Where the best place to go for a cheap SIM?

I got a couple of lebarra ones for family members that need a basic phone.

They've been great and run off the vodafone network if that helps.

Check out Idmobile. I don't know why they aren't more popular. Everyone mentions the usual cheap brands.

Just changed from Idmobile to spusu.
ID were good value with data rollover.
But the three network left me without a signal too often.
Spusu seems better for connection but I think the speeds might be throttled down.
Mrs Easty is on Lebara and that's been good.
I would be with Lebara but try to keep us on different networks so one of us has a signal.

We've done the same and it works well.
If you need more roaming data, I have found 1p mobile to be good - runs on the EE network.

Moved all the family to 1p network. Impressed.

Moved earlier in the year to Lebara but have never had so many ghost calls since so looking to move. Would like to get on the EE network (currently on Vodafone but partner always seems to have a better signal on EE).

For companies using the EE network, Utility Warehouse have a 10Gb / £5 tariff but I have an old energy account which seems to be messing things up, 1p looks similar to Lebara at 5Gb/ £5. ID Mobile are on Three (now combined with Vodafone network) but cheapest is £6 for 20Gb.

Dunno what Spusu is on but I was with O2 (ie paying them £20pm because costs got carried away with themselves!) and I'd be standing on Richmond Bridge wondering why the fk I had zero bars. This is Richmond in London, not Richmond, the quaint market town, in Yorkshire!

I did the same for 3 of our phones. The signal on Spusu has been great, far better than three. And I think it was 40gb a month, unlimited calls and texts, costs me £9.90 a month for each.

Me:
Mozillion (EE) 100GB 24mth deal - £108 prepaid.

Kids/Parents:
Lebara (Voda) 50GB - £1.31pm for 9 months, will port them when that finishes.

I've used 1p before who were fine, also Lebara as a second eSim also fine with good roaming quotas and Spusu too who had small roaming quotas and issues with some OTP services (common issue).

Another one for Lebara here.

Moved from Voxi because we wanted roaming and got a low-start deal from MSE - 50Gb for £9.90pm after 7 months
