Unlimited texts, unlimited calls, 50GB data (music streaming is ignored), EU roaming, 5G for £10/month.
Also it’s crazy how much US and AU people are paying!
Bruh what all that for 10? I'm paying almost 6 times that amount 🤯🤯🤯
Call your mobile provider (and be prepared to jump ship to a different provider) and ask to speak to their “Retentions” department or team. Every big provider has a team whose job it is to keep customers by basically throwing sweeteners at them.
It’s crazy how many services do this if you just call up, asking to cancel. Sky or Virgin (can’t remember which as I’ve not watched broadcast TV in a few years) gave me 3 months free every time I called to cancel.
Well there is something called "Visible" (Owned by Verizon) that is unlimited everything, but the data is deprioritized so if its 9PM and everyone is on their phone, your speeds reduce to like 1Mbps due to congestion, but you can still use your data to download torrents overnight since nobody is on their phone and hogging data night. Data speed at midnight is like 30Mbps, so its not a "throttle". $25 per month Unlimited everything is the cheapest you can get. #NotSponsored I just used it previously and it was decent.
Keep in mind AUD is 0.51 GBP.
But yeah, still a lot.
Aaah, thanks for the insight.
I've got 30GB + calls/texts for £8/month.
Ya, US dollar is 0.79 GBP. So my $40 plan would “only” be £31. Still much more expensive for sure though.
