Cancelling mobile phone contract
« on: January 11, 2012, 07:27:17 pm »
Hi guys,
I have been on contract mobiles for about 10 years now.
Last time I had PAYG was when you paid for a scratchy card and put the code in through an automated service.

As I am sick of paying £35 a month for my contract I am going to end it next month when the 2 years is out.
I have an iphone 3gs, and want to buy a 4, then go to PAYG. I mainly use internet, but don't call many people, and do a little texting.
So the main thing I will be looking for is a good deal for free internet, or a fair bit of free browsing at least.

What networks or plans would you guys recommend I do in order to save around £20 a month off what my bills were?

Threes £15 sim only deal is very good. Giffgaff is also good value (but it uses O2 network).

What gets best signal in the areas you are likely to use your phone?

Orange tend to have a good signal. Vodafone seems rubbish.

Just left Orange after 2 years and went to Vodafone. Much better signal all round my house, work, etc. so good signal in east Scotland.

I would say Three network would be your best bet for low price/high data usage. Vodafone also do iPhone specific sim cards at decent prices.

Please note, the above few comments (and mine) are not true PAYG sims. They are still pay monthly but for sim only. You should easily be able to get a sim card, on a 1 month rolling contract, for £15 or under. :happy2:

I noticed that. Very strange.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.
