Best 2 Sims for dual SIM phone (please)

I've a dual SIM phone.
I had plusnet on a decent sim only deal and a free 0² sim only that I never got round to activating (used it to register with airtime rewards) (I transfer my rewards to a family member)
With plusnet ditching their sim only packages I'm after changing providers and I might as well consider a cheap or free switch for the second slot.

I'm in a relatively poor area for reception.


What's my best combo for value, coverage and perks?

I don't usually use more than 10 gb data.

Would really welcome your money savvy input. Thanks ️

    Lebara and Lyca tend to offer the best deals for 3 months.  Then you can switch if you want.  I would not use Lyca at the moment due to being hacked but by the time your 3-month deal ends on Lebara, I'm sure Lyca will be up and running again.  Try searching for sim deals and check out uSwitch, Money Saving Expert or Money Supermarket.

    Yes. Was planning on searching MSE. I'm not sure what the best combo is overall in terms of coverage and perks too. Bit of a change as I've been with PN for years and just renegotiated every year.

    It sounds like you want low hassle so not just chasing intro offers that last 3 months.

    Lebara is decent for a main SIM and will do 12GB with the £40 gift card after 6 months. Probably just what to go for. Or you could get the 5GB SIM and use in combo with another.

    I would not put your number on Lyca due to the issues. But you could look at them as a second, otherwise Talk Home is quite cheap.

    Also RWG Mobile have a number of plans that are low cost, they use EE network with no Band 20 (just like Plusnet did).

    Vodafone SIMO at mobile. co. UK doing Vodafone 70GB for £7 cashback redemption.

    Second SIM could be rwgmobile.

    I noticed Lyca is doing some 6-month deals on the money supermarket . com  Could always just keep Lyca as a backup SIM until they get them selfs sorted if they have not already.

    I actually just took out a year's contract with ID Mobile as was a bargain.  As I got fed up of chasing 3-month deals.

    (I just deleted the link as the offer has finished! Don't want anyone not getting their voucher.) (edited)

    I've been with plusnet for years on a rolling sim so getting tied in will take some getting used to (if I have to go that route). I used to just renegotiated with plusnet target than switch as they've always been fab on the customer service side. (edited)
