got a plusnet sim

I decided to try this plusnet mobile, £7.50 for 1000 mins, 2GB of data, 1GB normaly and unlimited text seems a good deal.
I got the sim yesterday, activated today and have stuck it in my phone, we will see how it works in places where Vodafone fails, I still have my old sim in an old basic phone.

If all goes well, I will phone vodafone, get my pac and port my number over to plusnet.
since plusnet mobile is separate to their broadband and you do not really get any special deal for having both it means i am not not locked into anything as my broadband minimum contract is up and plusnet mobile is only a 30 day rolling contract.

Don't you get double the data ?

His post did say 2GB, 1GB normally - I'm wondering if he realised that deal was just for Plusnet users?

They have had some offers on the website, which made it unclear, possible the offer was the same as the "mates rates" when you have PN broadband.

I am assuming it also just uses EE?

LIFEmobile users moving across now have access to 4G signals. Just no WiFi Calling or 4G Calling (VoLTE) yet.

That is normal for the offer, i do not think that have anything to do with me being a broadband customer,they have something called mate rates, what ever that is.

i have got a problem with data, for some reason mine do not work, I reset the settings and even done them manually and it do not work. i have heard that some sims are faulty, so maybe mine is, i will phone them tomorrow.

Also, the signal for EE at my mates place is awful, but then so is every other network for some reason and yet he lives only a five mins walk from the centre of town.

Confused me. I have a closed account for Life mobile on my credit file, only now it says Plusnet Mobile and I was about to hit the fraud button when I realised the name has changed.

Problem for me is, I never got a sim with Life Mobile. I cancelled 5 minutes after I ordered via USwitch - but still got it on my credit file, even though they told me they didn't do a credit check!

Data is now working using old sim, they did send me a new sim but when i phoned to have it activated, they told me they found a problem and was working on it.

So old sim and Data is now working on it.
We will see how things go.
