My boyfriend and me have purchased a new phone that makes having internet on your phone kind of essential, hence why I checked out the options for the two of us and I can’t believe what I see. PAYG customers seem to get a noticeably better deal if you’re just looking to purchase internet.
I am currently on a Solo 15 and get about 300 mins and 600 texts – but no internet. The only option for me as a pay monthly customer seems to be to pay £7.50 on top of my £15 that I already pay. From what it looks like I can only book this from the next time my bill is due (27th) so how am I going to get internet on my phone over the next 16 days without paying £1 per day? The other alternative is upgrading my contract to solo 20 which I honestly can’t afford – and which I don’t need when it comes to mins and texts.
And the obvious question to me is “Why do PAYG customers get such a better deal on their internet?”
£2.50 for 5 days
£5 for a month
£20 for 6 months
I can’t believe this. I also got a new SIM card with my phone, but I obviously need to my old phone number to work.
What am I going to do? Run around with 2 phones using one for calling and texting and the other one for internet until I can cancel my contract? How can these people be so unflexible and the deals for monthly customers so – excuse me – shit?
