Smarty unlimited data, calls and text sim only deal - £16 - 1 month rolling contract @ Smarty via Quidco

Just to add, Smarty are one of very few (the only?) network to offer an add-on for unlimited data abroad. It’s ‘only’ 4G when roaming but for £7 for 3 days of unlimited EU roaming, I think it’s a good deal. None of the others offer unlimited roaming even as an option AFAIK (happy to be corrected!)

They also do unlimited everything (social tariff) if you're on certain benefits

FYI this deal is identical on TCB as well, £25 cashback £16/month unlimited

I think I will go for something cheaper, they have a deal as low as £5/month for 4gb data and £7/month for 8gb which have some small cashback as well

Reason being I just got a text from virgin media saying prices are going up 17.3%!

The fact this runs on the 3 network is a deal breaker for me as in this area 3 is far far the worst mobile signal, I have to walk half a mile to get one bar & I'm not in the countryside I'm in a small town.

Is it only for the new customers or for registered ones as well ?

This is an excellent service in London, I usually get around 200-800Mbps and sometimes over 1Gbps. They also removed the ‘fair use’ cap a while ago so it’s truly unlimited. (edited)

Damn, only £1 less than ID network which also run on the Three network. The Great thing is with the 30 day rolling contacts you can switch between them and try out (although chances are an mvno will be just as good as the next on the same network)

Using a phone IMO is better option than a very expensive 5G router, but best if it has USB 3 and Wi-Fi 6 and if you have a Wi-Fi access point with usb (or use a USB Ethernet adapter from phone to Access Point).

I found a good basic set up is a phone tethered via USB to one of these GL.iNet mini routers which only cost £30. It’s only Wi-Fi N, but the range is fantastic - best I’ve seen in any router or extender. I got a full signal through 3ft thick stone walls of an old church where no other router or extender would get any signal or only very very weak. It’s also low power - I ran one off a power bank for a whole day in extender mode. Make sure you get a good data cable, not a power only cable.  It uses OpenWrt and has a lot of features that you usually only get in high end routers, but is also very easy to use and get started with. There are higher end models with Wi-Fi 6 2.5 gigabit etc, but those are a bit more expensive - £95-£100. It’s then a very portable set up with great range and features.  You also get to be able to use unlimited mins on the phone which you don’t if sim is in a 4G or 5G router.
