there, anyone recommend some good Sim only deals with mins, text and some decent Web allowance?, dont really want to any 24 month Phone plans at the moment as want to wait to see what other 4G plans come out later this year when Voda and O2 launch thee 4G Services.

O2 is no Service at Home, so thats them and Giff Gaff out the window, so down to Vodafone with another Provider, EE (too ealy days yet me thinks) Orange / T Mobile, Virgin and Three?

Any thoughts

First thought, how on earth you've managed to suffer ponyfone that long is beyond me.

2nd, go with best signal provider.

Asda use the Vodafone network but charge less than half price per minute (12p instead of 25p) on PAYG, don't know about their contracts. I considered going to GiffGaff till I read their reviews.

Put simply In my experience the most consistent Network travelling around the UK, not the best Signal but call quality on there business Tarrifs, UK call centre, there dont care if you Tether and give a a good Data throuput again from experience.

Best signal at home is T Mobile and Voda, so looking like them or Virgin

the 12pm Vodafone is what there trying to palm me off with, less than half my current allowances for 4pm more 

Looking on the Virgin Site at the moment.

Think Asda Mobile use Voda. No idea what they are like, as Voda is universally shite wherever I go...

Hmm, quiet like the sound of this T Mobile 12 mth Sim only Full Monty, half price for 12 months, £16.00 pm Unlimited Talk, Text and Internet. Gets down to £11.50 pm if using a Cash Back Site, down side offer ends Monday then goes back to £32.00 pm.

Never used Cash Back does it actually work? how long before you get your cash back, whos the best to use?

[TheBoy]

Be aware of patchy t-mobile coverage, esp rural. Its nowhere near O2 and Voda coverage.

Hmm, use a T Mob now and then for Temp mobile Wifi spot, on a PAYG Sim, £5 pm Data Booster, never used them for voice calls travelling around though, one of the reasons Im kinda stuck with Voda, cant remember the, last time I had a dropped or patchy call, just a shame O2 wont do the House otherwise the old Cellnet Network system would be on the list

Yes, can't remember how long. Then you log in to the site to get it paid. I've only used TopCashback, but my daughter uses several. Read Martin Lewis Money Expert. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/cashback-websites#work

Thanks S, will have a read and look in to it. The T Mob deal is a bit premature if the offer ends Tuesday, but could will do the trick for that sort of money x 2 for my needs.

The T Mobile deal keeps popping up frequently, After the £16 per month deal has expired on the 2nd April you will still be able to get a good deal on same network for £21 per month.

I do not work for T Mobile i drive a truck for a living but very tempted to take the offer myself, I have pondered this offer for a while and missed out on 3 occasions this deal has been on.

Since 3g and 4g has been around the normal service has been rubbish, on Orange at least.

Remember that Orange and T-Mobile have been Everything Everywhere for a couple of years, but now they are starting to use their assets more sensibly. Still patchy around these parts, once out of the town.

A friend of mine runs a small Hotel and Restaurant in the sticks not far from me, they had a Orange Micro Cell in the Car Park for years, so it made sense that He, family and the live in staff were all on Orange, it got switched off a few months ago and has been down ever since, after months of whining at Orange, EE have now informed him its now a dead duck and wont be switched back on due to the channels now being used for 4G else where, not sure if there doing the same for the T Mob Sites or if its just the Orange Network.

So much for the "we've got the biggest Network" since the merge?
