    I took things into my own hands. Once my 12 months SIM only contract was up almost two years ago I moved over to a rolling 30-day. I will not go back to the big players on anything more than 30 days. Fuck the greedy bastards.

      Don’t they offset their losses on a thirty day SIM by charging you more per month?

      Who are you with?

        There some low cost MVNOs that offer rolling plans. No frills but cheaper than major networks.

        Giffgaff have recurring “goodybag” system that can be quite cheap. They keep costs low through things like having minimal customer support.

          I haven’t found any 30 day contracts that can beat a well negotiated renewal. You just need to be firm in requesting the PAC code and make them work to keep you as a customer.

          I got EU roaming included in my £9/month contract but I do need to get temporary travel packs for other countries.

            How much data for £9?

            As for roaming, get a local esim. I used AirHub when I travelled to the US and got 5Gb for $4.

            Plenty for Google Maps and WhatsApp.

        60Gb is £10 per month, 30 day rolling contract.
