SIM Only deals, must have WiFi calling.

[megaphone]

I'm coming to the end of my contract with EE. They're offering me some deals but there appears to be better around, for instance from Plusnet mobile I can get 4GB data and unlimited text and calls for £9/m plus £50 cashback through Quidco, problem is I don't believe Plusnet do WiFi calling which is something I use a lot.

Can anyone recommend an alternative that does have WiFi calling?

Note phone is on EE so I guess I need an EE based network.

I think you can request an unlock for your phone if your coming out of contract for free or small fee.

Yes I think they will unlock it.

Three do wi-fi calling and piggyback on the EE network. Worked well on my own phone with their sim

Three have their own network, don't they?

I think the only networks that do wifi calling are Three, EE, o2 and ID.

BT, Orange and EE do great deals for sim only (or is it monthly contract) if you have BT Broadband.

I've got a vodaphone sim only contact with a sim free phone bought from Samsung.

Vodaphone sent a setting to my phone which enabled WiFi calling. Prior to that it didn't work.

If you are an existing customer, jsut use the text chat online, tell them their deal is no good, and they will offer soemthign better.

They offered me £10 a month for 6gb of data and unlimted other bits.

Yes they have offered me the same for £12/m. I've now got my PAC, hoping they may come back with better.

I am with EE and saw a decent plusnet deal a couple of years ago so rang EE and told them I wanted to leave to join plusnet and they matched the plusnet deal, win win all round.

Dont know if they are still doing the deal but I got a new Sim only deal with Vodafone a couple of months back:

20 Gb Data, Unlimited minutes & Texts, 500 free EU minutes & a years subscription to Spotify. This also includes WI Fi calling. This costs me £20 a month and considering the Spotify subscription is £10 per month. I think it is a good deal.

Really??????

I moved from EE to BT mobile sim only 18 months ago and have just renegotiated our whole pack (fibre BB, 3 sim only and calls) and saved myself £22/month.
I’m pretty sure BT use wi-fi calling, although coverage has improved in our area, so no longer an issue.

I called EE and they matched that PlusNet contract straightaway.

Three do not piggy back on anyone’s network ... total BS, when initially incepted and growing they used a small amount of O2 masts but that was over 12yrs ago.

From the Three website:
Three operates its own network separately from Vodafone, O2 or EE. They're still technically the smallest of the four mobile networks in the UK but in terms of the population they cover, Three have reach 99% of households with 4G and 98% with 3G. They don't have 2G at all

Vodafone do.

Vodafones system is not the same as EE's and is vastly inferior. Vodafone is also the worst mobile operator as voted by users. Do not go with vodafone. I have found EE to be very good.

Apologies.... Three DO have their own network but ALSO use EE masts in areas where they do not have their own....
Where I live in Somerset is rather 'sparse' with mobile coverage generally (it was only a couple of years ago that Vodafone actually upgraded to 3G..... I spent time with my work phone on a 2G connection!!)

They are, but at the time (and now), EE couldn’t match BT. It probably helps having a discount due to being a BB customer as well.
