The Peoples Operator Deals & Offers

It's 4G for me. This is a month-by-month contract.

No credit check with these lot. Good for those with an iffy credit rating and also for rebuilding your credit score..

You can get this in Virgin, see my new deal posted

OP what do you think the £4.99 a month is? its a 30 day rolling contract that will require a credit check.

hot deal.

Expired. Cheapest sim now showing at £7.99

Cheers buddy. It works but it's closed. Thank you.

Yes............... I can add that I've been with most direct mobile phone service providers plus tried the piggybackers, the overall quality from the piggybackers is less than direct service providers, less signal (actually emergency phone calls only with TPO inside), lesser quality calls, data takes a while to connect and then is poor quality despite being "4G", then add the dire customer service........ The only company I would have recommended which did piggyback was LIFE, customer service was the best, I set up lots of peeps with them and knew a chunk of the peeps by name via their social media page, any problems? - sorted within a couple of minutes - sadly that's long gone now and Plusnet refuse to reply to messages..... So yes, regardless, I'm going back to "Three" as the signal was miles better than it's piggybacker TPO , plus better quality of calls and data

Even though its on the three network

I've just quit these jokers, 1 - they screwed up my pac code despite having a months notice, 2 - the customer service is diabolical, farcical 3 - despite requesting my PAC code 5 times because I was leaving they have point blank ignored me... Add to all of that the data connection is dire and the quality of calls is pathetic.

TPO gave me good customer service topcashback usually give ten pounds refund on TPO .Used them in past but prefer this 1p mobile https://www.1pmobile.com/index.taf?friend=D307055G

Do you use online banking? You won't be able to TPO because "Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately we do not support SMS from short code numbers." That means when banks, ebay, paypal, etc tries to authenticate you via SMS you will never receive the SMS. Lol TPO = joke.

It seem to be run by clowns if that's what you have gone through and no one got back to you.

I called customer services twice today and was on hold for 47 and 59 minutes, never accessed a human! WTH?! I wanted to query how to opt out of their marketing and sharing my personal details with third parties as signing up gives you no opt out option, and their T&C's say nothing about opting out. Wrote to them twice by email, no response. I requested a SIM which never arrived, and I cannot request anothee as my email address is already registered. Usesless company so far!

I pay £4 for my roller

£3 a month my friend

Gave TPO 1 months notice on my PAC code, they told me to contact them on the 22nd - which I did - too around a dozen emails to them over the following two days to get a reply as they were leaving me potentially with another contract with O2 because if the pac wasn't transferred then apparently I would be stuck with O2.... Anyways......... TPO told a lot of porkies, missed out all of the parts of the complaint that they couldn't answer truthfully to and to finish that off the reception is dire, the data is very very slow even with the 4G signal.......... If you don't mind dire, lying customer services plus want stress and don't mind your phone becoming a tin can with string, and the person you are speaking to constantly complaining about the quality of the calls - then TPO is for you.....

Apparently the £50 for eu roaming is old policy, so they will activate eu roaming free of charge now. Issue still with ringing 073 numbers, waiting 1 more day on resolution or im offski to plusnet.

DO NOT BUY.

depends how you read his first comment! I think he means his personal number and others - thousands - have been affected it was sarky - cos his reply didnt relate to what i was saying - plus he used lol

The concept of dirt-cheap 4G service on a monthly contract with reasonable number of minutes (and some data) is very nice. Contacting the customer service is awkward via the supplied forms, you have to give your details all the time for a new request, despite having a my-account service (where I expected to be able to chat with them, or open tickets without hindrance). I needed to contact CS for the third time in a month for stuff which I did not think would even need human interaction: - the documented default PINs do not work (or just not obviously explain the difference between US and UK documents) - lost service for about half a day until they got me the PUK - transferring number did not work - when given again the same details, it was all right. Took about 3 working(!) days to set up to happen the next day; of course it didn't. Or at least the old SIM stopped working, the number was just not moving over. They claim it can take over three working(!) days, but of course the old SIM was disconnected at the earliest time (grmbl), but the number did not start working for two days. - EU roaming in theory is free now (yet?), but NO roaming is configured for pay monthly customers. You need to request it specifically, pay a quite hefty deposit, and send copies of bank account statements as you are a new customer. Without it, the SIM won't even connect where every other European SIM just works fine (and absolutely free). All in all, I had no service for about four days, which probably would be resolved in 30 minutes at any other provider you know.

They are terrible and as I've mentioned in a thread before; Will vote down on every TPO link.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt about a month ago, and have really regretted it! Tried to port my number over to them, and the process took over 3 weeks, during which time I didn't have service on both my old network and on TPO. Be warned...

Erm, what?

WOW Thanks for that piece of advice, I didn't realise

That's a 12 month contract, not a monthly one. Also, the deal seems to be back on!

If only TPO had remained on the EE network, I'd be all over this... Three has a really weak signal around here and texts are often delayed by hours.

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/tpo-512mb-4g-data-unlimited-texts-250-minutes-2-99-mth-no-credit-check-cheap-out-2735282 Even lower if someone is a low user. So even greater if someone is on a budget. You can buy landline phone that take a sim card then you can ditch BT's £18.99 line rental. Of course if the older person has pension credit then they can get BT Basic that is £5.10 a month but this deal and the one i posted is still less

Thinking of going over to this from talk talk mobile. Was thinking of 3 but this is 5gb of 4g. For 9.99

Does this support Wi-Fi calling. Useful in areas of poor reception?

I had a terrible experience a year or so go. Porting my number was a nightmare and after a couple of months they put up the price. Luckily it was a monthly rolling contract and was able to leave. Never again with TPO.

I've been using these lot for around a year. Very good network tbh and internet speeds are more than good enough. Never had a problem

Lebara offering unlimited calls to UK and 43 destinations, 1000 texts, 5GB internet for £12 seems to be better option. They use Vodafone network.

https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/thepeoplesoperator.com I wouldnt waste my time with them

Doesn't sound good! But all mvno's are like that

Got 3.99 deal for the wife. calls are fine, no issues whatsoever. however internet seems a bit slow. could be her phone! anyone know what's the customer service number is it 123, 333 or similar? have no idea how to keep tab on data. the welcome link expired have sent them an email and Still haven't received reply.

Ask for a new sim card

Still not activated just turned 8am Friday.

I never understood phone company's denying tethering on small data allowances, you've paid for that amount what difference does it make how you use it, plus it would actually be in their interest for you to use it all up and start to get charged loads on out of contract data.

i heard from various review sites that their customer services is crap whats people experiencer with them

A week later and I am now up and running. They made a complete shambles of porting my number, was meant to happen Friday but didn't until late Monday, leaving me without my old number for the entire weekend. When I rang to ask what was going on didn't get very far, just told it can take up to 3 working days. Why? Every other network does it the next day. Also in pretty sure there's only about 3 people at the end of their phone lines. But it's cheap, works (now) and signal at home is better than my old network.

What happens if you try to tether to a laptop? Is there an Android app that can make it seem like the data is going to the phone and not via the phone to a laptop?

I came across them when I fell outta love with EE, when EE took over my THEN provider of t-mobile about 5ish years ago, and scrapped everything that was good about t-mobiles plans. I used them (TPO) as a stop gap, but I guess I got a better deal from Talk Talk at the time? DON'T LAUGH, we ALL make mistakes, anyway...they did the job, and considering yer not gonna tie yerself down (as with most) to a 12/18 or 24 month contract ( it's only 30 day's) it's gotta be worth a crack, AND as a bonus (to some) TPO will donate 10% of your bill to a charity of your choice...Cancer research in my case, so me thinks...WIN WIN :D All the best

good service heat added try 1p mobile as comparison.

​Indeed £16 for unlt/unlt/20gb :D

Feature phones = 2G basic phones? TPO piggybacks off 3 network, so wouldn't work on those.

If that's true, you probably pay a little more than £3.99 for your contract :)

Good value but very very little data. I use this daily on average :D

But for those that can keep their data under 512MB then this is pretty good (I'm considering this). Turning my mobile data on only when you need it saves battery and allowance. Most of the time I have Wi-Fi at work and home, and Wi-Fi uses much less power than mobile data.

Can't tether! Worth 50p extra to do that!

Unreliable service. https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/thepeoplesoperator.com

I'd rather go for the id SIM offer

Good deal but being on Three is a deal breaker for me - lack of coverage.

So far so good so to say with TPO but it is early days only signed up with them a few days ago. I've moved from T-mobile to these guys. Great signal and customer service. I've contacted them over the phone using 500 customer service number and got connected to an advisor only after a couple of minutes wait (unlike t-mobile). Online support is great and each time i got a response within a couple of hours. I would 100% recommend TPO to anyone wants a cheap and cheerful sim only deal

I hope you used your feet and walked :)

I got on this deal about 9 months ago, and after 3 months the price jumped to £9.99 a month!

Assume was email here ? https://www.thepeoplesoperator.com/Complaints

​Yes I took this when they were using EE and then said moving to 3 because they offered them and so it's customers much better value for money.....then hiked the price. Did ask the obvious question of how is it better value if it costs more but just met with ' you want to leave then'. Switched to ID who so far have been faultless

​Did the same to me. Unethical. I really empathised with the charity thing too, so there was a degree of irony.

Never had any problems with them. And they gave me extra data when I run out

Even the 10% charity donation has strings attached, too. Personally, for a budget SIMO deal, I think ID are fine. We have two ID SIMs in our household.

Jumped on a brand new £6.99 deal a few months ago - jumped up to £10 with a worse package 3 months later - left. Bait and switch.

Same here: "Sorry, that promotional code is either invalid or has now expired." "The Free SIM will come with £10 free credit - get £5 free credit when you activate and an additional £5 free credit on the 1st of April if you use your SIM by the 29th Feb." - Two months too late.

I'm getting: Sorry, that promotional code is either invalid or has now expired.

Isn't id mobile 4gb of 4g for a tenner? Or has that finished going via uswitch?
