What's best SIM only deal Jan 2023?

[andyconceptge]

I'm with Three and they are putting the price up from £13 to £20.

I only use about 3-5 GB of data a month.

Any thoughts on best SIM only deals out there? I'm travelling up & down the country selling MOT Bays and garage equipment, literally from Scotland to Cornwall and everywhere in between (and off to the sides!) - so coverage needs to be pretty good as on phone all day to our lovely customers!

Appreciate any thoughts, opinions, or advice.

First google turned up giffgaff doing 5GB a month for £8, unlimited calls / texts, EU roaming included, and no contract.

I'd recommend GiffGaff - excellent service, uses the Vodafone network so pretty good, although I think they're all much of a muchness these days.

You also get 100 mins of Internationals Calls every month, so very good if you have relations living abroad.

Managed to get 30GB for the same price end of last year in the sales.

I used to be with 3 since the early days, but switched to O2 a couple years ago and find the signal better.

I've recently moved to Lebara having had 2 years on Vodafone and was happy keeping the iPhone 12 so couldn't argue with how cheap they were and have had no issues so far (they use the Vodafone network). Went for a monthly plan so that if I find I can't live with it, I can switch easily. If you want 50% off Lebara for 3 months, drop me a message and I'll send you a link (I'd get £50 off my bill too).

Ive been with Virgin for a while. I think it's £6 a month and you get 4GB data plus unlimited calls and texts. I struggle to use it all tbh, although I'm usually within range of WiFi.

How about 85p/month for 5GB?

I've used giffgaff as my UK network for some time and whilst cheap the coverage and network performance is pretty sub par. even next to a voda user (Maybe a prioritization thing?)

GiffGaff use the O2 network, not Vodaphone.I've been with them for 10+ years as O2 was the only mobile service we had in our village in rural Warwickshire.

GiffGaff runs on the 02 network.

It's owned by Telefónica UK Ltd,

Same here, I pay £5 a month for 3GB of data, 1000 UK minutes and 100 international minutes. They use the Vodafone network and have been utterly brilliant.

I pay £10 a month each for my children's sims and they get 15GB a month.

Beware of ID mobile as they use 3, and in my experience coverage can be poor in some areas.

That can be said for any network, they all have not spots. I'm with Id and am perfectly happy with coverage, Wifi calling and free roaming.
