Not a good start with Virgin. I ordered on Wednesday, they emailed me to say that the SIM would arrive on Thursday via Yodel, and gave me a tracking number, so I arranged for my number to be ported tonight. The SIM didn't arrive, and they've said that they posted it on Thursday, Royal Mail...
I've just looked at their site, and the normal £7 deal is 250 mins. It seems they use Vodafone, which (according to the online signal site thingamajig) is good in some parts of Hove, not so good in others.
Yep, sounds good.
Nope, can't get Virgin cable, so I'm Sky fibre.
I expect Tesco would be too, but I could try them both for £1.
Thanks. I didn't realise any old supermarket could sell them, I thought each supermarket would only sell one option. Trying a couple for £1 each sounds sensible, but...
Thanks. Could you explain to this numpty why it's a no brainer?
I like the idea of getting a virgin and tesco SIM for £1. According to the Which site, the virgin will have better coverage.
It shouldn't be more than £10 really, and could be less. I'm after 2 SIM contracts.
That's a smart idea. Will the SIMs be pay as you go, and have a number? And is there an app to tell me how my signal strength is, rather than looking at some dodgy bars?
I hadn't even looked, I'm not really bothered, as there are plenty of decent deals, I just wanted to choose the best company...
I have a Virgin promo in front of me, and it's saying it uses the EE network. So are you saying that's fine, because the problem is with the EE customer service or something, and not the network? Or are you saying Virgin was good when not using the EE network?
Given the data isn't important to...
You were moving from EE, not from o2, so is the poor GiffGaff network a known fact, or is it speculation?
I don't need data speed. See my 1 - 3 in OP :)
To be honest, I haven't really looked at anything yet, other than reading previous threads on here (did a quick search). Three generally had a bad reputation, although perhaps that has improved.
I had planned to switch to GiffGaff, but then I read (more than once) that they don't have the same...
I've been with o2 since BT Cellnet, and never had a problem, but it's time to change and make a saving.
I would have just switched to Giffgaff, but I understand they don't get the full o2 coverage, they get a watered down version.
My priorities:
1) decent network coverage, starting with...
