Mobile Contract Deals & Offers

for anyone reading this for information in the future, always go for O2 over Vodafone. They accept cancels within 14day cool down period like they should. Had two phones from CPW with £100 off with a 12m O2 sim and then cancelled the sim immediately. Happy days.

Just an update my chip was cancelled. I just called again no need for an excuse they are already aware of the CPW deal so just say that you only need the phone so your cancelling within the 14 day cooling period.

They have upped the price - now it's 209 plus the vodafone 15.5.

Being able to cancel SIM within cooling period is a consumer right. There should not be luck and patience needed here. Vodafone is simply peddling lies on CS and asking people to go to CPW instead while the actual SIM only contract is with Vodafone. This a non deal as "luck" or "lottery" is needed for it to work.

For anyone struggling to get Vodafone to cancel I'd suggest using their online chat or simply hanging up to try another advisor. It's a bit of a lottery but trying at different times may help. If you do so within the first 14 days you should be able to get avoid being charged the £15.50 fee (which is only chargeable after 1 month with Vodafone and not at point of sale). Patience and persistence needed.

They could have, but what I'm saying is they can't seek compensation if it was you that misled them, by accident or otherwise

Added more info to my post. For all I knew it was a genuine (great) deal. Turned out I was misinformed and I've done all I can to sort it. I know it's annoying, apologies.

Why would I trick people? This isn't some conspiracy. I was told by an EE representative that it was a free add-on, I have attached the screenshot in my post. I'm on a Max plan at the moment so I don't need it and didn't try it, but it seemed like a great deal. If it was genuine, it would be a great deal, wouldn't it? That's why I posted. It turned out I'd been misinformed by the EE rep. It's embarrassing and I wish I'd never posted the deal. I expired the post and did all I could to provide info. What more am I supposed to do? I suggested that people who had been charged seek compensation because if I had been misinformed, anyone else could have been too.

Why not to contact EE customer services and ask them to add it for free, just explain that you been good customer and 9 out of 10 they will do it, except some mean d-i-c-k h-e-a-d-s or p-r-i-c-k-s on web chat, who like to remove all the loyalty discounts (happened to me in past and added back on via phone)

Alright so people got screwed, did you get free btsport can someone get the app and check

I spoke to Talkmobile hoping to upgrade to this today. The advisor seemingly acknowledged that the offer had been on before but that it had finished last week. Best they could do me (as an upgrade at least) was 10gb @ £13/month or £16.25/month for 20gb (i.e. 35% off the equivalent Vodafone plans).

Anyone know what the timeframe is on this? Are TM still taking customers? I'm currently a Vodafone SIM only contract customer, so the obvious thing to do would be to swap over to TM to get locked in on the better deals on the migration back to VF...

Is this still a current offer does anyone know? When you click on get deal it takes you to the talk mobile website but only shows ....."sim only deals from £5 per month" i spoke to them today before seeing this and they offered me SIMI - £12 month - 12GB data, 5000 mins, 5000 text (mad)

Beej93 - I see the logo for your deal has changed to Talk Mobile. Thank you for sorting out the confusion. £9.50/mo for that bundle seems like pretty good value (especially as it seems like a general deal for Talk Mobile customers and you don't have to faff around with cashback). Have some heat! It hasn't helped the confusion that Talk Mobile (on Vodafone) and TalkTalk Mobile (on O2) are simultaneously shutting down and offering deals directly with their carriers! Hope your deal recovers and thanks for posting!

I have a SIMO service with TalkTalk Mobile, which I got for free by being a broadband customer. They've been warning their customers for a few months that they are shutting down their mobile operations (they are a MVNO running on O2). My TalkTalk Mobile service definitely uses O2 and they've now offered me a discounted SIMO deal directly with O2. I'll have to pay for it (rather than being free) but it's a good price for a low usage customer like myself. Might you be confusing Talk Mobile and TalkTalk Mobile? https://www.which.co.uk/news/2018/01/talktalk-mobile-to-close-what-are-your-options/

Also iD offer Wifi calling which is a big plus I find

My point was are plusnet getting the full EE coverage or a water down version.

I have a 30day rolling contract with them and went for £7 2.5gb to £10 8gb mentioning that I had seen the ID mobile offer. I could have pushed it a bit harder but 8gb is enough of data for me.

I run an EE SIM and i.d and find more 4g coverage then I do with i.d and I have them on me all the time.

They used to share with orange but not now.

Did you try complaint chat ? Did you ask to swap mins for data ?

£10 a month for unlimited minutes & texts, 4gb data

what plan were you on and for how much ?

Tried over chat 4 times for about 30 mins each time to no avail. On the phone was even worse, so I’ve left for the virgin 24gb deal. More money than I hoped to spend, but better 4g signal at least. Three were obsessed with my data usage being below 2gb on average, even after I explained that I have a new job that doesn’t provide WiFi so my data requirement is about to increase drastically. Doesn’t seem to me that three’s retention team really retain many customers, tbh. :/

OK, cheers. My contract is up for renewal today, so I can give 30 days notice. Will try complaints chat over the weekend.

Glad to hear!

Just got the deal from phoning Sky on 0800. they will "beat" the £55 possible Quidco by doing the £5 data (and UL mins / UL texts) for £3....therefore £13 p.m. for 24 then £12 p.m. for 6 (then the phone is yours to keep).

Still a good deal....brand new iPhone SE (32gb) with 500mb (rolls over) / UL minutes / UL texts for all Sky Customers (6m for non-Sky), £55 Quidco & Free return Euro-flights....at an affordable £15p.m.....not bad, i agree with OP (highfive) The catch appears to be that you either have to do the 24m SWAP (£54 cashback for your iPhone SE) OR keep for 30m and keep phone(?). (nerd)

Check the details, it is a 30 month interest free loan on the phone excluding line rental.

That's a worrying number of negative reviews for sure. What I would say is that I can only speak from experience, same as your good self, when I say that I've personally not had an issue with them. I'd also say that the angriest people are the ones who tend to flock to review sites like Trustpilot. All that being said, not a great rating overall and concerning.

https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.plus.net I'll be adding to those reviews shortly. I tried to cancel again today, this time asked me 5 level 2 security questions, one of which was when my DD is paid (I had my statement in front of me) and she told me it's incorrect. I said I'd simply cancel my DD with the bank, she threatened they will continue to take payments and it will affect my credit history. I have nothing but contempt for them now. Companies with reviews that awful should not be able to astroturf on HUKD.

Never ever had that issue with Plusnet when I've left in the past. They've always been responsive and never questioned me on it.

You have to call them and discuss it over the phone. They may have cottoned on to the glitch now too.

Plusnet intentionally make it impossible for you to cancel mobile deals. Look it up. I discovered this when I was on the phone for 40 minutes only to get through at 8:05 to tell me cancellation team is closed. Funny how all other teams are open till 10PM. Currently with ID mobile and Tesco, never had a single problem. Plusnet = Never Again.

1gb was £24 on 24 months

Not cheap even after 250 cashback. Bought 1gb plan moto G6 today but When i called EE to cancel they offered far better deal on my SIMO contract. So I returned Vodafone handset within 2 hrs and cancelled order. Had no confidence on 250 cashback.

Any Good deals found?? Can't really see anything!

Quoted from TCB: "How does it work? Cashback is available on new phone contracts; upgrades are not eligible.For contract sales, commission will only be paid if the customer did not return their device within the first 30 days, and has paid their first bill." Do you guys understand that after the first payment the cashback should be tracked already?

Good to know Cashback is available on Pre-Order Phone contracts.

The £10 plan currently has bonus 1GB so 4GB in total not sure how long they will offer bonus though. Still think they are not that competitive but do not want to be stuck in a contract so will stay out as long as signal strong in area. The £15 going to 8GB and £7.50 to 2GB are the only good parts of the new pricing but heat UP for heads up and some will save including me some months.

Well pleased when I got the email from them. Been on the £7.50 a month deal for a while and had been pushing towards using my 1gb. So it's a good deal for me. I also understand lots of other providers have caught up with them with better deals. But not having to take up a rolling contract is the selling point for me. Think they may have missed a trick with the £10 deals. Think 4gb would be a fair deal in comparison to the £7.50 deal.

ID are doing 4gb for £8, rolling contract.

Heat for moving the right direction but with o2 3/2/1p rates GG pay should be matching - it doesn’t have a network to maintain, still Voxi 4GB £10 here with a ton of 8p roaming texts countries worldwide so now o2 you ain’t offered me enough yet. Good GG/Tesco are competing with o2 though, if you want to spend under £20 that’s the way to go!

Disappointed that still no WiFi calling with them. Though heat for these prices on pay and go

Thanks for this

A comparable 4Gb sim only with unlimited text/calls would be from £10/m or £240 over 24 months Therefore, this handset works out at only £5.75 a month or £138 over the 24 months

Cold redemption

Overpriced phone plus mediocre contract offer, sorry.

Voted hot

Same :(

I rang and had online chat and they wouldn't honour this deal. Wouldn't budge from 25 a month. Even through retentions. Sent them links to HotUKDeals threads and still no budge. Disappointed

They won't budge on the max plan for me. Adamant it can't be done unless I stay on my current tariff

With the £70 cashback with Topcashback do you not get the 40GB contract for £19.17/month??

This... But I'll sell my OnePlus 5t instead. To clarify I didn't NEED a new phone, but the camera on this p20 pro is amazing. So did I want it? Yes.

Any one know if the mins can be rolled over or just the data

Shame they don't offer more mins

Have you seen the 10GB 300mins for £10 with them it's an option for those who need more data

I am in a rural location, signal for me is perfect. I was with o2 before and couldn’t even make a phone call half the time.

Perfect for me for last few years in Staffordshire. Great deal btw

Excellent bit of added information anyone considering a new deal !

Just looking- iphone 7 - 32g- £23 month and 3 gigs extra cos I’m diamond customer- brill find - thanx ;)

Nope!

And breathe......

Yeah it's great, there are 3 sims in our household and the piggybank is there for any of them to take a GB out when they need to. Any unused data at the end of the month is rolled over into it. Also you are able to change your data plan every month so if you've saved up 5GB into the piggybank you can reduce your monthly plan and use data from there instead.

Sorry i didn't mean what you are saying was fake, i mean that is what they told me. I know how crap there retention staff is :D

Tried getting it, didn't work through retentions team. They said the deal was fake.

I believe the japanese version of the iPhone has the camera click enables constantly.

also saving the £300 you'd be stuck paying in the 2nd year of contract. I haven't bought from eGlobal personally but, plenty deals on here for them lately, seems to be legit and fully covered by apple warranty.

If you take this out, can you combine with corporate discount?

Why cold?

It was but may not be any more.

Is that on e2save

any good ones that include spotify

I am on a 1.5gb iD contract and they wouldn't upgrade - told me to leave and come back if I wanted the 2.25gb deal and issued PAC code! Crazy. I'll check out TPO.

Ended up getting this for my mum, more than enough for her requirements. Having WiFi calling is a big plus

By the way, for those that are existing customers it's worth calling up and asking for a better deal. I did that a few months ago hoping they would up me to 5Gb of data and they actually offered me 6 for the same money.

I know what u mean. You could try then. But i doubt it be back then.

I see so if I want all the allowances i should pay £5/monthly isn't it? Which is also a very good deal.But I don't need it until August when my current contract expires

Hi ukcooldude I went for the o2 deal on argos site a week ago , havent heard anything since ! Rang argos who said had to contact o2. rang o2 they didnt know anything about it ! So emailed Compare Technology yesterday, still waiting to hear Wish i had never bothered

Hi there, Exactly same situation as you. I'm glad you got it. I'm still in process chasing them ( Compare technology- Argos ) In spite of sending them confirmation email which I got from 3, they still want to get it confirmed from 3 who are taking their time. Don't know what else can be done? Very frustrating. Heat added for the deal. Thanks

They never pay

Sounds like we're the fortunate ones John_A,unlike poor old J4GG4 who i can somewhat relate to as it seemed as though i was having to prove i actually DID get the deal through Argos.I must admit to taking some screen shots off my laptop when doing the deal just as backup.Not the first time i done this and wont be the last,anyone reading this i would SEARIOUSLY think of doing the same.I showed the photos to the 3 shop manager who called Argos customer support and eventually got someone to say yes we do that deal.Not good when two companies dont seem to know what there selling.Thanks to AndyRoyd for saying the bit about it being valid for 12 months.

Yes I got the same deal, and finally got a confirmation email last week about the £50 argos voucher,with an apology that it had been delayed.

I find it hit and miss with vodafone. Some people mention on here key phrases they use with companies like EE such as. I've seen a "cheap deal online". I left vod as retention was rubbish, took a cheap sim only rolling 30 days with virgin, then took a new 12 month sim onlycontract with vod on a far better deal than they offered me for retention. Crazy to have to do that. Give Vod another try if i were you.

I don't seem to be able to get any good retention deals. :( My 12 months is up, I've ordered my PAC code after some haggling with offers but said no thanks and was expecting calls with better deals but nothing. I've gone with plusnet £8 3.5gb unlimited texts unlimited calls but i disovered i don't get a signal at all in my lounge or bedroom. I haven't ported my number yet and have about a week left on my Vodafone contract. Do I try again with Vodafone or try the abn (?) settings with plus net and stick it out....? I'd appreciate some tips for successful haggling. Thanks.

Just called to cancel and all they offered me was 8gb +Spotify for £20.30. Time to play hard ball, do you have to request a PAC code to get a decent deal?

I just renewed and got 25Gb p/m £50 bill credit + spoitfy for £21.25 a month, works out just over £17 a month, great for heavy data user.

I get 100gb for £7.50 a month well it works out at that as signed up for the razer phone deal thats posted on here. Free phone £30 a month with unlimited txts and calls and 100gb data and can use my allowance in other countries and also 30gb tethering included. I already ordered the samsung s9 sim free from very so i didnt need the razer phone so i sold that for £510 and also got £30 cashback with Quidco. so the contract costs £720 over the 24 months minus the £540 i got for phone and cashback = £180 so £180 divided by 24 months is £7.50 so i recommend anyone wanting this dealto act fast as it might not last long and dont forget to go through Quidco 1st
