My wife is with 48 months at present but they are ceasing their roaming from June. Where is the best deal at present for free calls, texts and data for a sim only arranagement. Her phone is unlocked so she can move to any provider. Thanks
48 are not ceasing roaming from June, instead of having to buy an add-on it will be
taken from your allowance.In fact it should work out cheaper than before.As it will cost
either ten or twenty euros per month it is the
best value of all.
Both 48 and virgin piggyback on the 3 network which unfortunately has deteriorated recently .The coverage is very patchy countrywide and at times nonexistent.
As already mentioned, 48 are not ceasing roaming, they are ceasing charging for it. Not only that, but they didn't have any data roaming at any price previously, now your monthly data allowance is usable while roaming too. This is all to comply with EU legislation that kicks in from June, so ironically they won't have to provide free roaming in the UK in a couple of years time.
It's €5 a month for the first 5 months if you're an existing customer. Then it goes up to €25. So it's even better.
It's a month to month contract too so after the 5 months you can go elsewhere if there's a much better deal.
