My contract with Vodafone is expiring - says I am entitled to an upgrade. I have found Vodafone expensive, does not give good local (to me) reception and do not give any rewards for customer loyalty. The "upgrade" is going to cost more than my current basic contract which is £47 pm. Their overseas use is also expensive and (as I have just found) the merest touch of the phone to get e.g. voicemail incurs significant charges. I am looking for iPhone 6S with good UK package, reasonable internet use (more than 2Gb) and favourable use abroad. Are there any good packages out there - or maybe coming up for "black Friday"? Help please

I've just gone from Voda to BT. As i'm an existing BT customer and they had a black friday deal on I got a good sim only (which works for me anyhow.) If you need to use it abroad it isn't great, but online reviews will explain it better than I can.

However my main point is that I had poor signal at two major points: Work & home. Apparently BT use the EE network and i've found it to be exactly the same piss poor quality as Vodafones was, so you wonder who is kidding who....

Quick update. Further discussion with Vodafone Customer Services to explore the options - it is amazing how there are all kinds of permutations that are not immediately obvious and very difficult to navigate. I have agreed to a SIM only deal for £15pm for 12 months which gives unlimited calls and texts plus 4GB data plus use in EU without extra charge. Plus some sort of entertainment package for 6 months. Need to change contract before it ends because otherwise price will go up!! Can use any phone and will purchase a 6S at some point but meanwhile retain my 5S which I will then unlock and use for travel further afield. Overall much better than I am paying at the moment and gives me much more flexibility without the hassle of PAC numbers etc. There maybe better deals out there but this is the most convenient for me. Thanks to everyone for their input.
