Affordable Mobiles Discount Codes & Deals

In my experience the contract starts as soon as you place the order.

If I go for this deal, when does the contract start? As soon I paid for it or can I request a starting time? I want the contract to start at the end of the month. I also need to port my current number. Can some one please comment?

I suppose everyone's experience can be different I have changed contracts to get better deals, having to port number to PAYG and then back to Three but have never had any issues with cancelling out of contract. Last year I started a new contract, realised I didn't need it and cancelled within the 14 day period with no issues, the strange thing was I still got my £70 cashback reward :D

I had been having issues with 4g speed and calls were garbled and dropping out.. I spoke to their customer services then their technical team. Long story short I was told to set data types in settings to 2g/3g. That fixed the call issues and the speed was now steady but obviously slow. They offered half price for one month as they said it was whilst they were upgrading the network. I did not want to be stuck on 3g and my other phones / sims were working fine. The guy agreed to end my contract early with no fee. I asked him to make a note on the account which thankfully he did, but he did not process it correctly or maybe it's just an automatic thing that they try to recoup. I then got the letter a few days later requesting my remaining contract be paid plus admin fee. From then on I kept recordings of calls plus screenshots and id numbers of chat transcripts. Every time I spoke to them they agreed it was an error and I did not have to pay. But I kept getting letters and calls from their collections team. In the end I gave up and blocked the number. It was something I had to try and straighten out because I don't want them ruining my credit score for something so trivial but it took a lot of time and I never yet got a letter confirming £0 balance.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. What happened in the end with the £364 that you owed? Was it an error on their side?

Hmm dunno if that 200+ was on 4G. Sounds like 5G that does to me. It all comes down to location and load on the tower but even today I was having issues with phone calls on Vodafone.

Yep, costly (already have the other routers though), hence I dropped it. This was Vodafone late night... I did see 200+ on o2, but that was in a 5G phone, near a 5G mast, albeit supposedly on 4G.

Hmm. I guess. It just I don’t know how those companies would use that information other than to send you SPAM, SCAMS or cold call you.

Knowing the numbers you’ve called and when. This is all invaluable to many companies to help build profiles on you and people like you for advertising purposes.

I’ve got somewhere close to that on EE 4G but never seen anything close to it on other networks on 4G. Maybe 120 mbps if I’m lucky and right next to the tower. I see what you were thinking bit costly a route to go through though?

Thanks for posting. I went for the 12 month deal

You will have to port number to another network than port back if you want this deal

Or as another alternative, you could go via Quidco (I am on Premium) for 12gb data, £8 per month. They have a £25 bonus on selected mobile companies this week which includes Three SIMO direct with Three, plus their normal £32.50 cashback. So £8x12 =£96, minus the cashback = £38.50 for the year, or £3.21 equivalent with no claiming required. Tracking is a potential risk, but personally I haven't had issues with Quidco Three deals.

Ah good question then, perhaps you could phone/live chat three and ask them if it's possible to just move your number, otherwise it'll be back to having to PAC etc.

Actually I am PAYG on three.... that's why I asked...

Out to Giffgaff and back - just done it

How can I transfer my old 3 contract numbers over to this ?

Any suggestions on cheap phone to use as Hotspot? Or would it be better to use MIFI/sim modem?

Letter before action and then off to the small claims

Expired. Deal now shows as only £20 cashback, gutted! Will have to stick to the Fonehouse £10/month one. EDIT: It is still there but only if you click 'Get Deal' up here which didn't work for me on my main browser initially. When I went direct the deal is nowhere to be seen.

Showing as £49.99 upfront when I add to basket, any idea why?

Could anyone explain how to get the additional 20 percent off? I am a student and would love to get it for the lower price (y) 🏽

Having to send mine back arrived today really poor speeds on EE 1.62 download compared to Lebara 130mbps plus . Gutted might just be my area but Lebara on vodaphone has fantastic speeds allover . Hopefully Affordable mobiles will process the return quickly and I don’t know if I will be charged part we month . Had to pay £9.00 special delivery myself which is unusual for something that isn’t suitable .

Can anyone share a code for 20% off on ee perks ? Please

Where do you enter the discount code?

Yeah this must have been changed as there is no way you get it for less than a £100 up front for £26 a month

Brilliant, thank you so much for that! I'll try and sort it tomorrow as my cashback with fonehouse has ran out now and I'm currently paying full price/month on a vodafone sim only deal.

I'd just change my number and text it everyone .

No you don't. See my reply. Moving from Vodafone to Vodafone you don't. Me and my friend did it.

Had a cashback with 3 through affordable mobiles last year and had no issues with cashback so took out another Vodafone deal with them this year with £198 cashback.

You'll have to port out pal

Red. Ferrari red :D

Unlimited

What about the monthly internet

red or purple iPhone 128 GB for 43£/m.

An unlimited Smarty SIM for £15/m x 24months + £699 = £1059 is still cheaper than this deal.

"Unlimited Data available on O2 Custom Plans on selected handsets and selected SIM Only tariffs. Fair use policy applies, personal and non-commercial usage only. If you regularly use 650GB of data per month or tether 12 or more devices we may consider this to be non permitted use and have the right to move you to a more suitable plan. EU roaming capped at 25GB per month, chargeable at £3.50 per GB afterwards. For full terms see www.o2.co.uk/terms."

we all don’t have a BT speed landline lol so yeah unlimited data it is (100-250meg 5G ;) )

Would you use more than 90gb? If not the below is significantly cheaper https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/iphone-12-mini-128gb-on-o2-90gb-5g-data-unlimited-minutes-and-texts-ps33pm-ps129-upfront-using-code-24-months-at-affordable-mobiles-3624899?utm_source=mappshare&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=3624899

That’s a decent deal but sadly 3 is totally useless where we live and also all the way along the main road to the nearest big town.
