Best SIM only deal?
Discussion
So I caved and got an iPhone XS.
I'm on 3 and have no issues with the network but I'm on a PAYG and it feels a little daft now to be looking over my shoulder with such a capable phone.
I probably spend a tenner a month on average.
Looking here http://www.three.co.uk/Store/SIM/Plans_for_phones the 100GB plan looks almost a no-brainer for "only" £20/month.
Am I missing anything obvious?

BT mobile we’re doing some good deals and they are the EE network although you don’t get their top download speeds.
Regarding 100gb a month, I use about 18gb each month and occasionally gone over. I was on a 20gb package. The next one up from most operators is 100gb I think it’s their way of making it unlimited whilst capping it for those that would start tethering everything to that device.
OP if you have an employee reward scheme or emergency services / military you can get 20% off Vodafone and EE. Also works for friends and families so have a word if that’s anyone you know.

Get a PAYG Three SIM (not on your current number) and then login to the Three app as an existing customer. Then you get the above for £18 as it is an ‘additional product’. Buy it, port in your current phone number and let the PAYG contract lapse.
Or just go through Quidco, pay the £20/month and get £70 cash back.
Good luck.
Myself, my folks and my other half have always been on Vodafone mainly for the coverage where we spend most of our time.
Whenever the existing sim-only contract comes up I have asked to leave citing giff-gaff as much better value - after up to 40 minutes of webchat involving getting passed around various departments as you get closer and closer to getting a PAC code (and sometimes even getting it) they always offer some unbelievable "special deal" that is always better than the giff-gaff package I was using as an example of what I really wanted in the first place.
We have now all got more data than any of us will ever use, and usually for less than we were paying before. Don't mind the webchat hassle for the saving - national stereotypes etc.

Deals vary on Plusnet ,more so if you are a broadband customer. low cost options don't have much data, but I seldom use data away from home. Swimbo has unlimited texts + 2000 mins + circa 1.5Gb DATA . I've got similar data + unlimited texts & calls to landline & 03 numbers .Costs us £6 a month each. As for data away from home- most big stores have free WiFi.
I left Three to go with BT today, the BT deal was excellent but mostly I left 3 because data in London is woeful.
BT deal is 40gb data (double because I have BT Broadband) plus unlimited calls & texts on a 12 month contract for just £12.50 a month (£20pm with £90 cashback). Bloody cheap. And I get 85mb down, 40mb up.

Three have updated their terms to get rid of the 30GB tethering limit on 100GB and AYCE data plans.
That means you can tether as much of the 100GB as you want in the UK. Roaming does have restrictions.
Link? This would be very useful but I can't find anything to confirm.That means you can tether as much of the 100GB as you want in the UK. Roaming does have restrictions.
