Looking to get my dad on the cheap £4.50 a month deal as he`s such a low user, he`s currently on Tesco payg.
As he does not have a landline I would like the changeover to go smoothly, can anyone who has changed tell me how long it took if you kept your number too?
Assume its the usual 24 hours?

I did it last week.
02 to Lebara, keeping my number.
They give your account a new number initially, and schedule the change to your number a few days later.
It wenrt smoothly.
The signal isn't as good, but acceptable for my use.
Also did the same recently. Easy sign up and easy to port my number.02 to Lebara, keeping my number.

My signal has improved but the signal in my area has been crap on EE since they switched off 3G.
The process of porting the number took less than a day and you get to pick which day it is as part of the process, which is all done online.
Got a text before they started and a text when it was done.
Lebara piggyback off Vodafone, I personally have never had an issue with signal in four years. The bonus is I have been paying £5 for all that time, the price has never gone up.
You also get free EU roaming, again it has worked in every country I have visited.
I think Lebara is amazing for the money.

I'm on a different tariff, but have three mobiles on Lebara and all good.
Have you considered O2 PAYG - 3p, 2p, 1p calls, texts, Mb data
Buy a SIM for 99p from eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236180514529
Then it's an initial £10 top up.
Or if you want Lebara - check out HotUKDeals or Moneysavingexpert as they often have 'introductory' deals for 6 or 7 months (often 3 months, sometimes longer)

We were on 02 and took up an offer.
Binned it off and back to 02 as the signal was crap and even in a good data area worked at a crawl.
how is the job at o2 goingBinned it off and back to 02 as the signal was crap and even in a good data area worked at a crawl.
Thing is, we are pretty remote and tried every single provider when we moved here as we were on EE and it was basically non existant with signal.
Eventually swapped to Tesco mobile at one point as they use the O2 network but it was a lot worse so went back to 02 and it has been pretty good.
I do believe that the cheapo providers don’t have the bandwidth that the main ones have which is probably why.
Having said that, horses for courses!
Another vote for Lebara here. I have been on 3 forever, but the last few years the signal has turned to utter crap in busy areas such as train stations. Despite having full signal, 3 just didn’t work any more.
Moved to Lebara earlier this year. No issues since. The transfer was straightforward, as is their pricing packages.
No frills, but no nonsense.
