Roaming Deals & Offers

Indefinitely no but 3/2/1p rates with o2/Three and Delight (if you need EE coverage) or 1p mobile min/text/MB - at these rates sending a text every three months+minimum to keep a sim active is piss all (y) Info linkbelow, but do check accurate up to date info on provider websites https://kenstechtips.com/index.php/payg-inactivity-account-termination-and-credit-expiry

Damn was! I never do the Prime day palava like the rest of HUKD lol I’m happy enough with Prime Video as a Student sub at £3.99 - Prime Day beginners luck eh!!

Lucky spot. I never get that luck

Is there a PAYG sim that starts active or the credit remains indefinately ? Want to get a second sim for dual SIM phone but will hardly get used mainly for website orders / receiving calls

I was shocked as budgeted for £35 (£40 at a push for something little more spec’d) for a basic 4G secondary dual sim backup to my i7 for voice/text coverage - kept thinking they’ll cancel but no -got dispatch notice today (party)

looks like it's the same ac but different order number - we'll see. Thanks for the encouragement @foneman2 !

AFAIK, so long as your Account number remains the same mobiles.co.uk don't mind.

Persistence paid off, although O2 said the only way to add this was to upgrade my tariff at no extra cost. I have now have 18gb + roaming! Thing is I'll never us the data and since they've switched my tariff I'm thinking I won't qualify for the cashback any more?! How strict are mobiles.co.uk at checking the details?

Thanks! I've had 4 calls and 1 online chat, all telling me different things. The latest version is that it's not eligable because it's a "standard tariff/contract". Trying to escalate -@foneman2 should i tell them it's a "Q1 18 tariff" then?

Yes I’ve got this deal and yes like you O2 CS don't seem to know about the roaming outside Europe deal and wanted to charge me the standard £4.99 per day. So be PERSISTENT! it took 5 calls and 2 escalations but I finally got them to agree. It’s call the Q1 18 tariff :)

Three is 3G, 4G roaming in mainly sister networks I believe, or was. EE roaming is 5 countries, Canada, US, Mexico, AU & NZ, and now only on a 24m phone plan now. o2 has more inclusive roaming networks, and 30 odd £4.99 a day (excludes incoming calls/texts - no charge is made, outgoing activity to U.K. or same country or data makes the daily charge apply). https://3g.co.uk/reviews/feel-at-home-review

Isn't roaming on o2 only using 3G (with the exception of Germany), unlike with EE and Three that allow you to roam 4G?

Includes free netflix for 6 months now as well

Pity you can't get this on the 10 gig SIM only, that would be enough to make me switch I think

Sim swap after 6 months, new sim only and someone see the last 6 months out back home of the original ? Much cheapness. But for for a year AU payg is much better value, UK calls is cheap in most payg AU plans as it’s the head of the empire (mentality) and the time zone means most calls are off peak to U.K. ;)

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

dispute it with using noddle or something ;>

Why is tethering such a big deal? If you've paid for a certain amount of data, surely it makes no difference how you use it?

Would not take the chance you could end up with massive bill they don't allow tethering that's their policy

Has anyone tried tethering? I know iD don't allow tethering but would they hassle if you tether? Anybody with tethering experience with iD? Thanks

I'm happy enough with iD Mobile so far but have a couple of grumbles. 1. Ordered the SIM on the 18th April and the plan was started on the 19th but it took about 4 days to receive the SIM.. 2. The app is very decent by why do I always have to login each time I open it up!!!

Try online chat

Just tried calling 150 to move to this and they advised no max plans are available. The call centre person offered me 40gb for £25 per month but only with EU roaming not US roaming and not a max plan. Was then advised she could do it for £20 but I decided to leave it. Anyone else managed to get this SIM only deal in the last few days?

I said no. I am not getting it. I only receive same as you. I phoned up to try and get the BT sport add on as well and apparently those deals dont exist anymore.

You can check this on the MyEE app, the text under allowances should mention select countries.

No. I think i need to phone back up. Other people are getting it, so i think im entitled to it as well

Just noticed that neither Quidco or TCB offer any money back for sim only contracts with mobilephonesdirect. That ruined that idea.

I know many people get problems but of you make sure you clear your cookies properly each time it reduces the risk. I've been lucky and have claimed thousands back from Quidco and TCB without major problems. In this case they're specifically offering this deal with the cashback, so even more chance of being successful.

I might be reading it wrong but.... http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/sim-only/pay-monthly shows this deal, with redemption, coming out at £9pm but with the possibility of £30 topcashback as well, or Quidco

This may be so for some, but we have recently cashed out two sim deals from November, bought through Quidco.and we had £40 each as advertised.

Really having second thoughts about this with all the reports of people not receiving their cashback; I'm in bluddy bad need of a contract though...

Price has increased so now it's £26.59 with the code. Still cheaper than Amazon though

I don't know why this Deal is cold, for what it is, this is a good Deal. :-)

I believe around the Black Friday/Cyber Monday time ... Let's hit it goooood!!!. :-D

The OP's Deal states 12GB open for 1 Year ... 2GB over 12 Months = 24GB. Not 12GB instead. :-)

Yep!. Got that last Year, but from Amazon, and for more money though, lol, but yes, £27 would have been notably a better stonker of a price to the almost £40 I rather paid for the exact same thing. :-( Lol, but for what it is, it's cool I guess. :-)

Well maybe that's what needs to change.

In legal terms age isn't a "protected characteristic" so you can be discriminated by age the others are.

I don't know who you are but I like your cut and would like to subscribe to your monthly newsletter.

Same That's one of the reasons I moved from Sky I didn't just get blocked from that but I also got blocked from Putlocker I moved to Plusnet, I don't think they block websites like these big brand (I think) And they are cheaper How is blocking these sites even legal? Isn't it breaking the Net Neutrality law I did a little research this is probably how they get away but saying it's "too protect the children" iwf.org.uk They are doing a good thing but the problem is when ISPs work with them Another interesting one is Barracuda I think that's Seagate Barracuda, how are they helping (skeptical) (shock)

All comes back to what I said on the nokia 8 £350 handset post. The 'Young' and insecure are so willing to boast,brag and compete at any cost, all hours, they will just pay for this junk. I couldnt have guessed that somebody would turn dimwitted immature human lives into an online video game/reality show and they would pay for there own humiliation! I used to think people playing '2nd Life' were extremely sad losers,but compared to the mediocre beings plastering mundane existence/ achievements on social media,its possible some 2nd life players are brilliant and tune in to practice covert social interaction with idiots for relaxation.

Thank you - worked for me (y) great deal. I am currently with three so I just hope I can bounce my number to a free sim and back to the new contract

Can someone tell me if internet speeds improved in EU with Three after introduction of Roam Like at Home? I was with Three just 1.5 year ago and the speeds were atrocious. Whilst I wouldn't complain about slow speed outside EU I would have hoped speed within EU improved now. Does anyone know?

I am still awaiting my cashback. I got my sim on a 12 month in October and waiting for £45. It doesn't say how much I will defo be getting it just says pending.

All these company seem to decline the cashback. Plus.net decline me and a colleague, I appealed and they paid out but my colleague missed the 100 day window (which is from the date of tracking, not declining) to appeal so lost the £70. They hope most people don't appeal and therefore they never have to payout.

topcashback have become bunch of scammers, last few months keep saying merchant declined the cashback, no reason give, no way to raise a complaint, can't go directly through to the merchant, only cashback in pennies always paid out, suprise suprise

when i add to cart the automatic discount does not apply?

thanks ordered for my son ipad .

Thanks OP. Ordered.

Many thanks. Just ordered it as s back up sim.

The 12 months will start once you put in a device or phone & connect to the mobile network. Remember, 3 have a fair use policy for roaming - use this abroad all the time they may deactivate roaming or cancel it

£45 now.

Why is this so expensive now? It was under 30 pounds last year, and mobile internet should be getting cheaper or more...

Great for when there are no free wi-fi hotspots available, or I'm on a bike ride and I use "live tracking" on my Lezyne bike computer app to let family know where I am in real-time. Sod's law, I bought a 12GB sim from Amazon last month, because I had not seen the 24GB version in stock for months!

Yes,it got reduced for xmas, myself buying one November. It seems a 'while stocks last' offer. I guess if it sells our at £40 then, no reduction.

Got this 2nd September last year at £28 handy for holidays abroad and caravan used in Samsung tablet and a Huawei mifi from another deal on here as mentioned, think it was carphone wharehouse on a monthly rolling contract cancelled after 1 month supplied unlocked. works great with this 3 sim.

Goes into basket at £1, but rises to full price on checkout!

Lyca? a cold cold day in hell..

Well check the description, clearly mentioned Lyca. Also mentioned I haven't posted many deals before but hey if you bothered to read that you would've seen Lyca in the description.

For £1 it’s a great deal, cancel it after a month of use.

Clever. Don't mention Lyca in thread or image!! Cold

Just got offered an upgrade to 30GB for £17.99 plus 6 months Apple Music and free BT Sport. Didn't take the bait as the agent mentioned this would drop to £13.99 if I took broadband out too. Will ask for PAC and try my luck.

If you have a PAYG sim you can upgrade and get £4 off the cost so that would be £17 for 20GB or £21 for 25GB.

Yes these kind of offers is always luck You could try as a new customer you may get somebody on the other end of the line who would give in

So it's basically luck? New customer ?

I heard about this deal on this website but was not available online. It was only available over the phone so kept calling them over the lat 3 to 4 weeks and finally yesterday someone I spoke to new about the deal and offered it to me as an existing customer. What I have done last night is asked for the PAC for my existing number and I will take it out to another pay as you go network and bring back to virgin mobiles new price plan. It's matter of speaking to the right person. I called as a new mobile customer on 0345 600 0789.

£30

Any upfront cost

Any upfront cost

Is this deal still available please

I have upgraded my sim only plan and was connected to cancellation team for cancelling line.. Was offered 30% . Upfront was 60 but i asked to reduced so max he could do 30 ..

Just checked I'm actually paying £14.00 p/m for this :D So, no one ever believes me because it seems way too good to be true but do I care? Glad to share anyway: I have the Three 'One Plan'. It includes: All-you-can-eat data, 200mins, unlimited 3to3mins and unlimited texts. (who needs mins nowadays?!) This was supposed to cost £20.00 per month at the time, Three give -£3.00 discounts for loyal customers or something so it took it down to £17.00. The guy who I was on the phone with accidentally applied the discount twice and it took it down to £14.00 p/m. I hesitated for about two weeks as my previous contract with Three was only £10.00 for 2gb p/m and I didnt use it that much. After realising how good a deal I was getting I called back to get the deal, different guy on the phone said no that offer isn't right - the discount was applied twice by mistake. I said well thats what I was quoted so that's what I want. He said it was there error and they could do nothing except let me go ahead with the deal. I'm in a long distance relationship so the all you can eat gb comes in handy for long skype calls everyday! If you need proof I can provide screenshots or whatever (y) I think I just got really luck and not sure if this deal is still about but I'd give Three a call and see what they can do for you. Edit: I forgot to say I also have a personal hotspot with 4GB data included in this plan. Also I found this, it may be a helpful read: https://jmcomms.com/2016/01/26/i-had-a-good-run-on-the-threes-one-plan-but-never-expected-it-to-end-quite-like-this/

No, I'm using 4G, do they even still do 3G?

For extra pound a month rather unlimited mins and extra gig.COLDDDDDDD

yes i was offered that as my contract is over, but too be honest 3 network is ****, i cant get 4g signal where i live , anywhere else is fine.....plus i dont really want to be tied down to a 12 month contract....i have my 3 pac code which i have to use by 10-10-2017, otherwise my contract will continue with 3 on unlim call, unlum texts and 4 gb data..

How did you manage that, my wife got a new sim sent out the other day as still had the 3g Life one so needed to call them and change to the £7 2.5gb but it was like pulling teeth going through security

I placed order yesterday yet cashback only tracked at £45 and no £3 to be seen.

There seems to be a lot of different deals based on existing customers & new ones.if you bargain hard looks like you get good stuff

I'm on same deal but I get 30Gb Hotspot for £19 but mines is a rolling contract son only deal

Do you know what thats my fault!!! I swear it was 600mins before!! but yep it is unlimited!

Absolutely ,unlimited data on rolling contract for 13 .?? Really .Are we expected to believe that

Took out this deal today but paying the £20 a month as I don't already have a Three Sim. Should arrive tomorrow and I'll move my number over. Im more than happy at that price with the amount of data and how much I'm going to be using it abroad. Cashback has has only tracked at £45 and not the £70 I was expecting but hopefully it will update to the correct amount

No problem. I never had to call. All those people who wouldn't believe it's possible, there you go. Btw, I have the same 4gb plan also for £7pm :)

I finally managed to get a good deal but due to Three's 20 minute auto disconnect policy it took me a very long time. Upgrade by phone I managed to get the Essential plan with 4GB and unlimited minutes/texts on a 1 month rolling contract for £10 reduced from £14 - it is a deal they can offer over the phone but took me a long time until the guy would offer it. I then changed my plan through live chat customer relations and ended up on the Advanced plan with 30GB and 600 minutes for £13 still on a rolling 1 month contract which is what I wanted to begin with. Perseverence will get you there but it's long, infuriating journey. Thanks again to 6ixFoot1.

The EE 14.50 only goes up with RPI every year it's a great deal as its rolling. I'm hoping for a free double up to 64 after paying one year but that's at their discretion. I just want more data now

Every 5 months or so EE put the deal on here. It's due in august as the last one was march. I was on unlimited with three for a year till June that was 14 but the quidco took 6 months. Three played hardball last June so glad i overlapped it. The thing is I'm finding it hard to keep inside 32 my football streaming is high. Three know the sweet spot for unlimited data is 16 which is why it's so hard to get it. I thinking of paying a few weeks on a new three SIM and stepping up to it but i don't really want the money exposure on extra data that pushes me above my 16 limit for paying.incidentally I have successfully put a 200 minutes unlimited data three sim in a Sony xperia m4 aqua and the tethering didn't go down so i got effective one plan, that's why I'm wanting three again

Agreed. Mum is on the 60Mb plan and whilst it's enough for her usage, speeds rarely top 40Mbps and things can get a little slow in the heart of London or any place that's really populated (Kings Cross station during rush hour for example). I'm on the full speed plan and haven't dipped below 70Mbps in ages. Outside of peak network times (4-7pm) I've been able to match my virgin media speeds of 200Mbps

I have been hoping EE would ring back after getting my PAC code, but nothing so far... currently on the 8gb for £20 a month

This was on just after the 32gb deal. That's due now with it been offered 5, 10, 15 and 20 months ago.

I found the same thing, got my pac code in the end

I can't show more willingness than asking for my PAC code. Iv tried 4 different cc guys/girls lol
