Pay Monthly Deals & Offers

Just a quick message to thank you @portishead75 Moved away from TalkTalk, I am getting very similar speeds for 50p less a month plus the £100 cashback, router which I sold for a tenner and the Apple TV which I've sold for £140. Very pleased :)

I joined Vodafone last week and have been really happy so far! Ping is much better than when I was with Virgin so my gaming experience is a lot better. I also like the router and app they provide a lot better than the Virgin one as the it allows you to do a lot more.

I joined around a week ago and it’s not getting above 37mbps but more annoyingly even using my own router no iOS devices can download from the AppStore faster than around 2.5mbps was no issue on Plusnet do they throttle the AppStore?? It’s so slow I use 4g May just go back to Plusnet as my main devices are an iPad Pro and an iPhone 11 Pro

Anyone that ordered recently had their order cancelled for “technical reasons”? I was then told they could process the order again from their end on the same terms and same activation date etc. I was thinking, did vodafone do this to get out of the £100 Cashback through Quidco? I believe it’s going to be quite a struggle now to get the Cashback as my original order was cancelled, and technically this will be classed as a “new” order.

Great deal I signed up in February and got 2 x £100 Amazon gift cards!

I was just going to post the same!! I need to ring in next few days to see about my upgrade - I will mention I am NHS and have seen their 3rd party deals!

Funny that both Smarty and ID mobile (both runs on Three) are doing this for NHS staff but not Three themselves (which is my mobile provider :( )

Fast or speedtest

what is this AP called to check speeds please

Amazing what happens in the time you post on here.

is there anything they don't get for free now?

It needs to be @o2 not @02

I sent an e-mail yesterday to nhs@02.com and I've just had a delivery faliure notification. Has anyone else been able to successfully send their e-mail?

Voted cold, my car came with an 8 year drive train warranty.

My wife works for the NHS but as not got a e mail address so this is not open to all NHS staff which is all wrong

Appreciate your politeness, I commented above already. It was a mistake on my part. Apologies :(

Comes out a lot more than this. Think you have priced it incorrectly. It’s over 48 months and you’ve done 24

Sorry guys I guess lockdown is having an adverse effect on me :( - I have expired the deal. Can't believe myself!

I’m not seeing this...?

The topcashback offer - isn't that for contracts and not as a sim free purchase? Google Pixel 3A, 3AXL, 4, 4XL New Pay Monthly contracts & upgrades Also, I got the pop up for the £50 mastercard, just unsure whether to do that or topcashback as I have a feeling cashback is for a contract?

If you're in London I am selling my Pixel 4 64, like new from Google Store and warranty up to Jan 2022! ;-).

Did the email link work for you? Didn't for me

I got the sense you had to go through the email link in order to get the voucher? Using a different affiliate link would override that surely?

Haven’t tried Quidco but used TopCashback and it tracked as £50 instead of £80

I have 3 mobiles that are PAYM. Currently only one has refreshed and Virgin can't tell me when my other two mobiles might receive this allowance.

Whats a landline?

My wife's with virgin mobile contract. Recently most the time calls goto answerphone and calls dont dial out.

Yh its happened to me many times its so annoying

They use the virgin name but are owned by Liberty Global (US company) not Branson after being bought 10+ years ago. A decent gesture for calls and texts to help people stay in touch, but like others say, if people are at home then they'll likely use wifi as typically quicker for data. They gave away a free data day last year when the EE network went down in the month, which they run on, so can't see there being any issues with this. (y)

nope , wife is same on her phone, and we have had new phones recently , its a Plusnet problem, my work phone on EE connects without problem

maybe its your phones problem, i only just plusnet and havent used it much but its been fine so far

i have Plusnet (£1 a month for 4gb , 4k call and 5k text so reluctant to give it up !)) , struggle for a connection most of the time just keeps beeping , internet is slow, , kids are on 3 and no problems,

got a 9gb contract with plusnet for 5.75

3 is garbage, terrible service, plusnet run on ees service so is better, also 3s customer service is terrible

Not sure what you're arguing. Soldyoursoul is explaining cashback, you get £10.50 cashback from TCB for the £10.00 30GB deal and anither month free if you refer someone. I've refered 3 friends, so I've had 4 months of 30GB data so far, and it's cost me -£0.50 (y)

From the their own customer service: Hi there, I'm SMARTY's answer bot. Currently all SMARTY plans are divided into two categories. Large data plans - 30GB, 50GB and Unlimited. Large data plans do not receive discount for unused data as per the T&C's when choosing your planSmall data plans- they receive the discount

Have you change the setting on your phone to Smarty rather than EE.

10 days in and still pretty good.

My brother is on this plan using an iPhone 7. It has never shown 4G but always 3G. He was on iD mobile which had 4G most of the time. I’ve checked his mobile data setting and it shows use 4G. The APN he’s using is the default one from their website.

Why is bbc iplayer not expanded to offer us a back catalogue of all the content created using the tv tax I mean license? Feels like double tax on everything because there is only so much tax can be increased! Congestion charge, ulez, road tax, council tax, 2nd home + stamp duty....

Good deal OP! (y)

This deal is now live - Mods pls un-expire

Only streaming (exlc. BBC iPlayer) = no licence. 'The law says you need to be covered by a TV Licence to: watch or record programmes as they’re being shown on TV, on any channelwatch or stream programmes live on an online TV service (such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV, Sky Go, etc.)download or watch any BBC programmes on iPlayer.' - https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one

S*it Box will fail to make any profit and will be subsidised by the licence payers to save face. Its directors will continue to collect mega salaries and the same boring old guff will be churned out by the bbc and itv.

Nah, I don't think it makes any difference, o2 don't give us the cashback I think it's mobiles.co.uk (I could be wrong and it's somebody else). Anyway, just a early reminder the next claim is next month, August.

Had this txt off O2 today. I assume it doesn't make a difference to still getting the cashback as the first claim was after that date and processed ok?: Hi. Our relationship with Carphone Warehouse ended on 1 April. So if you need to talk to us directly, we thought you'd like to know we can now safely reopen our O2 stores in England, following the latest Government advice. See how we're ensuring a safe in-store environment:

Mine came today too.

Mine came in the post today.

I had confirmation it was accepted but it said allow 28 working days from confirmation for it to arrive so that's 8th June for me.

Good deal don't forget the family pack, each additional sim will get a £2 discount, I'm paying £37 for 5 of these sims, all capped with £0 so perfect for kids to use

Just moved my mate to 25gb plan for £15 monthly

Because I am Pathetic.

Doing that is quite pathetic. Why not wait 3 days?

I bought yesterday morning. No tracking. So have raised a claim. Only can claim for £22.

Got gig1 installed today. Getting 950mbps/53mpgs 7ms this far. Need to upgrade some of my cables as only had a few cat 5e/6. Pretty impressed thus far although will need to buy new router. My existing runs nearly full rate with DPI off :-/

Quick update, my sync speed on router is 66.2Mbps. Speedtest at this site, which was recommended by an engineer http://proof.ovh.net Down 61.90Mbps up 18.4Mbps I gained some speed by removing the ring wire on the socket.

He checked it inside the house behind the master socket but thinks there's an issue with the line entering the house in the loft and then routed down to the hallway. So he reset the line for it to do its 10 day self test. That's when it's locked at 59Mbits and is happy now. Our lines are copper and aluminium here.

More than likely the line outside of the house for the fault but could of gone into the house to test the line using the bt engineer port to get the true speed and distortion of the line.

Did the openreach guy check the line at the property, or elsewhere in the street?

Same im with ee direct. Hoping they can either beat their upgrade deals (once logged in) or match black friday deals for new customers

I’m on a sim only and due an upgrade

Upgrade right? Or new contract?

EE offered me iPhone 11 128gb 60gb data Unlimited calls/texts £38/month nothing upfront

I rang EE as my contract is nearly up with them. Nearest they would go was £600 up front and £49 a month ! Complete joke

Well I'm in Glenrothes, rarely get that high

Got a call a couple days ago and got offered this deal, I accepted and took out the same deal for the Mrs too

There was a deal only last week that also had cash back making it 12pm so not amazing but I have no issues with three. Seems all of a sudden these posts are packed with complaints. I’m north east of Scotland and get around 30mbps or higher wherever I am.

they just upgraded me on the phone, im a existing customer one month from end of contract, upgraded now paying £18 for unlimited every thing on 12 month contract, no early upgrade fees eitther

cracking deal, thats why ive been with three 15 years, upto 50meg down and 20 up in my house (mostly 40 down and 8 up) deal is still live to new and customers looking to upgrade

Contact them and explain and when they try and fob you off, make sure they give you a free month for the inconvenience

Three down again today in Bristol. got a dual sim phone, one on Three one on SMARTY, both no signal. Second time it's completely gone down in the 10 days I've had both sims. Not massively impressed.

YOO GLITCH!!! Thought i was too late, clicked link and was able to still buy. just now! Heat!

Echo the other comments about Three in London. Used to be half decent but recently its been very awful in terms of slow data speeds or at worse, no service whatsoever. Also indoors in the city area, it seems to really struggle with a good signal. I had enough, and last week,I took the leap of faith and tried out Voxi. Yes I've heard about Vodafone and their terible customer service, but given its only a 1 month rolling contract, if something is not right I will just jump again, given how easy it is to port numbers nowadays (though still that 1 day turnaround hassle, just dont do it on a Friday!) Wanted to take the EE deal but it ties you in for 18 months, so Voxi seemed right for me (losing some of the perks of a monthly contract such as wifi calling )

Going to give this ago, 45gb ‘contract’ with the claim unused data back thing. Can’t be worse then Vodaphone right.... You lot better be right (lol)

Super, that's really good to know, thanks.

Hot

Any TCB please

Just to prove that you do. Anyone’s free to use if they like
