What are people paying for their phone contracts, ideally just the SIM?

Been on Virgin Media rolling 30 day SIM only deal for two years, paying £16/month for 20gb data with rollover, 5000 mins and unlimited texts. However, got an email the other day saying they will no longer offer 30 day rolling contracts come April and will be moving me onto a 12 month contract for £19/month albeit with 40gb data.

I’d say £19pm is good.

I’ve just setup the Mrs on EE sim only for £20pm with 30gb data and unlimited calls and texts.

With some man maths I’m paying £22pm on a 24month contract for 100gb data and unlimited calls and texts with EE.

10 a month on EE. Payg but set up to autorenew.

Unlimited calls and texts only 2gb data but every 3 months get a free bonus so after a couple of years? I think I'm now up to about 10gb. Certainly enough to now not run out even though I use it for music streaming on my regular 5 hour drives between north wales and essex

Tesco, £15/month for 15GB, 5000 mins and texts.

Not the best deal but I'm basically stuck with an O2 carrier as its the only network I can get coverage at work.

£52/month on Three.

With with an S8, and my 2 year contract is not far off ending. But what to do ? The question is, do I upgrade to an S10 or just keep my S8 and go to SIM only ?

Pay £13 at moment for EE 12 month since free, unlimited text and calls, 60gb data, 15gb tethering and also get an extra 5gb data for having their Fibre.

It's supposed to be £20 but they forgot to take an earlier discount off so can't complain.

I'm on Giffgaff SIM only at the moment:

Unlimited texts and calls, and tethering allowed:
£10 per month for 3Gb data
£12 per month for 4Gb data
£15 per month for 8Gb data
£20 per month for 20Gb data

I like the fact that you can change your package online every month if your usage pattern changes.

Bought phones outright and had SIM only plans for years as liked the freedom to say FU whenever i feel like it, took a Vodafone contract few years ago as it worked out great value for the phone and within a month they were jerking me around (travelling abroad they decided they were charging me too much and they'd stop and cut the phone off) Don't travel using Vodafone is the moral here!!

Currently 20 quid for 02 6 or 10 gig or something I think. 3 network is buggy all over Hampstead where I work lots so it's them or voda.

I'm on Vodafone (£11 for 5gb)

Wife and kids are all on Virgin (£7 for 1Gb iirc)

Tbh there are so many places with wi-fi that we dont tend to need that much more.

This ^^^^^^^

I have the Virgin app on my phone which picks up their wifi in a lot of places saving on data, facebook and whats app text messages do not come out of the data allowance either

I have the same deal as part of our "complete package" with internet and tellybox. They can have the lot back if they're changing it that significantly.
