……. and ?

Are you on commission Max ?

1pmobile data has traditionally been very expensive, so this is a good offer for them.

However, you don't want to exceed the cap.

If you go just 1Gb over the 500 limit in the UK or the 14 limit in the EU, you will be charged £10 extra.

That's incorrect information. Once 500GB data been all used or 14GB data roaming been all used, the internet will cut off. There is no £10 extra charged and also auto renewal next month to reset data allowance.

The £10 charged only applied to account auto-top up but I always disabled it to avoid £10 charged. Never get charged £10 when I use over 14GB in abroad last year as the internet just cut off (last day before I went home - thanks god for that) honest 14GB are fine for 2 weeks just for using data roaming because most hotel have free wifi. I don't use 500GB one. I use 25GB data for £10 a month. Don't need 500GB for mobile.

It looks quite consistent with what you just told us You WILL be charged £10/GB unless you disable auto top up.

I'm pretty sure that it isn't.

That's definitely not my experience of running out of data allowance on 1pmobile. And it's not what 1pmobile say will happen

Right, so you are saying I am giving incorrect information because you switched off autotopup and because you used hotel wifi.

I am saying that my experience differs from yours, and I never stay in hotels.

how so? I've found it very cheap considering the service actually works unlike other cheap providers.

Whilst I've found them reasonably priced in UK, if you spend too long in EU there is a £1/day charge!

How much does a cup of coffee cost in the EU?

To tell you frankly RWG Mobile is more economical than 1P Mobile and also powered by EE 5G network. https://www.rwgmobile.wales/webshop/pay-monthly/
I pay year upfront 1 Year SIM - 250 mins, 250 SMS & 2GB data every month for 12 months. One-off charge £20. That is equivalent to £1.66 a month!!

Most people don't need 500GB mobile data and £25 a month is a waste of money. I can understand for people who don't have existing FTTC/FTTP services they may be dependent on mobile data. Or in case your connection was down. But this is very rare and when it happens will not happen for more than a couple of minutes.

For me 2GB is more than enough considering many places have WiFi hotspots for free. If my connection was ever down I can use my data allowance or connect to a WiFi and quickly do some work if needed.

The EU naturally has very good internet access. I have visited Bulgaria in 2017 where there was full fibre available. Everywhere across the city has WiFi available. You don't need data roaming when you visit a country in the EU as generally you get WiFi access in most coffee shops, restaurants, shopping malls, etc. You can use phone calls using online social media networks like Facebook, Skype, etc.

People need to think and decide if paying this amount a month is necessary and rational.
